Good Porn Days Are Over

Michael writes: When George Bush get the presidential nod from winning Florida, and the Republican House and Senate all get thier collective act together. All porn producers, companies, Porn Stars, and anybody to do anything with porn even on the internet. JAIL time. First order of the republican businesswill be to outlaw PORN. Bush is gonna really retailate on California's liberal ASSholes, especailly for not supporting him. Save and hide your videos. The inquisition will be on with Trent Lott as the grand inquisitor. Porn people need to get other skills and the porn stars need to stay in school get an education or go to Jail. Remember this will be the first time in 43 year one party controlled the oval office, the house, and the senate. I believe porn hasn't been around or legal since that time 43 years ago -- the good ole times are back - stockades, electric chairs, KKK, lynchings, jewbashing, hanging porn stars, no interracial anything -marriage/f---ing, and gay bashing. Where will I get my porn from after Jan 20 2001?

An Industry That Plays Together, Stays Together

San Diego, CA, November 8, 2000 - In the wake of the police raid on Mike Jones' home property and adult Internet business, L & M Enterprises, in Illinois last week, many in the adult online industry have stepped forward to lend a helping hand to a fellow businessman who is currently under the microscope.

Following a few neighborhood complaints in the village of Greenwood, IL, authorities spent five hours seizing property from Jones' home in late October. While Jones has not been charged with any crime and no arrests have been made, the stress of the situation alone is sure to have a negative effect on his livelihood, as well as the adult industry in general. Jones has employed the services of an attorney, as further investigation is pending.

Greg Geelan, President of YNOT Network, Inc., an advocacy leader for the Adult Web and subsidiary of Flying Crocodile IncorporatedT states, "A terrible injustice is happening, and unfortunately this type of raid could happen to anyone at any time in our industry. An honest man is having his assets confiscated and his business interrupted simply because some close-minded people in his community don't like the type of business that he engages in, regardless of the fact that his business operates completely within the law. This flies in the face of due process and democratic principles." He also adds, "Mike's case can have industry-wide repercussions. The entire adult Internet community can benefit from a successful legal resolution to this matter." One of the adult companies offering support for Mike Jones is San Diego based YNOT Network, Inc. They have organized a legal defense fund, and several independent companies have already contributed.

To request information on how to contribute to Mike Jones' legal defense fund, please contact admin@ynotnetwork.com.

Ginger Lynn On Ebay?

Rob writes: Hi Luke... I was wondering if you could verify something for me since you are (my opinion) one of the most knowledgeable people around when It comes to porn stars... I was on Ebay looking for Ginger Lynn stuff and ran across someone posing as her? she has lots of stuff up for auction and even uses pictures that look just like her, (may have gotten them from the official Ginger Lynn web site? )

My main question is if you know this to be true? is Ginger Lynn selling her stuff on ebay? Guess my suspicion is that Ginger never mentioned it on the official web site ( where she has auctions as well?) Hope you have some insight to this.. I have always loved Ginger Lynn and would hate to have yet another impostor ripping her off and get away with it..

BrandyAlx1: In response to Rob, Ginger Lynn sells on eBay as gingerlynn1. Since that account is still active and well established, I can't see any reason why she would use another name. Ginger hasn't sold anything for some time that I'm aware. If he (Rob) can provide an item number for one of these auctions it would be helpful in determining the authenticity and notifying eBay of the infringement.

AltaVista Pimps For Private

From the Register:

Private Media Group Inc - the NASDAQ-listed peddler of porn - has signed an advertising and directory deal with AltaVista in a bid to grow its business.

In return for pointing sex-related searches to Private, AltaVista can expect to receive a share of the revenue if people sign up to the subscription based adult sites. The deal is absolutely massive for Private.

According to Berth Milton, CEO of Private, half of all searches on AltaVista's search engine are sex related. Which means Private can expect to get half of all the 50 million search enquiries made each day.

He added: "Private today has more than 1,000,000 new visitors to its web sites every month and through this alliance we expect the number of new visitors to grow exponentially.''

Mutt writes on Netpond: how nice for altavista. Let the FTC nail their ass. Go check out a Private site and see the shenanigans they are up to. RJB did NOTHING compared to their scam.

Johnathan Silverstein Resigns From Cybererotica.com

Johnathan Silverstein writes on Netpond: After serious thought, Ron and I have come to the conclusion that it’s time to dissolve our relationship as Employer and Employee. There are several reasons for this, but none that are negative or derogatory about each other. I want to reiterate the fact that this decision was made with NO malice or ill will by either party. I have ALWAYS had, and continue to have the utmost love and respect for Ron and the Cybererotica organization - but the bottom line is that it’s time to move on and involve myself in other projects! So, what will I do from here? Well, the original reason I moved back to L.A. from Seattle was to start up an Adult Internet & Consulting business…so that’s EXACTLY what I’m going to do – SALES, MARKETING, MANAGEMENT, NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, you name it I’m AVAILABLE! Anyone in need of these services can contact me at jons@jonsmail.com or you can reach me by phone @ 818-219-5773!

