Billy, I have no idea what the legal remedies if any could be gained regarding stopping unauthorized free porn. I am surprised something was not done years ago but the thought of these tube companies standing behind the veil of user-generated content is a joke. Free sites are huge business for those that own them and steal content to grow them so i suppose it is possible that a legal remedy could be gained but that would have a tremendous cost to those brave enough to fight as the courts have not been overly sympathetic up to this point. I don’t have the answer but I wish I did.

Nick, of course we don’t allow those types of movies exactly for the reason that Alex B stated. I hate that shit as much as anybody because there is no willing participant on the end of the stick so to speak and to me it is a vile and disgusting thing to do. Same with animals as they cannot speak up for themselves so we agree on that. I make movies that create satire and parody elements of an existing show so my goal is always to get the look, feel and acting as close to the original source material as possible without committing copyright infringement. We are very careful with that and we always use actors that are 18 and over so there is nothing illegal ever taking place. I don’t think I am qualified to determine what is art versus obscenity because it is such an individual right of determination and each person should be allowed to make that choice themselves as long as nobody is underage, nobody is an unwilling participant, nobody is getting hurt against their will, nobody is getting killed regardless if they give permission and no animals are used out of context with what they normally do in their animal life. If it was up to me i would sentence and put to death all pedophiles, murderers, thieves, child abusers and physical attackers (and possibly some others) but I would have a hard time telling somebody that what they think is art is a pile of shit. I don’t want anybody putting up those types of walls around me but then again i don’t ever break any laws. I respect your opinion though and that is what makes this country pretty darn good.

Nick, I would propose to you that the legitimate reason snuff films and child porn are illegal is because the underlying behavior is illegal. It is illegal to have sex with a child, doesn’t matter if the child is willing. It’s illegal in fact to just depict a child in a sexual way, since the child can’t give meaningful legal consent to such conduct. It’s illegal to kill someone–doesn’t matter if the person is willing. Whether these things are art or not is really beside the point.

In other words, just because something does in fact qualify as art doesn’t mean it can’t be forbidden, even under the First Amendment.

But we don’t ban things like snuff and child porn not because we find the content gross–or rather, that’s not the really legitimate reason we do so. Rather, we ban those films because to make them necessarily involves the breaking of criminal laws.

And how about films that promote pedophilia? Intentionally making the girls seem underage and act underage and dress underage in order to fulfill sick fantasies that their viewers might have while their daughters are sleeping in their beds nearby? Or How about Kandi Hart stripping onstage in a BROWNIES uniform? I made her burn that one! Was I wrong to stop her from basically saying to her audience “Hey, I’m with ya! Little girls are sexy!!!” Is that censorship? If so, I say censor away!!! We don’t need to encourage deviant behavior with movies showing said behavior! I mean, Jeff? You wouldn’t ask any of your actresses to act like children in your films, would you?

Snuff films, kiddie porn, is that ‘ART’? What exactly defines the difference between ‘art’ and obsenity? Some could argue that the children LOVE what they do, and I have heard of people WANTING to be the subject of a snuff film! True story! One guy even wanted someone to eat him alive and film it!!! Is that art or obsene? What about the woman who kept calling Jim South asking to film beastiality! Do the animals REALLY mind? Is that ‘art’? Should THAT be legal? How about incest? ‘Art’ or obsene? Someone could argue that each and every one of these film categories has willing participants 100%!

SORRY Mr South!… No Disrespect meant… (I guess ALL YOU Adult Film People… LOOK & SOUND Alike after awhile and have SIMILAR NAMES!… hahaha)… 😛

…But I LIKE your IDEA’S Mostly and Enjoy your Opinion and your WRITINGS!…

And I AGREE, the TESTING… LONG AGO should have been REFINED by now… To make for a BETTER & SAFER work environment for EVERYONE!

Nick, lol I didn’t ever think you were referring to my company at all so no worries there. You ask where should the limits be? That is a fantastic question and I can only say I don’t have a great answer but maybe when somebody is not volunteering 100%. Listen, I don’t enjoy or watch the harder insane crazy stuff either but I think people do have a right to watch it if they wish. I am also pretty sure there are some church-goers that think my movies like Not the Bradys XXX are sinful and crazy because we took a wholesome family and now they’re all having sex. I have received threatening letters addressed to Will Ryder because I spoofed the Cosby Show. Should I be banned and have a limit placed on me for what I can create even though many enjoy my movies? This is a very tough subject but I totally understand what you are saying and don’t disagree I just have a hard time putting a muzzle on anybody that doesn’t hurt, kill or inflict unwanted pain on another in the pursuit of their craft and if we do limit them according to what is good for some, then yes that is a form of censorship.

We are going through a big transformation on how entertainment is delivered and the rulebook is out the window and although it is much too late to take back control at least it is for me, I do think that many have forgotten an old commandment- ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal’. If that commandment was respected we would all be better off.
