Holy shit. I just read GDP's Wikipedia page. I was at first doubtful of their guilt but, fuck, these guys are skim bags!
Here's a list of shit they did:
* told girls that they won't be paid or won't receive their returning flight or would have to pay back the hotel if they didn't have sex.
* collected personal information such as parent's names, real names, etc and posted them online after they were filmed.
* released GIFs of them having sex to their friends without their consent.
* mislead them into acting in a porn that's distributed online -- this is sorta dumb on their part but GDP used actresses who said that the company could be trusted.
* refused to stop filming after the girls complain of pain
They were managing an 18 million USD per year company. The lawsuits were bound to come with behavior like that. Pratt is an idiot. This wasn't the mainstream going after a pornographer. This was society going after an idiot who's a walking liability. If Pratt was a better businessman, wait, no, if Pratt was a businessman at all, he wouldn't tolerate such behavior.
What they needed to do was get off of their high horse, check their egos, check their misogamy, and do some serious business. It could have been a really good business for them but, nope!, they fucked up, lost the business, owe people restitution money, and might face jail time (?). Not sure about the jail time as the Wikipedia article doesn't say anything about a criminal charge.
