With RLD & ZT stopping their licensing through Adult Legal we think a good step was taken towards stopping people exploiting the DVD industry by ripping their DVDs and letting surfers download the movies in high quality versions for money.

Still the illegal content theft is still alive: We still see a lot of movies popping up on Internet sites especially regarding PXP and Jules Jordan movies which are pretty easy to ID just from screenshots. The question is:

Do all these studios and producers not care their content is being stolen? How are they policing it?

What do people around here (and people from these studios owning the content) think about establishing a forum where offenders & URLs can get posted so studios can take action?

If a seperate forum is not the proper answer, what if these studios post email addresses we can email offenders' URLs to so they can take action and take them down? These thieves are earning millions every month out there with your content, forwarding a couple emails a week to your lawyer can't take too much time.

I think your forum idea is great. A lot of companies have an e-mail address dedicated to reporting thief. Not many studios (including our own) promote their thief reporting e-mail address on their videos however. The FBI warning is cool but A 15 second personal appeal would help fans like you help us.

The average viewer has no idea how small the profit margins are in this business. Every dollar lost to thief means a dollar taken from a new production. Thanks for your suggestions. I'll be interested to hear what the other studios think of your ideas.

Whom can I email when I spot PXP stuff on the web? AFAIK you do not license any of your content so any online use is probably unauthorized.

Do you consider granting licenses to websites? I hope not. Your stuff would start popping up like crazy all over the web & people start making millions with - legally or half-legally by bending the licensing rules.

Anyways... If we could at least get some emails posted here.. for PXP, Jules Jordan (or somebody inside EA who deals with copyright enforcement) & also Anabolic, just saw some Anabolic scene with Everhard & Angel today on a Deluxepass website. They of course 2257 labelled it as a RLD scene with is bullshit. I'd be happy to report whatever I find...

I don't work for Platinum X Pictures (PXP), I work for Platinum Pictures Inc. (PPI) on the east coast.

But given the responsive nature of PXP I'm sure they will post an e-mail address here soon.

For PPI you can e-mail reward@platinumpicturesinc.com

Thanks

that's not Platinum-X Pictures you're replying to, it's another company completely named Platinum.

post the URL's of the sites with the illegal PXP and Jules Jordan content. i know most of the thieves.

and licensing content is not bad, it's just another way to make money off a movie. unless the company has its own paysite(s) that they want to market and present to the public as being exclusive and the only place online to see their content, like New Sensations is doing, it makes no sense not to license, unless you're so successful that an additional 5-10K per movie isn't worth the time. done right, it would be a nice additional revenue stream for video companies. You just have to have a license that spells out what you can't do with the movies and what you can't do with it. All movies wind up on the Internet these days, hobbyists are ripping and trading DVDs all over the place.

No DVD should be licensed into an AVS aka Adult Verification Service (now known as an AEN or Adult Entertainment Network) for anything less than $2,500 per title. That's where the real exploitation is occurring.

hi,
i was suprised by the 'at least $2500.' licensing for AVS...
could you tell some other prices for ways of selling/licensing or any way to generate revenue on a video/dvd etc?
when the small producer knows all the various market prices etc there would be no exploitation.
you mentioned exploitation so it seems you might know something about the market.
