Are there any adult dvd web sites that provide preview flics of the movies? I have only seen pictures of the movies at various sites. Is it legal to put flics like that on-line?

When i was at DiVaDee I approached the studios about providing movie previews. Some wouldn't allow it at all. Some said that we could use their existing trailers but that's it.
So if anyone is doing it - they're probably not doing it with the legal permission of the studios. I could be wrong and would love to see previews online.

I know that Excalibur offers on-line video trailers for some of the latest adult movies, but only available if you buy a membership or have ordered something from them in the past six months.
In general, it's legal to put hardcore sex and nudity on-line; most sites that do have some sort of statment that you have to agree to (namely that it's legal for you to view the content where you live and that you're of legal age to do so). Some go even further and require age verification (usually in the form of a credit card, since it's pretty rare for a minor to have one).

P.S. From a studio perspective, I believe that Excalibur uses the standard studio preview trailers (i.e. the same ones that are bonus material on DVDs). They also say they are the only website that offers the trailers from the top 40 adult movies, so they must have some deals worked out with several studios to show the trailers.

I'm not sure if Steph was referring to the legalities of offering videos of sexual content online or if she was commenting on the copyright ownership and licensing issues.
Most of the better studios (i.e. the ones with money and lawyers) try to protect their assets to ensure that they are not abused for the profit of another. I guess a better question is "have these places obtained written permission or a license to broadcast/distribute the intellectual property of the studios online?"
A few of the studios have very specific plans for approaching the web to increase their market share. Many of the studios don't have a clue and don't even know how to use email. Somewhere in between there are a few that might see some benefit to allowing their customers to "stream" teasers and previews of their titles in order to sell disks.
I don't think any studiose except for Vivid or Digital Playground have enough of a clue about the internet to be able to develop and promote a video-on-demand business model. This is obviously the direction technology is going and will quickly be adopted by adult studios then the market conditions are right. In the mean time DVD is becomming a very successful product line for most of them.

You know - I just remembered that a long time ago I was on Vivid's membership site:
[url=466354]http://www.vividvideo.com</A
and they had long snippets of movies. I watched 20 minutes of Country Comfort. I don't know if they still have this (and I'm not a member so I can't find out.)
BTW - yes I was talking about copyright issues.

Actually, I think Vivid has gone to showing entire movies online now, not just clips. I didn't have a membership to their web site long enough to see how many movies were available via streaming video or what the quality was like.

I don't know how much this help, but Private on their online store has free trailers for most of, if not all of their videos. I can only say about shop.private.com. I have no idea what are they offering at their membership sites.

Adult DVD Empire offers streaming trailers for 185 titles...you have to have an account with them to watch the trailers (for age verification, no doubt), but they are free to view.

You can check out the trailers page here.
