Adult DVD Talk at your service. 6409 Posts 11/99 |  Posted - Mar 23 2016 : 1:41PMEDITED on 2/18/2020 because I bumped up this topic. -Drew This is an old topic related to a lawsuit that was filed against Adult DVD Talk. The lawsuit was thankfully dropped. It's been almost 4 years but the sting of this experience is still very real. Original post below.
Please click for info and to support our site. or go directly to our Fundrazr Campaign (please don't mention porn in your comments as we need to use payment services that don't feel the same way about porn as we all do.) I want to thank Bush DVD for beginning this fight, ninja1 for coming up with the hashtag #KeepTalkAlive, Gore Gore Girl for her great help with words, reviewers, moderators, sponsors, first anal enthusiasts, and everyone who makes this community what it is. Let's not let the trolls take us down! [link deactivated:Server error]IAFD[/url] - what can I say? So much support, so many years.

I don't have any problem boycotting these "celebrities," from now on. And, if able to do so without compromising your defense, letting them know why  Assholes. [Link] |

| Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99 | Posted - Mar 23 2016 : 2:31PM I don't know the real reasons why, but the reason the Trolls offered in their lawsuit against BushDVD was based on the fact that BushDVD's address appeared on ADT as the location for studios to send DVD screeners for reviewers. Based on this address alone, the Trolls filed a Federal copyright infringement lawsuit against BushDVD in early October of last year. BushDVD racked up many, many thousands of dollars in legal fees defending themselves in this frivolous action against them. A couple of weeks ago the Trolls finally agreed to dismiss Bush and name ADT as Defendants. As a result, we're now forced to defend ourselves in Los Angeles, CA. I would like to personally thank the owner of Bush DVD for standing up to these Trolls. He took on a fight that really shouldn't have been his to fight. When serious problems happen someone's true colors become readily apparent. I can say that I haven't met many people in my business career that have been as honest and ethical as Bush's owner has been during this process. Many people would argue that he had good reasons to throw ADT under the bus many times throughout the process and he chose not to do so. We can't possibly thank them enough. [Link] |

| Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99 | Posted - Mar 23 2016 : 4:52PM If your curious about how these Trolling companies operate I'd suggest checking out the forums at ExtortionLetterInfo.com Lots of interesting reading there. The Trolls usually try to scare you into paying them with an extortion letter threatening a lawsuit. We never received such a letter because they went after the wrong party. We became aware of the alleged infringements when the lawsuit was filed against BushDVD. [Link] |

| Canadian_Cindy Deactivated User 1102 Posts 2/15 | Posted - Mar 23 2016 : 5:20PM Sad thing is, with the right nasty letter, a lot of people would send off a check just to have it go away. Which, is what they are banking on all along. I will make a donation too; this is one of the scummiest abuses of a legal system that I have seen in a while. [Link] |

| FlacFan Deactivated User 10088 Posts 8/15 | Posted - Mar 23 2016 : 9:19PM This is correct. Fewer than 5% of these delivered to private parties are ever followed through on. Edit: Please tell me you didn't respond, by all accounts that's the worst thing you can do. Edited by - FlacFan on 3/23/2016 9:20:47 PM [Link] |
| BlackSix All-Star Member pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world 12377 Posts 9/07 | Posted - Mar 23 2016 : 9:25PM Doesn't apply in this case though as they already dragged BushDVD into court. Hopefully the judge awards damages and Drew and Steph get a vacation for all this BS! [Link] |
| AggieGuy Member 357 Posts 7/15 | Posted - Mar 23 2016 : 10:05PM The other was by Righthaven LLC, who was eventually destroyed and shut down due to numerous court judgments against them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Righthaven If there was never a DMCA notice given to remove the supposedly offending images, they are on very shaky legal ground. What they're trying to do is get some easy money in a quick settlement. There are organizations which provide legal assistance (at either no cost or low cost) for those being targeted by copyright and patent trolls. [Link] |

| Melvyn Senior Member 2797 Posts 12/12 | Posted - Mar 24 2016 : 12:21AM I wonder what Jules Jordan would say about it. He seems supportive of this place. It doesn't even seem like legitimate procedure. Shouldn't they ask for select images to be removed first? To jump to a lawsuit seems like scare tactics, or a shakedown. I stand with ADT. [Link] |

| fu_q All-Star Member Marv Montag (@PornOfYore) 2506 Posts 2/09 | Posted - Mar 24 2016 : 11:45PM Disgusting and disheartening that this would happen to ADT. This site has given me a voice in something that I've loved for longer than I probably should have--for years now--and it's extraordinarily sad that it would fall victim to such a predatory abuse of the legal system. Utterly nauseating. We're here to help you fight the good fight, Steph and Drew. Never surrender. [Link] |

| Mister Fahrenheit All-Star Member Meh 4655 Posts 10/13 | Posted - Mar 25 2016 : 1:29PM So what I've done is re-tweet ADT's initial tweet for the campaign to some of the forum's prominent and active pornstar/industry members. So for example my tweet to Mick Blue looks like this:  I think if lots of forum members who are active on twitter do this it would get their attention. Of course it goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway), be respectful and nice. Here's a list of some of the active members I think should be focused on: Sovereign Syre: @SovereignSyre Riley Reid: @RileyReidx3 Mick Blue: @MickBluexxx Jules Jordan: @JulesJordan Romi Rain: @Romi_Rain Veruca James: @VerucaJames Karmen Karma: @KarmenKarma Keisha Grey: @keishagreyxxx Francesca Le: @francescalexxx Gabi Paltrova: @GabiPaltrova Casey Calvert: @caseycalvertxxx Leya Falcon: @LeyaFalcon Veronica Avluv: @VeronicaAvluvXX Carter Cruise: @CarterCruiseXXX Bonnie Rotten: @thebonnierotten Veronica Vain: @TheVeronicaVain Vicki Chase: @VickiChase Chanel Preston: @ChanelPreston Penny Pax: @PennyPax Ava Addams: @AvaAddams Jessie Andrews: @jessieslife Skin Diamond: @Skin_Diamond Chris Streams: @chrisstreams HardXj: @hardxj Edit: Just figured out you need to space the re-tweets out, otherwise twitter thinks it's automated. So do it at your leisure and not all at once. Edit #2: If someone does re-tweet and show their support, be sure to thank them! Edit #3: Gahhhh, I inserted the wrong link with my re-tweet to the fundraiser page. I used bit.ly to shorten the link, but pasted the wrong link by mistake. My re-tweet included ADT's original tweet with the correct link so I don't think much damage was done. Still, everyone do better than me please.
