I don't want to argue about the other issue...
How did this work out?

Hi EmporerEJ,

Honestly? Not very well. We had many replies but none were interesting. Almost everyone wanted a 50/50 "deal" on all gross sales in exchange for nothing of interest back.

One person called just recently and sounded like a used car salesman. Without asking a thing about us, he went on and on about who he was and what he could do, etc. When I told him that it was unfortunately too late, he got very upset and started yelling. After a rant that went on for almost 2 minutes he hung up. Very strange!

Yes, quite distressing.
The adult industry is it's own worst enemy. If there was less people trying to steal other's ideas and work, and more working together, there would be more advancement and protection for all.
Then you have companies that come along and claim to be legitimate investment funds, that only turn out to be scams.

Funny, that. The adult industry has the product that always has a market. You'd think there would be a way for people to be able to invest "cleanly." If someone can crack that nut, they'll have it all.

So far, we've been pretty lucky. We have met only a few people who tried to rip us off (some more famously than others). Overall though this has to be one of the coolest industries I've ever been involved in. Trade shows like Internext and especially Qwebec Expo have proven this to me again and again.

Best of all, the indsutry really knows how to have fun. Check out the Ambush Interview of MediaGuy over at GFY. Not only are the questions great but the pictures of shows past involving my employee and best friend are just too funny. In what other industry could you get away with things like that?

Cheers!

Update

Shellee Hale files a motion in this case for a reconsideration.

The link to the pdf file is the very last one on the page.
Whats interesting is that at the very bottom of the file / motion you finally find out who made the alleged death threat.

SON!
