After all, many user-uploaded porn sites rely on the “safe harbor” loophole in the DMCA that assumes that user-uploaded sites aren’t aware when their content is copyright-infringing. As long as these sites delete the content when demanded, they’re in the clear as far as the DMCA is concerned.

The twist on this scenario that’s been happening in the porn industry occurs on user-uploaded porn tubes. A recent Xbiz article alleges that some porn tubes are knowingly uploading infringing content (or paying others to do it for them) then removing the videos when requested. Once a video’s been removed, however, it’s then sent back to the upload department who re-uploads it. Xbiz argues that this cycle is causing the porn industry immensely. In fact, USA Today quoted Steve Hirsch, founder of Vivid Entertainment, as saying that DVD sales plunged 20% last year.

While such changes are affecting the industry, it’s important to keep in mind that not all porn tubes are alike. Yes, some porn tubes are allegedly uploading content under the guise of user-uploaded content. However, other porn tubes, like Orgasm.com, actually function under affiliate partnership deals. This means that 100% of our content is legally obtained through the relationships we have with the porn studios who created it. Just remember: not all free porn is bad and not everything you hear about porn tubes applies to us.

It’s been a bumpy road for Santorum anyway. First of all, the guy’s mental. Not like, oh look at my friend Tony, he’s mental because he just slammed an entire bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. Santorum’s more like the kind of mental you stay away from. He’s the uncle everyone has that spends Thanksgiving dinner telling you how you’re committing a huge sin by dating a black chick then gets blind drunk and falls asleep with his hands on his crotch, dreaming of free HD porn. He probably lets out a fart or two that smell worse than a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and you and your dad have the unholy mission of waking him up before he wets himself. Fists are thrown, usually after you take away his keys and insist that he not drive home because of the entire box of wine he consumed. So yeah, Santorum is mental, which is why Vivid Entertainment’s Steven Hirsch told Politico that Rick is “bad for the country” and that people “are more comfortable with sexually explicit material than before”. He’s right. Everyone loves porn. Especially porn from Vivid.

The Vivid co-founder and chairman continued with, “this country has some bigger problems that they have to deal with than whether or not someone’s watching an adult film on their computer”. He’s right again, I mean we’ve got more important things to worry about as a country than people watching free HD porn, like the Albert Pujols contract. If we people want to watch sex movies, who cares? If Albert Pujols doesn’t hit, it’s a huge deal. Wait, what are we talking about? Oh yeah, Santorum. Hirsch went on to say that Rick’s claims that the porn industry hurts women were completely false. “The girls run the industry, they’re the ones that make all the decisions,” Vivid Entertainment’s head honcho said. He’s right yet again, because if you think Lexi Marie is letting people tell her what to do, you are sadly mistaken.

As Pennsylvania’s favorite pain-in-the-ass Senator prepares to do whatever he does when he’s not running for president, (play with his jiggly ball maybe?), Hirsch is relishing in Rick’s decision to suspend his campaign. With Santorum’s exit from the presidential race the XXX industry can rest easy for the time being until Mitt Romney decides it’s time to take on Vivid and the rest of the free HD porn makers.

I think Keanu Reeves said it best in The Matrix, when he said, “Whoa!”

As in ‘Whoa, check out that ass!. Some pics released from the film show the barely legal Montana Fishburne showing off her booty, and I, for one, must give it a review of one cock up, way up.
‘
While some aspiring actresses get their inspiration from Meryl Strip, I mean Streep, Montana has been influenced by non other than role model for young sluts everywhere, Kim Kardashian, who rose to fame by being in a sex tape. It so happens the same company, Vivid Entertainment, that distributed the Kardashian sex-tragavana, as well as former Playboy playmate and Hugh Hefner’s ex Kendra Wilkinson’s infamous sex tape, is also handling the release of the Montana Fishburne video. So she’s in good company, you could say.

Montana has specifically said that Kardashian was her inspiration.

“I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape by Vivid,” Fishburne said in the press release.” I’m hoping the same magic will work for me. I’m impatient about getting well-known and having more opportunities and this seemed like a great way to get started on it.”

Her father, the oscar nominated actor Laurence Fishburne, probably wouldn’t mind having a word with Kardashian right about now.

