Lisa Ann Wants What Is Rightfully Hers
By MikeSouth
May 19th, 2015
I saw this and so I decided to look into it because several readers were asking about it.
It turns out that back on Nov 7 2014 Lisa Ann terminated her distribution agreement with Jules Jordan Video. The termination was mutually agreed on via email.
Lisa attempted to arrange pick up her existing product (dvds) that her company had paid for, as well as othe property belonging to her company including Masters of all movies previously distributed through JJV as well as all of the original model releases and paperwork for each movie previously distributed through JJV.
This is common practice Lisa Ann owns the titles pays for the duplication, packaging and other costs, JJV is the distributor who basically acts as a sales agent.
On December 8th: Instead returning her property Jules Jordan Video put it all on ?sale? at 60% off without authorization from Lisa Ann. In these deals the sales agent obviously cannot put the product on sale for any price other than the agreed on price without consent from the content owner, in this case that is Lisa Ann. It seems from where I am sitting that this was an attempt at retribution on the part of Jules Jordan because selling her titles in this manner devalues them in terms of future sales.
Last Thursday, after a legal battle, Lisa Ann was granted access to her product. She would be allowed to have the dvds, but not the packaging (even though she paid for the packaging it had Jules Jordans Logo on it.) She was told that in order to resell the product she would be required to put a sticker over the logo. Lisa was supposed to be picking up the hard drives containing the masters, the entire library of movies, the photo galleries, as well as all of the legal paperwork for the movies.
At the day of the pick up, Lisa Ann was not allowed to be present, she arranged to get a truck, and make the pick up. The hard drive was returned but not as she had given it to him, it was only the drive itself, no casing, no adapters or cables. (This also indicates that he may be keeping the original drive and was returning her a copy. Once the drive was accessed the following day, there were only movie files on the drive. No photos and no talent legal paperwork.
Jules answer was to attempt to ridicule her for not having copies of the masters, an infantile response reminiscent of the movie ?Idiocracy?. The reason Lisa would want the masters and the paperwork back is very simple, first it is her property and second if Jules Jordan Video is no longer the sales agent he shouldn?t have it at all, lest he do something scummy like sell it dirt cheap without her permission.
I have been in these type deals before and what Lisa is asking for is very standard for the reasons pointed out.
Apparently there was some issue because Lisa Ann was asking for donations to support her legal battle with Jules Jordan Video. Personally I could care about that, believe me if people would fund my fight against Mansef/Manwin/MindGeek I would certainly take it.
Jules Jordan has not replied to me in this matter.
