DAMNIT - another earthquake!!!!!!!

3.5

that one had to be farther away though.

Yep felt it too!

well, at least you weren't baking a cake, it might have fallen in the oven. luckily pie doesn't have this problem.

how the hell do you even feel a 3.5? were you up on a ladder or something?

Wait! When was it? I thought I felt something, But a big truck went by the office...Hmmm!

Nothing this far south

Although if the BIG ONE hits up there, I will be rushing up with my camera to grab some photos, and might even try and bail some of you out.

Ok, the last few days have been a crazy whirlwind. Hundreds of ICQs, many many phone calls.

Now, with that said. This has already progressed beyond something that is ME/Shane's World oriented. I have the interest of many people/studios here in Porn Valley U.S.A. that are taking a major hit from the ongoing piracy across the world wide web. People who I thought would never talk to me about this. As this is a global issue and not that of California based producers, we will arrange a method for content producers and others that wish to contribute to be a part of the efforts of the association.

Shane's World will be making the first contribution to the entire effort by securing and donating the facility to have the round table discussion.

We will have Marie Callanders PIE. Cookies will be available for those who don't like. A la picnic style we would like to encourage people to bring anything that they would like to. This is a community based meeting.

This is the first in a series of discussions and structuring that will take place in a very short period of time.

The piracy defense association is a transparent, not for profit association. The books will be published for the public online and distributed to the associations members. A board will ultimately consist of members from within the industry who have a skin stake. Predominantly content producers and major studios supported by hand selected and qualified, respected members of the community.

This is a start.

To be effective we feel strongly that this must be a grass roots association, completely not for profit and handled withing the arena of those that are hit the hardest by piracy, meaning the content producers, studios, a license holders. The association is not a watchdog group. We've had enough of those. The association will actively pursue and return money to the arena that it was removed from. Not everyone is going to like the fact that this is not a money making venture. That's too bad.

The support that has been received so far is monumental. I am not going to get into any of the support offers or monetary offerings at this time because I don't want to jeopardize anything that is in process.

We feel that the only way this can work is if we do what other organizations have not done and show transparency. This is the communities association and no one else's, comprised solely of the community and it's counsels.

We encourage people to support a transparent, not for profit association comprised of content producers, studios, and license holders.

More to come....................

I'm working in the office next to J-Hush, and I thought it was a truck, too...

Really only felt a quick jolt here... even less than the last 3.5 that came from the same general area a month ago.

I felt both of those 3.5's, but I'm sure that it was only because, both times, I was occupying a room on the second story of a 2-story building.

That was a little OT

Felt it too, didnt realize it was an earthquake till people hit me up on ICQ asking if I felt it too lol

worng thread. misfire.

That's what she said.