Montana has not spoken to her father since news of the video was released, but says that she hears from relatives that her father is “upset.” Gee, you think he would have a sense of humor about seeing his teenage daughter show off her cock sucking skills to the world.

In response to her father’s potential reaction, Montana said “I hope it’s not hurting him. It wasn’t done to hurt him,” she says. “But I think it will take time and talking through the issues. Eventually, I hope he will be proud of me.”

Sorry to tell you this sweetheart, but you’re Dad is never going to say to his friends, ‘look at how well my little girl takes a cream pie, I’m so proud of her.’ Not in this reality anyway.

Hustler Video steals a little thunder from Vivid Entertainment today with the announcement that they have a 75 minute tape, shot as recently as this past September, that purportedly sports a bunch of romping with the hated reality star and an unnamed gentleman.

As an aside: the term “unnamed gentleman” really needs to be added to our current list of vocabulary words. And by added I mean, get USED TO IT folks. Seems that with every starlet who gets caught “off-guard” there’s a “unnamed gentleman” in the wings walking bow-legged because of all the cash stuffed into his boot cut jeans. And unlike the case of Kendra Wilkinson, I really wish they’d remain just that; UNNAMED.

In any case, there are a slew of photos circulating the interwebs showcasing the mother of two’s lovely attributes, and puts to rest the question of whether or not I’ll have to bitch about the release of this tape too. The pictures aint bad, admittedly. She seems to be an attractive enough MILF, with a sense of playfulness about her. Especially in the shots where she’s holding the camera (can’t say you didn’t want to do it, there Danielle). I’ve also seen the artwork so Hustler obviously has this on the fast track.

YOU KNOW WHAT SUCKS about all this? The more this shit happens, the less likely my wife (and the wives and girlfriends of you fine folks) is gonna be comfortable inviting Mr. Sony into the bedroom. I mean, I didn’t really expect it anyway…but it’s always been there in the back of the visual stimulator.

So thanx a lot Vivid and Hustler. You’re messing up my private stock.

The reviews I have seen already are just ridiculous. Seriously, you’d think we were talking about “The Godfather.” Don’t believe me? Here’s a sampling:

Writes Chris Sims on his Comics Alliance website: “For one thing, considering how good the costumes are and how new that footage of the Batmobile looks, this might be the first pornographic parody that actually has higher production values than the source material.”

Mike “The Birdman” Dodd of This Week In Geek said the movie is “Fantastic! I haven’t been entertained like this in a really long time. You nailed everything! It’s the coolest porn in the history of mankind.”

And, the créme de la créme: Paul Fishbein, who reviewed the actual movie on AVN’s site, gave it five A’s, his highest rating, and wrote: “Extremely well directed, “Batman XXX: A Porn Parody” never forgets that it’s a sex movie, but it just looks and feels so much like the original that it really works on all levels. This is a can’t-miss hit that should play for years to come on broadcast and VOD platforms and break some DVD sales records as well.”

So run out and get it today. Maybe I’ll see you at The Hustler Store, Hollywood.

“The parodies under this new imprint will pay tribute to the world’s most popular comic heroes,” said Steven Hirsch, Founder/Co-chairman of Vivid. “Axel already started pre-production on a parody of Superman, which will be followed by those of The Green Hornet, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Thor, and The Incredible Hulk. We made the decision to create the imprint after working with Axel on “Batman XXX: A Porn Parody”, an Axel Braun Productions movie to be distributed by Vivid. Axel truly did an amazing job with it, and we agreed that together we could mine the really rich treasure of superheroes and have a lot of fun doing it.”

“I honestly couldn’t be more excited,” said Braun. “Working with Vivid is an incredible experience, and with this new imprint I’ll have all the creative latitude to deliver quality productions that will appeal to the huge fan base that exists for these iconic figures.”

As an outsider looking in it would seem that the relationship between Braun and Vivid is a good one. This coming a mere week after the trailer for Batman XXX, parodying the 1960′s campy televisision show, hit the interwebs making it the most watched viral online today. As an aside, I must say that the trailer is amazing. I know it doesn’t mean much since you know I’m already a Batman lunatic, but I’m really looking forward to trying, and probably ultimately failing, to talk my wife into watching it.

