You're doing nothing different than the people in govt. that want to sanitize porn. By standing in judgement of Extreme you've made the exact same decision using the same method that was used to indict them. "I don't like it so you shouldn't be able to watch it either." They sell FANTASIES, the same as everyone else does and if you're smart you'll defend their right to do so without standing in judgement. What if tomorrow the govt. decided that graphic horror movies were obscene? By your definition that would be perfectly OK, right? No is forcing you or the govt. bozos to watch it....they ordered it and then decided they didn't like it so they brought an indictment in some state with antiquated laws. You may not like what they're doing but if you don't defend their right to do so you're just welcoming the broadening of these inquisitions.Originally posted by Fletch XXX
Extreme Associates puts out rape and murder videos.
Thats not even porn.
Too bad they bring heat on everyone.
But hey, if you play in the 'extreme' side you are bound to catch heat. The SFV is filled with porn, this is the POPRN CAPITOL, its not going anywhere, the net is a different story.
These people were selliong rape videos through the US Postal service, far different then selling PORN online.
They Sell RAPE AND MURDER, its not even porn ;)
Call it cliche if you will but this quote is entirely apropos to the current situation. Remember what Pastor Martin Niemöller said about silence: "When they arrested the communists, I said nothing because I wasn't a communist. They came for the socialists and I said nothing because I wasn't a socialist. They came for the union leaders and I said nothing because I wasn't a union leader. They came for the Jews and I said nothing because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me. And there was nobody left to say anything."
Note: To make it clear for those of you who don't read so well or may just jump to conclusions, I don't endorse, condone or promote the depiction of rape or violence (real or simulated). I do, however, support everyones right to express themselves freely.

Did I say I had anything against "fantasy?'
nope, all I said was they were selling RAPE AND MURDER videos through the US POSTAL service. Which is FACT, and thats the issue here.
Use Fedex or UPS if you dont want problems.
This has nothing to do with my stance on fantasy, it has to do with breaking laws.
In North Hollywood ANYTHING is legal and NOTHING IS OBSCENE, but mailing that stuff the Pittsburgh was their own fault.

I wonder how this affects affiliates of adult sponsors. Generally speaking, I would think being an affiliate is the safest thing in the world since the parent company has to deal with legal problems. Any cases of affiliates getting arrested?Comment

So by that measure, if I ordered a copy of say Friday The Thirteenth and had it mailed USPS to my PO Box in Pittsburgh the distributor is just as guilty of obscenity.Originally posted by Fletch XXX

Your point is taken regarding mailing the stuff to that jurisdiction in the first place but the whole premise of this case is flawed IMO. Of course that's meaningless since the buffoons running the show make the rules up as they go along.

Fletch, give up.The same dinkuses that are arguing this thing as an attack on free speech (blah blah) are the same ones who would argue in court that the THREE cops that nailed them with radar units at 50 in a 25 are wrong. They don't want to take the time to insure what they do is legal.
Let alone smart enough to find out how to ship via UPS to a PO Box. ;-)
IF any of them were actually married, I wonder where their stance might be if their wife had been raped? Odd how that can change someones viewpoint. Eh?

I am always amazed at porn peddlers that are judging, sorry condemning their peers without an instant of hesitation .. and knowledge.
Fletchxxx, you are affirming that Extreme actually raped and or killed a girl and filmed it ?
You have no idea what in store for the next few years ...
The Rep are stuck with that gay issue ( mariage, sodomy, etc...) and cannot go 100% againt it without loosing the next election. By doing so, they alienate the extreme right chistians or fanatics.
Solution: lets show a bit of restraint on the gay issue and in exchange let's attack the " axis of porn ", the smut doers... That should satisfy the religious groups for a while and keep us the vote. it all comes down to business : be re-elected.
Ask guys like Walter ( CEO of VCA) how cool it is to sit in jail for a porn movie that you guys today would say it is tame....Last edited by directfiesta; 08-08-2003, 09:11 AM.I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

Shipping UPS or any other method might give them a little less fuel for the bonfire, but it won't save you from an obscenity prosecution.Last edited by Gutterboy; 08-08-2003, 09:14 AM.Comment

Is it a fully explicit HARDCORE video that is not allowed in that part of the country, and/or is Friday the 13th at the local video rental place vs that Extreme Associate 'Home Invasion Rape Murder Video' at that same rental place? One is allowed within the communit one is not,
So by that measure, if I ordered a copy of say Friday The Thirteenth and had it mailed USPS to my PO Box in Pittsburgh the distributor is just as guilty of obscenity.
here i can rent RAPE PORN and EXTREME BONDAGE ;) Its not obscene here, hence Extreme being located here ;)
And I dont mail videos to Pittsburgh.

