		<description>You are right about the typos, thanks for that correction.  However, my views on the matter are still the same.  That PSA was shot well, but it was not going to do much to stop the problem that the porn industry faces.  There is never a good reason to steal, but it&#039;s going to happen regardless.  The problem here is that porn gets stolen way more than music or movies.  Personally, I think that price is the major factor.  I understand that you have to pay the girls a pretty penny to get them to do this type of thing, but something is going to have to give.  The production values aren&#039;t very good, and the acting is horrendous...when there is any.  So, the industry is trying to get people to buy a DVD that costs 21-30 bucks, when some Russian (or whatever) guys have bought/stolen it and posted it up on the internet?  At some point the writing on the wall has to be read here.  

It&#039;s not like there is going to be legislation for this specific problem, Dems and Repubs are never going to touch this!  I guess you can try and contact the Russian government or whatever other country it is and try to get your money that way.  My guess is that the money spent on that will be a waste.  I say, lower your prices and offer different cheaper options.  Or maybe sell ads and give some crap away for free.  PSAs about theft are just going to get mocked online.  I am sure you have seen all the websites with this PSA on it...and the jokes about it.

About the shady directors, I can&#039;t tell you why they look shady man.  They just have a look one their face that makes me think they are shady.  It&#039;s similar to the look of a seasoned car salesman.  No offense.  Thanks for reading though!</description>

		<description>While I appreciate your balanced take on the issue, your article on how dumb the porn business it to try and stop piracy would have more impact if you hadn&#039;t misspelled &quot;your&quot; in the title.  And they&#039;re dumb?

Also, what exactly makes porn stars and directors &quot;shady?&quot; Regardless of what one thinks about porn, it&#039;s a legal business and it constitutes protected speech. Furthermore, I directed these spots, and it did not take any great time of effort to make the performers look &quot;not shady.&quot;  The goal was to show these participants as PEOPLE not products -- that&#039;s why they&#039;re not styled glamorously. I&#039;m sorry you think they look ugly this way -- am I to assume that they&#039;re only &quot;hot&quot; when they&#039;re looking shady?  If that&#039;s true, you may need to examine your values.

I agree with you that the porn business -- like the mainstream film business and the music industry -- needs a new business model. They&#039;re all still using a variant of a model which was created to see Victorolas in the 1920s. But that&#039;s still not a justification for theft.

Finally, the adult industry isn&#039;t threatening to stop making movies -- the number of productions, not to mention the number of surviving production companies, IS CURRENTLY dwindling. It&#039;s not a threat, it&#039;s a prediction, a trend, based on established facts.</description>

		<description>That guy who came into the shot was &#039;Dave Days&#039;, a youtube celebrity... KassemG mentions the fact that Jessica Nigri loves Dave Days (but the whole thing was obviously set up).</description>

		<description>Stop listening to Limbaugh buddy.  Wait, if you listen to Limbaugh then you have to be a believer that blacks are militants.  If that is true, I would have to assume that you don&#039;t have any black friends.  Calling a man that was the top of his Harvard Law class a janitor is ridiculous.  It is especially ridiculous when you have to realize that John McCain graduated 894 out of 899 in the Naval Academy and Palin went to 5 colleges in 6 years and failed out of 2 of them.  Very small-minded and highly disappointing.  I take it you are a fan of the race-baiting and the screams of &#039;kill him&#039; at the rallies.  So sad.</description>

		<description>Wow!!! Sorry you feel that way.

Is Obama scary because he is black?  McCain has some questionable associations as well (Pastor Hagee, Gordon Liddy, U.S. Council for World Freedom, Pastor Parsley).

About ACORN...they did not commit voter fraud.  Yes, a few paid employees probably committed voter registration fraud, but not voter fraud.  John McCain himself spoke at an ACORN event and praised the work that they do.

This country needs major change and our relationships with other countries need to be repaired thanks to the buffoon that has been in office for the last 8 years.  John McCain is not the person who will help our country especially if he dies in office and we have Sarah Palin as our leader.  If the country is headed in the wrong direction now, it will blow up if Sarah Palin becomes president.</description>

		<description>AYers is not the only suspect association of Obama.  His relationship with Tony Rezco.  His dealings with voter fraud as part of ACORN.  His association with his church as well as the racist comments he has made in the past.

Obama is scary and anyone would be an idiot to vote/hire a person to do a job they have no reasonable qualifications to do.  I certainly would not let the janitor at the hospital perform surgery, and that is about what you are doing if you make this socialist buffon the president</description>
