Default Re: Why the surfers are no longer buying

Just had a "discussion" with Robbie on this over at the xbiz forum. His idea is that since 99% of all BIG programs have been screwing with people since the beginning (his words), so there is obviously nothing wrong with everyone doing it (I am paraphrasing a much more indepth conversation). He's also upset with guys like me warning and giving away the "industry secrets" of x-sales to our members

You got to give him creidt though. At least he still trying to make a living shooting content and selling it instead of sinking to the level of suing everyone for a living like Steve Lightspeed.

Steve Lightspeed is gonna save us all!!!

I have no problem with Lightspeed doing that. Those cocksuckers stole his product. He is not sinking to any level, he is just recouping losses through theft. I have zero sympathy with anyone who gets taken to the cleaners for stealing content that, remember, he shot and paid for.

Graham... actually your right about copyright defense.
I look to the music industry when I say that about suing end users.
I think in the end it encouraged a lot more theft.

Theres just consumers that are no going to buy no matter what. They think tha they are entitled to your shit for free.

You have some marketeers pushing for a freemium business model in the mainstream.

I think theres a idea there and a bit of truth.
After all they fucking sold a virtual seed on farmville to the tune of a million bucks. Thats a lot of people buying literally NOTHING.

Truth is, I had never even heard of him until he hooked up with Claudia Marie a few years ago. He does say he's been around since the beginning (and made millions a year), and he may well have been, but I just never knew of him. And "back in the beginning" we really did all know each other, whether personally or through reputation.

But I do get a chuckle out of his posts as there is always two ways of doing things...his way or the wrong way!
