I look at it like, if the site is up and Live, then both parties will be compensated. I also believe that if the site is still up (dead or active) both parties should still split the fees coming in because one would not have one without the other.. This is where my frustration and disgust if you will lies with my poor business decisions with previous sites/contracts.. its disgusting seeing all of my hard work and nudity profit pockets undeserving .. Tis why ownership moving forward is only option for me.

I must ask, instead of making such demands as everything being in your name, how come instead, you dont simply have proper contracts in place that guarantee you your percent of net profit?
You have to remember, programs are the ones who make you well known, a hot interactive model helps. Programs are the ones who offer a rare service, theres a handful left who are capable, want to know how many girls would be willing to shoot nude photography? I have high standards when it comes to models appearances and it still doesn't take me very long of looking to find a new model. Photographers come to me with them quite often
Autumn Riley is one of the biggest models in the past few years, shes made the top 5 in a couple sections on missfreeones, she was the top searched on freeones for her first year. She hasn't been involved since before her launch. never interacted with a single member.
PrivateSchoolJewel ended cam shows, guess how much sales dropped, not much.
People overvalue interaction a great deal. I can understand why. But its simply not the truth, its a help. and not even close to giving the model the rights to call the shots and have ownership. given that the model could walk away with a rare service at anytime. a service that lasts the life of the models adult career
And without the marketing of programs, they dont even add you on facebook, twitter.
(besides the mfc visitors, who see you naked for free and aren't exactly the highest converting of crowds when it comes to paid memberships, more are likely not to rebill considering your on cam for free most days)
Those revenues you get on MFC, which you spend a decent amount of time on, doesn't even factor into the percent that the webmaster might get out of the partnership. So do you still think your interaction makes your part equal? Very few people and all models think MFC is a great help , like im sure you believe since you do it but most programs wont let their models near it. And definitely the ones i talk to who are still going strong wouldn't.
