Major Adult Studios form Anti-Piracy Round Table
Chatsworth, Ca - Content producers all over San Fernando Valley announced today that they are stepping up to band together in the fight against piracy. “Illegal distribution of copyrighted materials has became too much to bear and it’s time to do something about it! Increasingly, dvd bootlegging, torrent, tube, and password trading sites, among other avenues of distribution are becoming plague like and will soon overtake legitimate avenues of content distribution if something isn’t done now.” Says Airek, Head of Internet Operations at Shane’s World Studios.
An industry roundtable discussion is being held in Universal City, California, where owners, distributors, and producers of adult content all over the country are invited to come together to discuss the issues. “We feel strongly from a studio standpoint that this needs to be a grass roots oriented, not for profit and piracy defense association built from within the industry. No one looks out for your interests more than someone that is affected by the same issues. “, continues Airek. “Having an anti-piracy association based and formed from within the content industry just makes sense.”
This roundtable is NOT to solicit donations, it’s to come together collectively to discuss steps of action. The event will be held at the Sheraton Universal Hotel in Universal City at 7pm on September 5th, 2007 and will be attended by the who’s who of adult production studios and distributors, legal advisors, anti-piracy advocates, and others committed to the cause. The discussion will address the core topics and proceed with the next steps in forming the association.
“This industry is deteriorating from within by other adult businesses supporting these types of companies in the form of advertising and financing. The history of adult is we don’t come together. We hope to change that and make us a stronger and more effective community. We must address these issues seriously if we intend to protect our futures.” says Megan Stokes, V.P. of Sales for Shane’s World Studios. “We’ve had enough, and we’re going to try to put everyone together in a room and hash it out on September 5th, 2007. This is a call to action!”
