Oh how the mighty have fallen.....

The industry draws get rich quick seekers who are inclined to strip mine and grab as much as they can as fast as they can ethics be damned.

Overall it's a sleazy industry. Guys who treat it as a business are the minority. Even those with decent business sense and some ethics of their own often turn a blind eye toward the actions of others they do business with.

Governments are overmatched, anything they can do is too little too late and just ends up becoming cost of doing business if you get caught.

I like very few people who are in this industry, and have never hid that fact. Over the years I've just had to deal with just too many suitcase pimps, wannabe playa's, and overall slimy guys. That was the main reason we stopped going to shows, I was actually embarrassed to be around most of them. I've always quietly done my business with other people who do treat it as a business first.
