Amen to you MikeAI. How long could 'the little guy' continue to make money on a venue as open as the web before those with money and POWER decided they needed to put an end to it?
I am not saying that The Big Three that just signed had any sort of conspiracy with Acacia or anything like that. I am not nearly paranoid enough to believe that. But I believe that they also had multiple orgasms when this news broke. I think they KNEW that some people would fight and that would allow them to make sweet sweet deals and maintain, possible grow their power. Personally I am sickened by those that appologize for the big 3 'Don't pull your support' and 'He has done a lot for US' fucking PUH-LEEZE. Nothing has been done by any of them that did not DIRECTLY help their bottom line. People are surprised that they aren't giving money?? Gawd why? Check this out. The world of porn had a reputation of being a bunch of bottom feeding scumbags LOOONG before the internet can about. Now why do you think that is?

Yeah I do not put much credance in conspiracies. It's just the way business gets done. The HUGE video/cable/magazine players are now getting in the net, and they are finally doing it right. We are their competition.... Think about it.
JFK - I think we should all support shows/conventions that are hosted/created by original net companies - those who have grown up with us, and have known for years.