Documents actually exist that layout the plans for Wilkinson to form a side company a year and a half ago, for the sole purpose of shopping the sex tape around to release it herself. It’s unclear whether or not that company includes her sports hubby Hank Baskett, who apparently is NOT distraught and on the verge of divorcing his new wife. Apparently the unnamed third party AND Vivid-head Steven Hirsch beat her to it, and she’s none to happy.

SUCKS TO BE YOU KENDRA. I now have no guilt whatsoever for what I wrote yesterday. Your manipulation of the system has backfired in your face. Good luck with that.

I will admit to being somewhat amused when she was a regular on the original incarnation of The Girls Next Door; the reality show that documented the lives of Hugh Hefner, Playboy overlord, and his 3 blonde haired, big-titted bedfellows. That show also featured Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, both of whom have gone on to star in their own assortment of E! malaise. That line-up ended the fifth season with the 3 girls moving out of the Playboy mansion, easily the second most famous L.A. landmark next to the Hollywood sign.

Since then I haven’t given a rat’s ass about any of them. All of the things that made the girls endearing on The Girls Next Door became the very qualities that made us realize how dumb, stupid and annoying they really are. Harsh, yes. But you tell me that you can now listen to Kendra “laugh” without wanting to punch babies in the face.

Some people can be dumb and make you think how cute they are. Not Kendra. When the show featured the creation of her theme song by Play-N-Skillz and Too $hort and Kendra proceeds to explain how “old school” and “on top of their game” they are, I could only reflect upon my years working in a record store in the early 90′s when that statement was actually true.

ANYWAY, Vivid has located an intimate video with Kendra and a, as of yet unidentified, sex partner (it takes place before her meeting and marrying Philadelphia Eagles receiver Hank Baskett) made prior to her moving into the Playboy mansion. If you’ve seen the E! True Hollywood Story: Kendra Wilkinson you can probably surmise, as have I, that this will most likely take place during her admitted drug-fueled days. Which is sorta juicy.

“Kendra Exposed” will be distributed under the Vivid-Celeb imprint and Kendra will join such celebrities as Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, Kim Kardashian and Ray J, former Miss USA Kelli McCarty, Shauna Sand, Mindy McCready and others whose sex tapes have also been released by Vivid.

“The tape was brought to us by a third party and after consulting with our attorneys, we are confident in our right to distribute it.” says Vivid founder and co-chairman Steven Hirsch. If you have any doubt as to Steve’s legal rights you need look no further than this.

So bring it on! If she can shut her mouth long enough to provide simple eye candy for the voyeur in us all then I may be a willing participant.

As I said (click here for the full story) there was no way she was going to win this war. If Vivid says they have the right to sell something…they almost always certainly do. But this just cracks me up. All the lawyers…all the threats…and what did Vivid Entertainment President Steven Hirsch produce? A signed release. Signed by MINDY McCREADY! Was she so high she doesn’t remember signing it…or is she so high as to think anyone would forget?

Should’ve taken the money McCready. We’re all gonna see you have sex anyway, you might’ve made some money.

“This is about the eternal battle between good and evil.” Says Savanna. “I play the glamorous and sophisticated publisher Pandora Phoenix, who also happens to be an agent of the Devil. She is truly nasty in every way and, of course, my character is wildly sexy and very serious about corrupting anyone within her reach, which makes her almost impossible to resist.”

The renowned original from 1973, “The Devil in Miss Jones” told the story of a thirty-something spinster who kills herself because she feels her life is empty. Faced with an eternity in Hell and confronted by the Devil, she is given the opportunity to live one more day and she chooses it to be a day consumed, engulfed and impassioned by lust. Well, wouldn’t you??

Other cast members in the new movie include Penny Flame (guess she changed her mind after getting out of Celebrity Rehab / Sober House), Carmella Bing, Rebeca Linares, Victoria Sin, Evan Stone (which I shouldn’t even have to mention since he’s in EVERYTHING), Nick Manning (ditto), Steven St. Croix, Tom Byron and Kurt Lockwood.

It is available in high definition, Blu-ray in a two-disc set that includes both behind-the-scenes footage and a bonus scene starring Jenna Jameson as the Devil and Savanna as Miss Jones.

Following in a very interesting trend, after Deep Throat and Neu Wave Hookers’ “re-imagining / reboots,” this is a great addition to Vivid’s unbeatable library of filth and fun.
