I know for a fact that they have contractual agreements with Vivid that prohibits them from using any material (in the form of “free clips”) for promotional purposes.

This is possibly the beginning of the end for AEBN, because I also know for a fact that Vivid is not the only company with which they have the afformentioned contractual agreements, whos material is also appearing on PornoTube.

However, word has it they are moving the entire “brewery” to a third world country, to escape both copywrite and 2257 laws. This, of course, would not protect them from pending or interim lawsuits, but it will provide a haven until the US feds do something about it.

Meantime, they’re making over $100M a year, so they can afford to do almost anything now, except maybe buy one of those “islands” in Dubai.

Whether AEBN has the right to claim that they can allow users to upload free Vivid content depends upon the exact terms of their contract with Vivid.

Good point.

It’s a big case – the biggest of the year – if it’s real.

I wish it were.

Too bad AEBN isn’t screening Mike’s movies for free on PornTube, without benefit of an AEBN contract. Then we’d hear some outrage. Or not. Mike and AEBN would cut a deal.

Where the industry is really dying is on torrent sites and through the free content studios and content producers sloppily float around to affiliates.
