Hmm, Dylan or Hendrix fan?

Anyway, considering the ephemeral nature of most porn careers, keeping up with all the performers would be a major undertaking. While residuals might provide some incentive for them to let their whereabouts be known, I don't know that you'd get that much participation. However, I'm all for residuals if they'll keep Vivid from interminably splicing old scenes together in ever 'new' combinations.

Or maybe the performers could produce their own movies and keep all of the profits and totally shut out the capitalist producer pigs....who put up the production money, release the movie, and risk jail time, hmm maybe there is some balance.

No. When I pay for a DVD the first time, I'm done paying for it. If a performer wants residuals, let them negotiate that with the producer of the movie. According to Christy Canyon's book, that's what she did when she joined Video Exclusives and started "Canyon Video". She says that she got paid $10K per movie and $1 per tape sold.

Well you could start your own site, if you so please, that would perhaps accept payments via paypal or some such. Those moneys would be delivered to the performer when she turns in another good performace. (With the judging of which scene deserves the pay off to be done by a massive vote of all who put money into that stars 'pool') You wouldnt have to worry about keeping track of all the stars, as only stars that want to participate would, how else could you send them the money.

Problems would be if a star makes good scenes on a consistant basis her pay off would be very small each time. Also, not winning the pay off would be a huge insult and ego/self esteem buster.

And of course the biggest problem, Id imagine, lack of fan support making even the biggest pool rather small still.


Good thought, but no good way of implementation I think.