Guys, I've been in this industry since 1984. So many of you are totally and completely incorrect in statements you are making.
You shouldn't even be posting legal opinions unless you know for a fact what the heck you are talking about or are an attorney.
Seriously, so many of you think you can't be touched, and you haven't a clue about the reality of what a US Attorney or State AG could do to you if they want to fuck you up, even if your stuff is less intense than Extreme's ultra hardcore porn.

Direct, I almost spent a few seconds to think up something to say to you, then I remembered you're part of that K-Bec group. Thought terminated.
Thanks Lude! I knew you cared! ;-)
And no, shipping thru UPS gets around one hole, but the whole thing is a 'On the Fence" area. Personally we wouldn't touch it. They have way more chance applying laws in this area than the mainstream adult world.

I know you really mean "simulated" rape, "simulated" murder and "simulated" home invasion right? I don't want to put words in your mouth though.Originally posted by Fletch XXX
what does THIS have to do with mailing rape videos? home invasion rape and murder videos?
you people dance around the target but never shoot.
It has to do with the way the govt. perceives you, me and the rest of us in this business. You think they really make a distinction between those forms of porn and something milder? If you do you're kidding yourself. The guy in charge of the inquisitions covered a bare breast on a statue in the DOJ...where do you think he draws the line?
Again, I'm not condoning Extreme's form of porn but rather simply their right to make it and someone elses right to view it (in Pittsburgh or elsewhere). You don't like simulated rape and home invasion? Great. Neither do I but I won't have the temerity to tell you that you can't make it, own it or watch it if that's what floats your boat. The actors in that video were just that, actors playing a role. No one was harmed or hurt while making it any more than anyone was brutally murdered and dismembered on the set of Friday the Thirteenth but since someone likes one and not the other, they call it a crime and indict them.
Yep, they got bad legal advice if they used the US Mail to send the stuff to Pittsburgh, I'm not debating that. I'm just wondering how big that other shoe is and who will be under it.

Decriminalized marijuana and legal rape videos.
There are no thought police, only girls who drink piss, strip, smoke pot, star in SIMULATED rape and much more talent.

here's the part that made me upset:
" Atty. Gen. John Ashhahahahaha promised upon taking office that he would crack down on the distributors of adult entertainment material such as movies, magazines and Web sites, much as his Reagan administration predecessor Edwin Meese III did in the 1980s."
why do republicans and religious people always want to move culture and society backwards?
i sort of understand what the current case against the extreme stuff is, but even if i don't like it i still don't think filming "simulated" events should be illegal.
someone made the point earlier that most horror movies show graphic simulations of murder, which is also horrible and illegal, yet because it doesn't have explicit sexual content there is no heat on the producers.
a bit of a double standard, huh?
oh well.
btw, how many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?

First : The government wants to win in court going after over the edge stuff puts the chances in their favor.
Second : Mary Buchanan(I think thats how its spelled) She is proscuting them in PA said we dont want to go after main stream pornographers. Why because they will lose. No body cares about John and Mary fucking or a girl girl scene not to long ago there was a obsenity case in some back water state and the jury said a anal sex video wasnt obsence.
Third: If you watch the Frontline episode even Larry Flynt says alot of these people are going too far.
Fourth: People say we are all the same who are you to judge. I am sorry everything I do shows human sexuality as fun,sexy and beautiful. Something I can be and I am very proud of. THe reason people do the really over the edge shit is money not artistic expression if you want to be way out front you are asking for trouble. Also if we were all in the food business and someone was feeding people crap I could have a opinion on it.
Fifth: Also Rob has had a big mouth in the frontline series he says come on come after me. He got his wishLast edited by tony286; 08-08-2003, 10:00 AM.Comment

Federal Court is a brutal place to be. I knew some federal public defenders when I lived in Jacksonville and they use to tell me all the time how demoralizing it was to defend a federal case. The feds have really harsh sentencing guidelines that weigh like a ton of bricks over most defendants heads. The feds then go to defendants and offer them deals for a fraction of the potential sentence as long as they snitch and testify against everyone and anyone. The Federal Criminal court system has become an enterprise of snitches, with the government acting as the chief pancake flipper.
Rob Black is a nasty big balls defendant, one that has a reputation for not backing down and willing to challenge law enforcement. This will be interesting to see how this plays out, as I would suspect that there will be tremendous pressure put on the Extreme defendants to plea bargain. Fifty years and million dollar fines are what the indictment looks to have a high end for them. Thats pressure to settle right there. Even if this all plays out good for the Extreme gang, this will be an incredibly expensive affair for them.Comment

