The PUBA Network.
Thursday, August 5, 2010“Would you rather me make my own compilation DVD, or photoshop your vag into a disgusting, rotting piece of shit and sell it as a blue waffle? Because I have EVERY right to do both. You pick. And wise up… Take control of your image and capitalize!” Now… Allow be to explain what I mean by that…
I’ve sort of excluded my self from the ‘porn drama’ as much as I could these past few months, however something’s come up that I just can’t avoid touching on. I’m not going to get into the who’s, the what’s and the where’s of how it all began because it’s none of my business. And frankly, having been the hot topic of several one sided dramatic events, I don’t know all the parties involved to I’m not going to poke fun or take sides.
Most people know about porn networks. Duh. You know, instead of just one site, you subscribe to a whole network, giving you access to lots of sites for one monthly rate, i.e. Brazzers and Naughty America. Well, porn girls also use similar networks to host their individual sites. These networks being Premium Cash, Brand Danger Network, and, in my case, PUBA. When it comes to the girls’ website, basically, if you’ve got a favorite girl, you can sign up for her site and get access to every other girls’ site that is a part of that network. In my case, if you sign up for my site, you also get access to the sites of girls like Shyla Stylez, Avy Scott, Charley Chase, London Keyes, etc. Networks are always adding new girls, and current members get access to the new added sites as part of their existing package.
Moving on. When girls shot for their sites, 95% of girls will do what we call a ‘content exchange’. Basically, when I shoot for my site and invite girls (and/or guys) to shoot with me, I don’t pay them and, instead, they get a copy of ALL the pictures, ALL of the ‘behind the scenes’ footage, and a copy of the scene(s), edited or unedited, their choice. They don’t have to pay for a photographer, a videographer, location, etc. With the PUBA network, we don’t have to pay for a photographer or videographer… EVER. Those guys are a part of the PUBA team and shoot amazing content. However, I do pay for my own locations. So anyway, girls that come shoot with me (or any other PUBA girl) get FREE content… GOOD content, for that matter. On a day that would cost an average porn producer $10,000 in talent, location, crew and equipment, girls don’t have to front a dime!
Before these shoots ever take place, like any porn set, we all sign releases. Girls will sign our PUBA release forms, granting us permission to do what we wish with the content, and we sign the release forms for the other parties, granting them permission to do what they wish with the content. EVERY porn company has EVERY girl sign a release form, granting them permission to do whatever they want with it, which is why scenes that I shot with one company end up on a compilation under another name, and why scenes of shot for this company have ended up on late night cable under the name of that company. One you sign those release forms, that content can go anywhere. Hell, I could take the pictures from all the scenes I’ve ever shot, photoshop them, and start a site called ‘Blue Waffle Bitches’ and post the nastiness all over the web and they couldn’t do anything about it because they signed releases. Plain and simple. (If you don’t know what a ‘blue waffle’ is… Feel free to Google!)
Being that there are so many porn star networks out there today, I did a lot of research before I settled with my friends who were starting the PUBA network. PUBA has a lot more to offer than every other webmaster. Not only do they host sites for girls, but they’ve also got a cable deal worked out, and even a DVD deal, doing compilations for each individual girl using scenes previously released on her site. Like any other network, they take their percentage from my site profit, but it’s the same percentage that every other network takes. And, the profits from the cable deal and the DVD distribution go to me, minus their percentage. It’s MY site, MY cable deal, and MY DVD, all handled through one company. THAT right there is why I signed with them. Not only are they making me money through my website, but they’re constantly working on other projects to get my name out there and putting even MORE money in my pocket. In my opinion, you’ve got to be fucking stupid to not sign with a company like that. Why wouldn’t you want to make more money without doing any more work that you already do for your own site???
Now, after explaining all of that nonsense, here’s where the drama kicks in. The PUBA team has run into a few issues with people who ‘have a problem with’ our cable and DVD deal and think we’re trying to screw people (er, performers) by putting our content on cable and DVDs. WHAT?! I honestly don’t get this. There are several performers who will not shoot content with any PUBA girl because she doesn’t want us to release the scene on a DVD. What the FUCK difference does it make? Seriously. Somebody PLEASE explain the hold up to me because I don’t get it. Frankly, you sign that release granting me permission to do WHATEVER I want with it, and if you wanted to do your own compilation of your own scenes, feel free! Sell it on your site and make some money, hunny!
To me, it sounds like a strange case of jealousy from companies who didn’t think to produce and sell compilations for their own girls, and jealousy from girls who didn’t think to do it themselves… Or even jealousy because they’re stuck in a contract with a network that doesn’t do it, so they can’t make the kind of money that we’re making. Other than that, I don’t understand why a performer would be so against me releasing a scene on a DVD that was released on both of our sites months ago. (Does anyone have an idea of any other reason they would be upset of this??? Please, explain it to me.)
PUBA is a network that works hard to benefit the girls, and only the girls. The company is ran by personal friends of mine that have been in the business for YEARS and are only looking out for the best interest of the girls after seeing how girls get dicked around by webmasters/producers/directors/etc. Everyone in this business can see that the economy is SHIT and this industry is going downhill FAST due to tube sites… Why not take the content that you already have and OWN and make as much money as you can?! You have the signed releases… And you’re free to do what you want with it!
Would you rather me make my own compilation DVD, or photoshop your vag into a disgusting, rotting piece of shit and sell it as a blue waffle? Because I have EVERY right to do both. You pick. And wise up… Take control of your image and capitalize, ladies (and gents!)!
