A major porn producer filed a lawsuit today against an X-rated knockoff of YouTube, accusing it of profiting from piracy by allowing its users to post videos that can include copyrighted material.

Vivid Entertainment Group filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles federal court against PornoTube and its parent, Data Conversions Inc., which does business in Charlotte, N.C. as AEBN Inc.

The suit is apparently the first of its kind in the adult film industry, which has historically done a better job than the major Hollywood studios in finding ways to profit from putting their entertainment products on the Internet.

ugh... what passes for porn these days... silicon loaded bimbos and rampant butt sex... let them slug it out. They are as out of touch with the average viewer as the mainstream.

talk about porn and stop pulling the right vs left thing.
why is the American public being torn apart by the media. when most of us all have the same basic principles at the end of the day. the extreme left or the extreme right is all you hear about. What happened to this country when we all started just hating the opposite party so much. it wasn't always like this. i wish 24 hour media channels would just go away. We need to be united instead of tearing each other apart like you guys are doing in this post and others. You have more in common than you know.
don't let the media brainwash you into thinking you have to hate the left, or right.

Actually the ADULT tab of http://www.channelchooser.com has the best porn. Loads of amateur videos. Even Grandma fucking grandson caught on cell phone video.

Vivid has a right to sue as they are one of the few California porn producers that are worth watching. Most Cali porn is big hair,fake boobs, and degrading to women. But Vivid is good stuff. The best porn is Evil Angel/Elegant Angel from Czech Republic. Also anything by Rocco Seffredi, John Leslie, John Staggliano and Andrew Blake. Action Girls is cool stuff as well. Might I also recommend some Tinto Brass for the tongue in cheek old soft lit stuff. And just a tip stay away from anything German. Those midgets are dangerous.

Porn is like window-shopping when you're broke.

the porn people will be successful where the mainstream jerks are blowing it because they tend to be flexible and innovative whereas regular hollywood jerks just get uptight and find ways of angering their audience.

My son is a computer whiz and after he got his computer science degree I told him the easy way to wealth on the Internet is either through operating porn or gambling sites. He chose gambling and the rest is history.

Frantically scrambling to try and ward off the inevitable recession, and all it will do is create even more inflation.
