Although I am not a direct competitor with Derek, someone that is should turn his ass in. Or better, a director/producer for what he has done to the market. Like Christian said, Derek singlehandedly raised the rates for girls across the board. Including girls that don't deserve those rates but in an industry always looking for fresh meat producers pay it.

As sales diminish, talent rates continue to rise disproportionately to sales. Derek is no different then the UAW. While helping the talent, he hurts the rest of the industry with his other hand.

Now let's cut off both his hands and see where the industry ends up. I think for the better. Rates for girls will lower and producers will make a tiny profit to continue booking this girls so they won't have to turn to hooking because less and less producers can afford to shoot them. This is a win-win for talent and producers.
