Ok, this question is a little different than the banned companies...
I did a search for a Sex-Z-Pictures title & when I clicked on the title, here's what I got:
"Title Not Available For Sale

Sorry, but All About Anal (Sex Z) is no longer available for sale on our site.
This entire studio has been deactivated because: Studio will not allow their titles to be sold on our site."
What I'm wondering is how / why they wouldn't want pornaficionados to be able to sell their pre-viewed copies there.

Last year, when, at Eli Cross' suggestion, I attempted to get my "XXX" copy of Corruption, which I purchased from an ADM dealer, exchanged for the original "XXXX" version, a Sex-Z salesperson accused Adult DVD Marketplace retailers are selling bootleg copies of their movies and refused to make the exchange.
Subsequently, Eli contacted the owner of Sex-Z on my behalf and got the disc exchanged for me. A few weeks later, that message appeared on Adult DVD Marketplace's site.

This seems to be a monthly question lately. A simple search would turn up a lot of answers...

I'm not the original poster, but I think it is a good question. Upon searching myself, I could not find anything.
I have heard that some studios do not like adultdvdmarketplace because legit versions of their products are being sold for lower than they would like and this devalues their product.

Has anyone here ever bought a USED car (sorry, previously owned for the p/c). I'm seeing this as the same concept.

The problem that many studios have with Marketplace is that there's a long-standing tradition of price fixing in this industry. Some studios think they have the right to call a retailer and demand that they raise their prices to a particular price point. They also demand to know where the retailer got the product from in order to be selling at that price. The assumption is that if you're selling their stuff cheap it must be black market product.
A handful of companies in the U.S. porn biz have maintained consistent pricing of their product over the years. You can't find their stuff cheap anywhere. These are the smart companies putting out quality product. The vast majority will sell movies to a large distributor for $4 (or less) and to a small retailer for $12 - $15. Then they feel they have the right to be pissed when those distributors sign up for seller accounts on Marketplace and move dead inventory for a dollar over cost. It's easy for them to put the blame on Marketplace when it's their own damn fault for cheapening their product in the first place.

Yeah but the point is there are a lot of us little guys selling there as well. More of us than distributors. I sell from my used collection as well. I can't sell my Sexz pictures there because of this. Not fair. It's not called "marketplace" for nothing.
