Piracy. It is quite possibly the biggest problem facing our industry today. Sure, the current state of our economy has a significant impact on our bottom line, but who can honestly say that they haven’t seen their profits slip since the dawn of the tube site? You would think that such a huge problem would be met by a unified front to combat this prolific, money-depleting scourge. However, one of the adult industry’s most influential companies is supporting this out-of-control racket. That company is AVN.
Welcome to the PR Roundup, where we take all the Press Releases from the previous day, break them down, and give you the facts and point out the bullshit. And there’s plenty of shit to go around, since just about everyone in this industry is full of it. So without further delay…let’s get to the PR Roundup.
Some civil libertarians worry that Eric Holder will be inclined to continue the Bush administration’s crusade against pornography. They cite a June 1998 memo in which he told U.S. attorneys that obscenity prosecutions should focus on “cases involving large-scale distributors who realize substantial income from multistate operations and cases in which there is evidence of organized crime involvement” but added that “cases involving relatively small distributors can have a deterrent effect.” The Clinton administration’s actual track record in this area, however, consisted almost entirely of cases involving child pornography. “We continue to make these [child porn] cases a priority,” Holder says in the memo. Social conservatives often complained that the Clinton administration was not interested in taking on pornography made by and for consenting adults. We probably can look forward to hearing such complaints again under the Obama administration.
At about 4:30 p.m. Eastern time last Tuesday, the volume of junk e-mail arriving at inboxes around the world suddenly plummeted by about 65 percent. Confronted with information that one Silicon Valley computer firm was hosting organizations that controlled the distribution of much of the world’s spam, Internet service providers pulled the plug and McColo Corp., the hosting firm, went dark.

“In the Adult Industry the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups. The publicists who put out tons of fluff PR and the guy at PornNewz who makes fun of them. These are their stories.”

It’s like an old reel from the Keystone Cops. All the licensed talent agencies meet in secret and try to form an association to push out all the suitcase pimps and probably try to jack up rates for talent (all of the participants wearing black capes and long villainous mustaches I’m sure!!). Before they can agree to anything as a whole or find out if it’s even legal, they get outed on some message boards, scramble, and push out a half assed press release to make it sound like it’s a done deal. LAME!
Sex sells. As long as you don’t go too far.
Here is your typical family on the beach. Two boys playing in the sand. Husband and wife looking on. She’s got only about about 5 percent of her body covered in clothing. Exposed flesh reigns.
Is this porn? No. Read more
I’m attending a tradeshow up in the Northeast, and won’t be able to post a PR Roundup today. I will make it up to you guys tomorrow though. In the meantime don’t forget to add PornNewz on Myspace, send us that PR and adult studios would be wise to advertise with us for online and in print editions. Got a comment for me…email me and tell me whatcha think! If you like the PR Roundup, make sure you’ve read ‘em all!

Pornography in the workplace can pose a serious problem for employers because a significant amount of material is downloaded by employees during business hours.
Technology that claims to pick up traces of illicit images on PCs has attracted the interest of Australian cops. The software, developed in an Australian University, might eventually be used to screen PCs for porn during border inspections. Read more
Classified ad service Craigslist will crack down on postings advertising prostitution or “erotic services” as part of a deal with attorneys general in some 40 states.
The San Francisco business also sued 14 software and service providers, saying in part that they claim to offer help evading Craigslist’s rules about illegal activity. Read more

- Welcome to the first edition of the PR Roundup since our country elected a bi-racial, young man with a “funny” name as our President. Today, I’m a born-again American. Now if only we hadn’t passed all those gay marriage bans….
It is back…THE PR Roundup. The only site with the cojones to take adult industry PR and show how ridiculous it can be. We’ve got a lot to cover today, so let’s do this!

MONTREAL — In an over-the-top accent, one half of a notorious Quebec comedy duo claims to be the president of France as he describes sex with his famous wife, the joy of killing animals and Hustler magazine’s latest Sarah Palin porno spoof.
At the other end of the line? An oblivious Sarah Palin. Read more
So I had to make an emergency flight back to Los Angeles to restock my supply of Chocodiles. And as a result, was not able to get to the PR Roundup today. But fear not! I’ll be back tomorrow morning with a fresh new PR Roundup, and a belly full of Chocodiles! Word!!!!
I love it when people who know nothing about the Adult Industry, write about it!!!
The United States adult film industry produces 4,000–11,000 films and earns an estimated $9–$13 billion in gross revenues annually. An estimated 200 production companies employ 1,200–1,500 performers. Performers typically earn $400–$1,000 per shoot and are not compensated based on distribution or sales.
But the industry is a breeding ground for HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, and some legislators are demanding safer sex practices in adult films to prevent the spread of such infections. Read more
Not even the mighty Internet is immune from this economic downturn.

Happy Halloween, and welcome to another exciting edition of the PR Roundup. The PR Roundup is the most read adult industry humor column amongst males aged 25-54 who happen to be left-handed and/or missing their right hand. w00t!
Not Porn, but made me laugh!
She’s the girlfriend of Tila Tequila, so a lesbian celebrity sex video can’t be far off!!
(on a side note, did her parents mispell her name on the birth certificate or is it supposed to be a cool way to pronounce courtney?)

The PornNewz RV ran outta propane last night, so the furnace wouldn’t kick on. It’s about 40 degrees here, so with that in mind, I give you the “I’m Freezing My Ass Off” Edition of the PR Roundup. For this edition, all spelling errors shall be forgiven and in the event I actually become frozen during the writing of this entry, I shall complete it come spring when I thaw out.
