Re: What the hell is Wicked Pictures Thinking?
They're thinking that if Manwin is managing their paysites they'll keep the long clips off of their tubes, just like they do for Brazzers.
Essentially a great big FUCK YOU to the rest of the industry.

(I'm sure you knew that) What Wicked is thinking is this. If Manwin is managing their paysites, their paysites will actually start making money. Tubes is likely the furthest thing from their minds.

Re: What the hell is Wicked Pictures Thinking?
BULLSHIT! They as much as admitted it when they referred to Vobile.
and yes, I'm well aware that Manwin = Brazzers. While you've been playing musical sales rep chairs the last few years I've been quite vocal about the topic.

Re: What the hell is Wicked Pictures Thinking?
I noticed the press release on XBiz is slightly different than the one on AVN. The AVN one actually ends with:
“Another thing that paved the way for this deal was their willingness to work with us and other studios towards controlling piracy and to work towards implementing Vobile’s MediaWise software available through APAP." That "controlling piracy" really stood out. Of course, I don't take it as they plan to stop it...just control it so they become the biggest pirates! |

Re: What the hell is Wicked Pictures Thinking?
Danny, you hit it. Basically, Manwin has maneuvered themselves into being one of the top tube site operators, and this software is a key in the game. Once a few more are signed on, they will likely use it to scan other websites, and use those results to sue people out of the business.
What that are doing is attempting to create a vertical market for their products. Everyone who plays on their team will be on the biggest tubes, and everyone who does not will be locked out. Other tube sites won't be able to use the content, effectively creating a nice big wall between one side and other other. The real key will be how many studios are willing to sign up.

You (gonzo) as well as everyone else on this board, can bitch and whine.. everyone else will benefit.. and I wont give a fuck.. I made my money at the same time as the heroin addict and prisoner Scott did.. That said, thank you ABEN, you made me a lot of money, even if you never paid me one single cent. |

Or well, maybe you could say Im wrong.. What I meant to say, Scott, Nick @Ilynx, Dean, and many many others, made me a hell of a lot more money than any of the combined "efforts" of what remains of Oprano ever willl.. The main exception might be Danny.. even thought I never did any direct business with him.. But staying neutral always works right? I will let you all know "who I am" in a year or two.. it makes little financial sense right now, but Im in the 7-figures.. per year.. |

Re: What the hell is Wicked Pictures Thinking?
These days, for me, success is just having a good time, making enough money to live well and retire on, and that's about it. Ten to fifteen years ago I worked my ass off to build what I started, and I was quite successful at it. Since then, I have completely downsized, moved my own office back to my home, and just take it easy doing little odds and ends that interest me. I've never "talked the talk", nor bragged about the money I have made or how successful I have been. People that knew me back when, know I did well. I'm not doing anywhere close to what I was doing 10 years ago, then again, I'm not even trying to.
I'm the first to admit I just don't have the drive or ambition to be one of the "Big Boys". As long as I have enough money to feed my travel and sailing habit, and can retire comfortably when the time comes, then I consider myself to be a great success! |

Re: What the hell is Wicked Pictures Thinking?
That's how we got our start. I started my first BBS back in Calgary in 1988. Then had one in Nova Scotia, then hooked up with the guy running the largest Adult BBS when I moved back here to Montreal. In early 1994, we started playing around with this new WWW thing as we set up an early ISP here in Montreal and I had server space and bandwidth to play with. By 1996, we were pulling in over $30K a month from our home video sales and advertising on Carol's website. We started the actual pay site in January of 1997, and that took off far beyond my wildest expectations! It took me until March of 1997 to finally quit my Lead Engineer job at Bell Helicopters and start doing this full-time.
I really miss those early days when it was all so new and fun. These days, I put out a lot of stuff in mainstream for travel and sailing, my hobbies. Make decent money from it actually, and it keeps me busy. |

Online porn, chat lingerie, and sex toys I remember one of our network guys became one of the first ISP's in the area with a "T-1" line, and several shelves of modems. He started with 30 US Robotics V.92 modems stacked on those click lock bookshelves. Dude sold out a few years later to the local phone company for a couple mil.

Re: What the hell is Wicked Pictures Thinking?
I can beat you all! I shot my very first "Porn" image way back in 1975 when I was 15 years old. I took my father's Polaroid camera and took a picture of my girlfriend sucking my cock! I even made money from it, charging guys smokes and quarters (to buy smokes) to have a look. That made me a "Professional Pornographer" 35 years ago!

I had my first store at 9 years old. (1974) It wasn't porn though. It was toys and candy. (Ricky's Toy and Candy) It was a real store, built on a concrete pad, made from a brand new steel shed kit, (10 X 10) bought at JCPenny for $199, for which I paid "rent" of $10/month. Dad paid for the concrete foundation, which is actually still there. That was my first lesson in "free Publicity." Got a full 1/3rd page in the paper with two photos, and an in -depth "Business kid" story. Best profit? Red Swedish jelly fish. Bought 480 piece boxes, for $3.80 and sold them for a penny each from apothecary jars. Made $1 profit a week on that product line alone. (Big money for a 9 year old kid in 1974.) Caught the bug back then, and it never went away. Didn't start selling "tickets" to our super 8mm movie "theater" to the neighborhood kids until I was 12.

Re: What the hell is Wicked Pictures Thinking?
I remember when I thought I was on the internet because I was on a bbs. However, it was a swinger bbs and we did meet lots of people. Then one of them showed me the real internet. I spent 20 minutes downloading a picture and was amazed. Julia looked at it and said there's gotta be money in this. I borrowed a really crappy digital camera and proceeded to figure out how to get on "the net". That was 13 years ago....wow. A whole lot has happened in a decade
I made a lot of mistakes, a lot of great decisions, and a whole lot of money. What a ride. Happy New Year to the last men standing. |

Re: What the hell is Wicked Pictures Thinking?
I actually started with PC Board for the first BBS in Edmonton back in the mid 1980's, then moved to Wildcat when I set up my next BBS in Calgary. I much preferred Wildcat. I still have the original Wildcat software on 5.25 floppies!
I do have to clean up some of that old software. Anyone need an original dBase on 5.25?? |

Re: What the hell is Wicked Pictures Thinking?
They wanted what they paid Rick for it.
The amusing part is somehow it ended back up on the open market last year. I was approached to buy after its current owner tried to get me to help them run it. I made another firm and even more drastically reduced offer but they wanted me to pay enough for it to set them up in the teeshirt printing business. Hope that worked out for them because we looked at buying their paysite prior to it and it looked like they werent any better at running that than a board. I was pissed when it was admitted to Anton that the talent that was on the main site and who frequented several of these boards had long been gone and and the dude was just posing to squeeze the last dollar out of the biz. As I recall the teeshirts Nick ordered from them were somewhat halfassed as well.

There have been four different "Deb's" now. The original, then the first blonde, then the last brunette, and now the new blonde. Gets confusing for long time surfers
