DVD retailers, I can take your customers...... - GoFuckYourself.com

I previewed the Jenna Loves Pain DVD and am deeply disappointed at all the website advertising that a customer has to watch before the movie starts. The advertising points the customer to www.clubjenna.com where they are advertising the DVD for $34 and had an availability date of August 30th. The DVD would not let me skip the advertising before the start of the movie and the movie didn't arrive at my location until approximately September 7th..

I really don't mind the advertising if it is after the movie: but, when it occurs before the movie and can't be skipped, I feel that it is a blatant effort by Club Jenna to take my customers from me.

If you want sell discounted DVDs by hijacking our customers on your copies that you send to your retailers, you should at least give the retailers some notice... Then, if I don't want the movie, I won't order it for resale.

I think this business practice is something we should address in a public forum as more internet content publishers are soliciting my support for their products.

As a long time (20+ years) retailer, I am very disappointed with Vivid's concern for my business' interest, and, truthfully, somewhat suprised.

What do other internet retailers and affiliates think about this practice?

just another nail in your coffin. you claim to support the adult webmasters by posting your FSC shit all over GFY. you take their money and then do nothing about the 2257. You ignore the xxx tld until it bites you in the ass and then try to post that you are NOW going to fight it.

You're a fraud, a liar and your only real concern is that the internet is stealing your business.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Redrob is not looking out for anyone but himself.
