Is selling content for $1 a piece that far off from $10 a piece? What about $5 a piece? What's the exact cut off where a person XYZ is no longer able to throw out their content for any price to cash in on it?
I own over 200 exclusive scenes. I would never dream of selling the rights to them, let alone sell them for pennies on the dollar, but I can certainly understand how someone might want to do that. Selling this batch at $10 a piece with 10 licenses would net $20k this year. Selling it again next year at $5 a piece with 20 licenses would net $20k next year. Maybe the year after that is $3, maybe the year after that is $1.
Point being, own content and you can do whatever the fuck you want with it. I have bought plenty of content from dirt cheap sources, including one person spouting off in this thread. Cheap, expensive... no excuse for the buyer not getting what they bought. Blaming the buyer for getting "scammed" is in the same ballpark as blaming a cute girl for getting her ass slapped by a drunk douchebag.
The money is gone. Brian doesn't have it. It's not coming back anytime soon. In business you get burned every now and then. It sucks, it's the way it is. Maybe someday Brian will try getting things back in gear but the reality is he doesn't have the money. Expecting to get it is like squeezing water from a rock.