It comes down to a line IS needed. Of course there will be idiots from K-Bec that want to cry about it, but one will have to be drawn sooner or later. One that will satisfy the majority of BUSINESS people not the greedy little sh*ts that should be studying their spelling books for the 5th time trying to pass 8th grade.
It will no doubt be the government that ends up drawing that line because people in this industry for the most part won't agree if today is Friday when they are ALL in the Northern West Hemisphere. Greed will always drive people to the end in alot of cases and that hurts the trade as a whole.
Does anyone remember back in the late 60's or maybe the early 70's when they forcast that TV would end up with real LIVE actual Gladiator fights to the death at some point... simply because they ran out of other options to draw the listeners? Some study or another was talked about in one of our classes on that. If you sit back and broadly look at how the World is going, what more would there be but to move on to that at some point?
People already want executions broadcast. They show torn up bodies or bullet riddled bodies on the every day news at times. Do we REALLY need to see that? I think once you have seen one in real life, which more and more of us see everyday, that mental picture isn't going anywhere soon.
How about the guys that served in the service? Forgetting the guys you shot or do you need a reminder every Weds night at 8pm promptly?
Or the women that were raped.... need to see a new reminder Fridays at 9?
Not for me to say where that line is. Bush and crew or some future admin will decide it. But remember YOUR freedom line canNOT cross MINE. That is the true sense of freedom. The government admin that does it will not be anywhere near yours. Trust that.<center><a target="_blank" href="http://dev.datedollars.com/index.php?s=signup&aid=535&cfg=aac"><img border="0" src="http://216.130.172.224/gfy/gsig.gif" width="490" height="100"></a><br><a href="http://dev.datedollars.com/index.php?s=signup&aid=535&cfg=aac" target="_blank"><b><font face="Arial"><font color="#FF99FF"> Buy me away from Slavedriver Smokey!<br>It's May Sig Sweeps!<font></b></center>Comment

Fletch this is not to defend simulated rape or murder fantasies.
But honestly it would be nice for the day to finally arrive that people can make a film that they like to include any story line that they wished it to.
Now let me explain what I mean.
It would be nice to be able to take any genre in mainstream film and when it comes time for the sex scenes to actually have the actors having sex.
I'm kinda tired of seeing the same old played out story lines in "feature" adult films.
Rich woman alone looks out the window and sees Paco the pool boy doing his weekly duty.
She starts to touch herself while fantasizing about him coming in and ravishing her body.
It would be really cool to see something along the lines of Caligula all the time, even a comedy, or horror movie etc.
What if you were able to shoot Friday the 13th movies with real sex scenes instead of simulated?
Now this is not to say they should eroticize the acts of violence, but real sex acts should be able to play into any storyline that involves consenting adults, whether that story line is violent or not.
I've never seen any of these people's work, and was quite offended by their attitude they gave during the frontline special and knew they would eventually get hit with something like this...but this is a dangerous slippery slope we're heading down here.For rent - ICQ 127-027-910

Psssssssst according to this article it's not just about sending these vids via the US Mail.
"PITTSBURGH, Penn. - Rob Zicari and Janet Romano, better known within adult as Rob Black and Lizzie Borden of Extreme Associates, have been indicted on 10 charges by a federal grand jury for allegedly distributing obscene materials via the United States Postal Service and the Internet.
Zicari, Romano, and Extreme Associates, Inc. were indicted for allegedly distributing three obscene videos to the Pittsburgh area through the mail and six video clips in various digital formats over the Internet to the Pittsburgh area. The tenth charge was one of conspiracy to commit the alleged crimes."
Six video clips were sent over the Internet to Pittsburgh. Stop the fucking presses....who let the Internet into Pittsburgh? They must be crazy to let that happen. I know the rest of us have safeguards in place to prevent the Internet from getting in there, don't we?
By the way, nice post eroswebmaster.

Ignoring the idea of "obscenity" - (since that is open to speculation and a long story which is down to a jury) - I think this is the start of more action by the US govt."PITTSBURGH, Penn. - Rob Zicari and Janet Romano, better known within adult as Rob Black and Lizzie Borden of Extreme Associates, have been indicted on 10 charges by a federal grand jury for allegedly distributing obscene materials via the United States Postal Service and the Internet.

The tenth charge was one of conspiracy to commit the alleged crimes."
The "easy" allegations are the transmission of material in violation of USPS laws. The final charge of conspiracy is the "catch all" - standard legal hedge-betting.
The background to this is at a time when VISA US demanded "compliance" and that anyone who wished to continue trading with them had to disclose a quantity of information about their companies and background - forget the $750 fees, they nothing in relation to formal charges.
It is also a time when there is a build up to Presidental elections.
I have little doubt there is an overall connection in this and looks like those who elected to "become legitimate" with VISA will not have a comfortable time ahead.XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment
