Got my FSC re-up yesterday

[RawAlex]

Tommy, same deal as last year - $300 is not much, but for an operator who maybe is squeaking $1k a month out of the deal, $300 is a big chunk of change.

FSC would have the strength in numbers if their membership rates were a little more attractive - say like $99 a year or whatever for individual webmasters, example. I would say that they could more than triple their signups that way, and bring many more people into the fold... there is strength in being able to say "we represent 40,000 adult movie and internet webmasters"... getting the entire industry under that one tent would be much more powerful than the few extra dollars they are taking in right now.

but that same operator can just put the 300.00 on his credit card and send visa/mc 25.00 a month

the FSC has some good attorneys, legal fees get expensive real quick

if you tried to take on a case like this yourself I bet the legal fees would be 250 to 300k

this is a business and there are all sorts of expenses

a log time ago a friend of mine bought a deli
he took a loan on his house and got the rest of the money from a business loan

he told me that it would take him the first 10 years just to break even.
he gets to that deli at 5am in the morning and stays until like 6pm at night


as far as businesses go this is pretty cheap to get into and there isnt a lot of expenses
