The question was asked and answered. This thread has no point. But let's continue our pointless internet chat drivel where no one can win and nothing gets accomplished. Because as we all know the real information must always come from AVN.

Yeah Steph,

I also find it very amusing too that AVN can find the time to make "news" flashes about ADT Posts, but they can't seem to keep fans well informed of Stars coming & going from the industry.

AVN keeps us well informed of ADT Posts, Bizarre court cases, & Internet companies starting up. Way to keep us well informed of the quality Porn news AVN.

Btw, did DVSX contact EroDVD and asked them what's going on? No they didn't instead they went crying to AVN and trying to save their face with lies about EroDVD running a scam!

Of course AVN isn't going to tell the people visiting their site about ADT. If they did those people would come over to ADT and would rarely go back to AVN. For every 1 worth while story at AVN you get 9 steaming piles of horse $hit. """"Today in Wyoming, A man who had his penis severed in a car door accident lost his court case with the auto company"""".

Ramsey, you're jumping to conclusions. You don't know if DVSX contacted EroDVD. And you don't know that DVSX contacted AVN. I would guess that AVN contacted DVSX. You have been unduly harsh to DVSX over what seems a very trivial matter. DVSX answered the question. Yes, the wording on the stickers added some confusion, but they made clear the content is no different. Aline could have checked before saying the content is different.

Maybe not so much a safety shield, but you are the Queen and/or Momma Dog of ADT. If we have learned anything about my posting habits. If 1 of the "Women of ADT" take a stand on something and I agree with them. I have no problem joining their side and coming out guns blazing. BANG! BANG! AVN.

This is coming from respect and I'm not trying to cause an argument. To me it appears the "Opinions" on the situation are all from the AVN guy. It appears to me that a few DVSX people's quotes were put into the AVN person's opinions to make it seem like they are either agreeing with him or that the opinions he is writing are their opinions. I don't think DVSX would blacklist a company you seem to hold in high esteem. It just wouldn't make good business sense for DVSX to do that. Who in the situation has nothing to loose from placing blame? You got it! The AVN person.

Trust the people we know from having been here. Not some Johnny come lately outsider(AVN guy) who didn't have the testicular fortitude to name ADT as the place where this DVSX film topic came from.

Much Respect,

Groovy AVN article, by the way.

Funny part is, that indeed, laying low is probably a smart thing to do for DVSX at this moment because in month or two, nobody will even remember this thread except maybe you and I.

Now, if I were in their (DVSX) shoes right now, I would offer us a dozen or two of free DVDs (black label edition) as a token of peace. Something to make us forget this incident more quickly and silence our demons.

Nobody here ever made any assumptions about thier intent. The only person making any assumptions works for AVN.

Of course AVN has people lurking on ADT. They have to get quality news from somewhere . They sure don't get it from their fellow AVN news people.

Also Ramsey, the more I read that article it appears to me almost all the quotes were taken directly from ADT. Very few if any look to be reworded as if it were from a contact between AVN & DVSX.

Something bothering me about this is AVN could have used their name & resources to find out exactly where the information got cloudy between DVSX & EroDVD which would have most likely put the hard feelings of this topic to rest, but AVN didn't. Instead they put their 2 cents in stirring the pot and offered no real assistance in bringing this issue to a conclusion.

Keep up the good work AVN!!!!

Zoid, I wasn't saying that I expect Ero to check every disc. Rather that the answer should have been 'I don't know if the content is different' because that's the case.

When they do it to my site that's one thing, but ADT? For shame!!!!

Doesn't AVN look down on anyone that doesn't actively promote AVN?

Seriously....Yes, but there is more. Someday when someone writes a complete history of porn, there will be an entire chapter on how the AVN vs Luke Ford battle became an all-out effort by AVN to discredit anyone on the web, site, newsgroup, anyone.

I had hoped they were over that, especially in regard to a quality information sharing community like ADT.

The amount of "navelstaren" exhibited in both the AVN article and in LOTS of posts here (meaning ADT in general, not just this thread) is driving me away from here pretty fast.
Time to go in lurker mode for awhile.

For those (like me) who needed a translation.

I hope that clears it up?

Perhaps AVN, since it is a trade magazine primarily for the American market, doesn't want to delve into the fact that numerous American porn companies shoot Euro versions of their titles, which are happily hawked on European retailers' sites? Or am I being too cynical?

For the record, the DVSX sticker wasn't confusing to me at all because the Euro-cut movies sent to me have always stated "European Version" or "Euro-Cut" with no mention of "not for sale in US" etc. There is nothing evil at work here with the two versions. Some stuff just isn't legal in the US. That is why the original question was a good one. The site in question clearly stated that there were things in their DVDs that were not available in the US version. DVSX answered the question and let us know that no such "Euro" version exists.

I don't think anyone is hiding that fact. If anything, the Euro sites should want to point out the movies that do have additional material not for the US for their customers who are looking for that stuff.
