(Chatsworth, CA) The Animation Co-Op Defense League (ACDL), a consortium of Adult Animation Distributors & Studio’s, is pleased to announce they have made significant progress in their efforts to educate and combat the proliferation of web sites illegally hosting and offering for sale selling unlicensed content which is owned by the major Animation studios.

“Last year we collectively decided to group our resources; to band together and take the offensive against anyone and everyone throughout the world stealing our content”, said ACDL Director and Adult Source Media President, Wendy Crawford.

“We have expedited the process of shutting down illegal operators. By taking these actions we have received a tremendous amount of support from many legitimate web site operators, affiliates and fans. With the creation of the ACDL, together all of the US based Hentai distributors and studios as well as the Japanese production studios houses are working together out to combat this problem. We have already taken immediate legal action against those who are stealing our contentderiving revenue from our materials without a license. We all want to address this serious situation so we can continue to deliver content programming to the legion of fans who deserve the best entertainment available”, said Crawford.

The organization has retained legal counsel(s) who specialize in web piratingIntellectual Property litigation in regions of the world where the Co-Op discovered many of the illegal operators maintain operations. The legal team is acting on behalf of the consortium, strength in numbers being a strong factor in the partnership of the content holders and producers.

Said Crawford, “Every day we speak with web sites, tube sites, and affiliate programs who have knowingly or unknowingly sold content that they do not have the rights for. We have discovered that some of them were misinformed and want to legally comply with the Co-Op’s membersobtain legitimate licenses to resell the material.

Dear friends, clients and community:

In 2008 the challenges of 'principle' facing the adult online industry are fundamentally the same as when I began in 1999. In my opinion, there have always been two underlying considerations for every business practice: 1) is it legal, and 2) is it the right thing to do.

I had my own birth by fire in our industry nine years ago after purchasing a business that I thought answered yes and yes to those questions... but post-purchase discovered it was, as a whole, not legal and not right by my own standards. I made many mistakes but the long story short is I "deleted" everything and started from scratch as soon as I figured out what needed to be done and how I was going to pay for it during that, my first year of poverty and self employment.

As a hosting service provider MojoHost has a rich 6 year history of providing exceptional service, personal support and great value. We have certainly made mistakes over the years but overwhelmingly are proud of our service history and reputation for good business practices.

It is my personal belief, and now the official position of MojoHost, that tube sites whose business model relies predominately on revenues generated from the dissemination of obviously stolen content are unacceptable and we will not host them. Any sites discovered on our network that fall into this category of publishing a preponderance of unlicensed videos will be given 60 days to bring their business model into compliance or may have our assistance in choosing and moving to another suitable host.

Everyone has to do what is right for their business. This is simply our choice and it is motivated purely by what I feel is best for our industry as a whole. This proliferation of stolen content has gone on for too long and affected content producers and publishers in ways that everyone does not yet understand. I am of the belief that we will continue to see these tube sites legitimize their business models, and as each of them finish we would be happy to provide them with a hosting solution.

Sincerely,
Brad Mitchell, CEO
MojoHost

Given the smashing success of YouTube™ and other video-sharing websites, it was inevitable that the adult industry would see a surge of similar business models involving adult material. Adult dating sites, ex-girlfriend sites, 'tube' sites, freak sites, community sites – you name it, and users are posting it. This online business method seems to be the latest rage in the industry, with about half of our firm's clients looking to sue an adult tube site and the other half looking to open one. A major lawsuit has already been filed against the operators of PornoTube.com by powerhouse studio producer, Vivid Entertainment, asserting some interesting claims, including a novel take on the legal effect of § 2257 non-compliance.

Given the viral spread of this new business and entertainment model, it is important to examine the legal risks associated with operating a user generated adult content website, and consider whether the legal risks outweigh the potential rewards. This article will delve into the varied legal concerns associated with online erotic video-sharing. As with all legal issues, an article is no substitute for competent legal advice. Before considering the operation of a user generated adult content site, it is essential to consult with an experienced adult industry attorney.

After years of booming sales supported by videotapes, DVDs and the Internet, the adult film industry is being challenged by easy video-sharing web sites offering explicit content for free. "We're dealing with rampant piracy, tons of free content," said Steven Hirsch, co-founder of privately held Vivid, the best-known studio making sex films. Vivid once earned 80 percent of its roughly $100 million a year from DVD sales, but last year that fell to 30 percent, Hirsch said in an interview.

The Internet challenge, a topic of discussion at the biggest adult film expo of the year in Las Vegas this week, has already presented itself to the music industry and other mainstream entertainment. Much of the Internet competition for the U.S. porn world, largely based in southern California, comes from Web sites like Toronto, Canada-based XTube.com, whose format is modeled after Google's YouTube. Some of the videos on the XTube site come from commercial studios while others are posted by amateurs. "We're not pirates. We are providing a service that people think they can use to pirate," said Lance Cassidy, one of XTube's founders.

The web site has 200,000 free videos, typically 30 seconds to two minutes long, and about 1 percent of visitors buy DVDs or video streams, resulting in millions of dollars of annual revenue, sales director Curtis Potec said. About two thirds of XTube's viewers are gay, Potec said. "We've had tons and tons of people tell us this is the future of the adult industry," Potec said. "Most of the money is ads, on any site, mainstream or adult."

Scott Coffman, president of Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network (AEBN) in North Carolina, says his company started a YouTube-type site a year-and-a-half ago to generate revenue through advertising and drive traffic to pay-per-minute sites. AEBN limits free clips to three minutes. Users make about a quarter of them. "They don't convert that well when you give away so much. There is a fine line between giving away something small, a teaser ... and giving away the whole thing," Coffman said. He said his company has revenue of about $100 million a year and is facing a lawsuit from Vivid accusing AEBN of piracy.

Vivid's Hirsch says he will sue other video-sharing sites."This industry is going to have to get together and look at these guys that are putting out the stuff for free ... so they are going to have to get in line and start paying for it," Hirsch said. "If that doesn't happen and we see all of this free content out there, people are not going to be able to afford to produce movies anymore." Videotape, fewer prosecutions, DVDs and Internet advertising created an unprecedented boom in the U.S. sex film business since the 1980s.

Many studios post short clips on Internet video-sharing sites as advertising to sell more movies. "This is something we constantly discuss in our office. Is it too much," said Garion Hall, chief executive of Abbywinters.com, an Australian company featuring lesbians. Hall said only one out of 500 viewers clicks over to his site from free clips and of those only one in 50 subscribes.Some adult industry executives say a solution may lie in future distribution deals with big companies such as AT&T, Verizon Communications, Comcast, and Apple.

An Apple spokeswoman said the company would not comment if it had held past talks or was interested in distributing adult product. A spokeswoman for Comcast, the largest U.S. cable provider, said the firm offered adult content in its video-on-demand service but said she knew of no talks for mobile adult distribution. Sales of sex films to mobile devices occur in Europe but have yet to take off in the United States. "We won't make money through adult content," said Verizon Wireless spokesman Ken Muche. AT&T did not comment.

Jay Grdina, president of ClubJenna, a division of Playboy, says sharing previews is a mistake. "We're getting bitten by our own sword," he said. Grdina, former husband and on-scene partner of Jenna Jameson, one of the industry's most famous porn stars, said he has met companies such as Microsoft and Apple to seek wireless and other distribution deals that could allow easy downloads to devices such as iPods.

A spokesman for Microsoft said they were not in talks to distribute adult content.

"The revenues are massive," Grdina said. But "the biggest fear is share price: what are the shareholders going to say?"
