Wow, even attacking my girlfriend for no reason whatsoever. Pure class.
No one is doing the snoopy dance, but guess what? The industry did this to itself. This problem didn't miracle itself into existence. It is the reaction to decades of irresponsibility and greed. The bed was made, now everyone finally gets to sleep in it. It is going to suck for a lot of people, but it is what it is. I don't get joy out of knowing this *may* cause people to struggle, but truth is, Porno Dan uses condoms and seems to be doing just fine. Wicked has always been condoms, they do well too. So what's the real problem, permits? Extra money having to be spent on testing? Boo hoo.
If you don't even shoot BG, then why are your panties in a bunch?
Yes, I work in a third world country (a few of them), but it has made me not a pansy ass and I roll with the punches. I produce 200+ scenes a year (I pay for all testing), not in an air con studio, not with the help of agents, not with the help if the FSC, not with the help of professional models, and not with the assistance of a STD database. Do you see me crying anywhere? Nope. I adapted and am growing in an industry that is slowly dying. If you can't keep up, that is tragic, but that is life. Porn isn't easy anymore. Deal with it. But lashing out on me and my girlfriend because I don't have to follow the same rules and regulations you do makes you look like the scum bag here, not me. I simply stated that people will violate the agreement, and pointed out (after you tried insulting me) that I don't have to follow your silly rules. Both 100% true.
Mike's views are his own, but he is usually spot on. Those of you who try to protect the industry don't like the truth, and I can understand why, but living in denial isn't healthy and has led to the very problems that caused this regulation.
I don't feel bad for anyone who can't adapt, but that doesn't mean I'm happy they fail. Times change. Business changes. The herd is thinning. I've covered my ass in the event the entire industry went tits up tomorrow, what about you? But it wont go tits up, it will change and survive in one form or another. That's what business does.
