OGV Video Distributors
 

Can anyone confirm that they recently went out of business? I received a phone call from a store I sell product to and they claimed OGV lost several accounts and had to fold

Story about them going out of biz at www.avn.com I think it's been a few weeks now so you'll have to search for it.

Thanks .... one line of videos I sell came from them so have to find out which distributor the company will go with now :)

Well, I can't find it, and after 20 minutes of their stupid popups, I'm tired of searching :)

If anyone has a link, please paste it

I read it on some porn gossip site, OGV is out of business. Partners split up or something. Tough business to be in these days, i hear bouncing checks all over the place.

im looking for distributors

Partners breaking up? I was told they lost 2 of their distribution deals with major video companies and could not survive without them.

I tried to get in touch with one video producer who goes through them to see if he found anyone new but so far, no response.

robfantasy -- I deal with a lot of distributors -- if you need one, I'm sure I can help.

Here's the story/gossip. They lost the US distribution rights to Private Media's product. That would hurt!
The video porn biz is a disaster, only a handful of people who aren't also in the Internet biz in a serious way are making money.

Gotta love Dave Cummings. Somebody asked him why does he keep making porn flicks if the money isn't that good. He replied something like 'Great way to get laid!'.

Thanks for that , Mutt :)

I've been trying to reach Rodney Moore for 2 days about this but he must be on the road as usual. I know OGV was doing distribution for him on a lot of titles and I'm curious where he'll turn now.
