  Again, you make Mike's point even as you dismiss it.
  
  You say "make a living at it" meaning that it IS about money to some extent, but then why not make it EASIER to "make a living at it" by doing it the RIGHT way?
  
  Less work, more fun, and he can still do everything his own way, just make it easier for people to see/know about his movie!

  The only people who will know about the movie are those who see the preview clip or an interview.
  
  If he just released his movie (the infinite good) on the internet for all to see, he'd have a MUCH larger market of people aware of the film and thus a MUCH larger market of people that could be interested in the scarce goods he's offering.
  
  Do you understand this? It seems so simple.

  Re: Re: Interesting from an economic point of view

  Prices vary based on region and I'm not familiar with the Vegas area, but additional services are referred to as "upsells" and are priced pretty much as you describe.
  
  Please note that I do not know this from personal experience...

  Re: Seriously?

  Unfortunately, we cannot arrest and imprison people solely on their lack of intelligence, otherwise there would be no one left to watch "The View".

  I like to think we should sue God for making children age normally and not causing them to be 18 years old immediately after birth. Oh, and for not causing IPtards' testicles to fall off at birth thus preventing their propagation.

  I suppose the fact that she cannot physically lift her arms over her head because SHE'S 82 YEARS OLD AND WEAK doesn't really matter to you?

  Re: Re: Re:

  Actually, one cannot ASSUME the illegality of any of the postings on backpage. I'm just guessing you haven't looked at any of the postings. While they are highly suggestive of the services you might be able to receive, they are also very clearly not offering anything illegal (not explicitly, at least). Also, they are CERTAINLY not implying that you would be able to obtain the services of minors.
  
  More specifically, this lawsuit is about the forced prostitution of a minor. I believe we already have laws making every aspect of that illegal.
