$350 for acting in a porn flick?

[HellHouse]

oh, and there are VERY rarely royalties in porn...VERY rarely, like 0.001% of the time someone will offer royalties, and those that offer that never amount to anything and don't sell shit...LOL

fact is, porn dvd's don't sell enough to really offer any royalties, and how would you offer royalties on a internet scene? by download? by site profit? how would you measure you videos popularity over anothers?

Not to mention that the porn industry does not have organizations like ASCAP, BMI, Harry Fox, etc to monitor and administrate royalty and publishing payments. I've actually been working with a few influential people lately, discussing the possibility of establishing such an organization for our industry. Anyone else think it'd be a good idea? It's way too hard for distributors, broadcasters, etc to fake statistics and we have no 3rd party to monitor them.

That's piss pitiful money for letting millions see your performance.

Not many porn movies are seen by a million people. Most aren't even seen by a hundred thousand people. In case you didn't notice, there's alot of porn movies out there and most of them don't sell more than 3,000-10,000 copies in their entire shelf life. $350 IS decent for a guy, it's even not that bad for a female if she's brand new and the scene is really short or something.

Oh and please don't encourage unions. All that would do is make the best performers earn less in order to 'carry' the newbies and it would create a mandatory 'bottom line' minimum for even the shittiest of performers.

Pay should be directly negotiated by the people involved, based on the facts and abilities presented, not a fucking union representative.
