San Jose Mercury News reporter Chris O'Brien wrote the piece for Wired magazine. He's also working on a book on the sex.com case though that project now appears dead.
This Wired article was a major pain for Chris and I bet he'd be glad to wash his hands of it.
I hear the story has been pushed back another month.
Copies of the proposed Wired cover story have circulated around the industry for about a week now.
XXX says: "The article is not glorifying about Gary. It's slanted to make the industry look bad. It makes almost everyone in the business to be a scumbag. Aly and Kevin are not happy about it. If they print what is in the draft version, Kevin Blatt says he will sue. 'It's [blowjob story from Girly] irrelevant to the story and it is such bulls---.'
"Chris O'Brian really f---ed us good. I'm really shaking my head. This has been going on for about a year and I thought the guy was really cool."
Meanwhile, last week, Gary Kremen and Charles Carreon settled their dispute over Carreon's legal fee for the sex.com battle. Gary and Charles sat in a room for eight hours until they worked everything out and the two men are best of friends again.
