• On RAME the other day I saw Luke Ford published his latest list of "Ethics Ratings" for people involved in the adult industry.  How often do you see "ethics" and "porn" mentioned in the same sentence?  Pretty damn infrequently.

  
  

  I think it's great that Luke puts something like this together.  So what if it's subjective and you don't agree with every rating?  It gets people talking and thinking about ethics in an industry that sorely needs more of them.  Ethics do matter and those who practice shady business practices will eventually be sorry.  In the adult business, the consequences of poor ethics can be more than a financial setback, it can mean life or death.   

  
  

  Congratulations to the winners and I hope the people and companies with low ratings clean up their acts.  Smart people in the industry will pay attention to this list and think twice about who they work with.
