What are people afraid of? If the story is true, what will happen to the ones reporting it?



What if it's not quite true? There should be witnesses for the fight part, but I doubt Dion has let very many people look over the books (profit) and I would be very hestitant to believe claims it's a financial mess. It's been obvious from the start that Dion has wanted a high volume / low price model, and there's no reason that can't work as long as he can spread out fixed costs across enough product (again, something he's obviously been doing).

I'm also not so sure the distributors are in a position to push too hard: Dion has created strong brand awareness and demand among raincoaters, and a distributor who drops RLD risks seeing retailers place orders with other distributors due to customer demand.


Hoy,
It's cool to see you apply your Junior College Economics to this issue, but I think it's all a little different when you're dealing with porn.
I don't care how much market reach you're getting with your product, it's still porn and it's going to have a ceiling. This makes price critical. You also have ownership to consider in pricing as well.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I suggest you read the AVN article, Wankers article and then think about things for a while.
Once again, it's the porn business we're talking about. Not the Wal-Mart straight edge retail world. Your opinion would hold much more weight if we were talking about the PC market or even breakfast cereal. But we're not.
Who The Hell Knows,
