"An Anti-Islamic movie is being used to lead the pornographic industry’s sheep to the slaughter
If you are a pornographic industry professional (namely a producer, studio owner or distributor), it’s imperative that you understand the following information… in fact your livelihood depends on it.
click to enlarge – Marc Randazza of Las Vegas, Nevada encouraging porn professionals to leave Los Angeles.
What’s interesting about Marc Randazza’s article and advertisement for his law firm, is that it’s glaringly clear that whether pornographers utilize Randazza Legal Group or not (especially those who may have takenMarc Randazza’s own advice to willfully violate that law and produce their content in Las Vegas), he’s in the perfect position to make money off of porn producers, studio owner and distributors via what I can only define as a “legal extortion” scheme.
Adult industry attorney Michael Fattorosi aka @PornLaw on twitter
To clarify in even more detail, I will quote a few things I spotted well known pornographic industry attorney
Michael Fattorosi (@PornLaw)stating to his twitter followers as of February 27, 2014:
“New copyright decision could have an impact on porn produced in California… Gives performers more say in how their performances are used. It now turns a performer’s acting into something protected by copyright – if – there’s no signed model release.”
“Producers have to now be careful how they use [and] title their movies and how scenes are used for comps.”
“I think it’s a rare situation but this can limit a producers rights”
“…not all model releases are valid. A model release can be invalidated. What if you are producing outside of Cali ?”
“In some ways this case makes it a very difficult situation for producers that are shooting in Las Vegas – for example.”
“Producers everywhere should have their model releases re-written to take into account the holding in this case.”
“If you shoot in a state where porn is not legally protected as in Cali or NH this decision could have a major impact on your productions.”
To reiterate, it seems what
Marc Randazza alluded to in his Xbiz article / advertisement, is that if pornography professionals utilize a “Free Speech” & “Copyright” specialty law firm such as Randazza Legal Group to re-write their model releases they’ll be fairly “safe” – otherwise they may be a TARGET of Randazza Legal Group (on behalf of pornstars who may become their client).
Again, is it just me or does this seem like a form of “legal extortion”? Or to be more blunt…a legal “shake down” scam?
Randazza’s article, from my perspective, states that pornographic studio owners such as the young
Mike Kulich of Monarchy Distribution (who’s known for creating compilation DVDs) and veteran pornographers such as
Rob Black of Extreme Associates (who has an extensive catalog which he still earns money off of via online distribution) alike may be at high risk due to something called “Actors Remorse”.
Nina Devon as Rudy (left) in Not The Cosbys XXX 2 – Does this character look like an 18 year old to you?
To further explain, Marc Randazza’s article reminded me of how I feel about my appearance as a lead character in
Not The Cosbys XXX 2, which was distributed by Hustler (Larry Flynts company). I was not aware when I signed on to do the project that the character of Rudy (the youngest daughter in the “Cosby” family, who was styled to look like a child no older than the age of 10) would have a sex scene.
To conclude, whether this situation is an effort to eliminate the competition for larger pornographic companies like Manwin, or is just a means for attorneys to make a substantial amount of money off the pornographic industry - it simply seems to me that Marc Randazza and the Free Speech Coalition are not only fleecing the pornographic industry’s sheep – they have led the sheep to the slaughter.
***Sidenote: “Innocence of Muslims” was reported by Gawker.com to have been directed by a softcore pornographer named Alan Roberts.
To reiterate, it seems what Marc Randazza alluded to in his Xbiz article / advertisement, is that if pornography professionals utilize a “Free Speech” & “Copyright” specialty law firm such as Randazza Legal Group to re-write their model releases they’ll be fairly “safe” – otherwise they may be a TARGET of Randazza Legal Group (on behalf of pornstars who may become their client).