Cybereotica.com. owner Ron Levi responds: We were in the process of re-negotiating his contract and we couldn't come to terms. We're still very good friends, we're on good terms and we wish Jonathan well in his endeavors.

Netpond Controversy

My favorite webmaster posting board is Netpond, (http://www.netpond.com/msgboard). It's the only one I read regularly.

NetpondRadio.com gave me my first break into internet radio. Thanks Nick (owner), Anthony (CEO) and SykkBoy (head of Netpond media).

Today I received this anonymous email: "Netpond Fired A few employees a few weeks ago. Have you seen their official post? Thats right they didnt make one. Want to know why? Because they are scared about their reputation. They have not PAID any of their fired employees. One of the reasons being because they are secretly putting their money into a project that has nothing to do with Netpond What so ever. You heard about the law suits im sure? It makes sense for them to put their money into something totally different so they dont lose it if they lose the law suit. They are sort of in a Financial Crisis as well."

Netpond CEO Anthony responds: "Luke F-rd, I will make one statement regarding this. Salaries of Netpond Employees have been paid, current employees as well as former employees for the month of October 2000. My next thing to tell you. Ensure that your information is correct, before posting further defamations concerning Netpond on your Website."

Luke Gets Wood - Porno Money Laundering Bust!

Luke says: I told you there was organized crime and money laundering in the porno business.

Here's a link to the Miami Herald story today and some excerpts:

The former head of the Miami Teamsters union, his brother-in-law and a California-based pornographer are among nine people snared as a result of a three-year investigation into rampant drug smuggling at Port Everglades.

John Gallo, the owner of California-based Klimaxxx Productions, is also accused of laundering part of the drug proceeds.

Gallo, the pornography maker, hooked up with the alleged conspiracy when he and one of the other men served time in the same federal prison, authorities said. Klimaxxx allegedly laundered more than $1 million in ill-gotten money.

Federal agents arrested Lark in Miami-Dade County over the weekend. Gallo was arrested in California.

Also taken into custody over the weekend were: Larry Crenshaw, Teamsters member and Lark's brother-in-law, accused of laundering drug money; Ricardo McHorne, member of International Longshoreman's Association accused of distributing the drugs; Charlie Hall, builder, accused of distributing drugs; Curtis Newton, longshoreman's union member accused of distributing drugs; Lawrence Seymore, Teamsters member accused of fixing paperwork within one of the port's shipping companies; and Keith Lampkin, Teamster accused of helping remove drugs from containers.

Luke says: I cruised over to KlimaxxxProductions.com and found this: "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "PUBLIC DOMAIN" ADULT IMAGES ON THE INTERNET! These images had to come from somewhere, and there's a good possibility that "somewhere" a person with a bad attitude resides. There are groups out in Cyberspace right now, such as the WEB POSSE, who are looking for people running their copyrighted material without their permission. These groups range from the largest publishers with the household names, to individual photographers. If you are running material from the old sources, you are asking for trouble, it's as plain as that."

I emailed webmaster@klimaxxxproductions.com for comment and received this reply: "Are you a total dickhead? Get lost, loser!!!"

According to Network Solutions, the man who owns the domain name KlimaxxxProductions.com is Nick Eskesen. Network Solutions says: Eskesen, Nick (NE35) digitalx@DIGITALEXTRM.COM Digital Extreme 45 Beach Bluff Ave Swampscott, MA 01907 781-593-4010 (FAX)

But I hear that Nick now resides in California. His email address above does not work.

Lee Noga filed suit against Nick for copyright infringement in LA Federal court in 1998. Zmaster Productions vs. Nick Eskesen, and Digital Xtreme. Eskesen had worked in 1997 as the website developer for Noga's company Zmaster.com.

Roy Garcia Talent Scout

Roy Garcia writes: FYI, I found 60% of the Barely Legal Babes, and 90% of the box cover girls for all 8 Barely Legal Videos, the #1 Video series in America. I also found most of the girls posing in Penthouse, Hustler, all of the other adult magazines. Compared to your knowledge of the Torah, not much of an accomplishment, but, some guy on your site asked. Check out my site www.sstm.net and see who is currently repped by me. Oh, BTW I was the guy who plucked Casidy and Jeanie Rivers out of the Stars Cabaret club in Oregon. If any photographer or videographer is interested in hiring a model, I must warn them in advance, I thoroughly check everyone's references.

Black Cheerleader Search

Pat Riley writes on RAME: This mainly concerns one individual scene in BCS #40 but before we get to that let me just give some background about the series and the way I see it.

Supposedly it's the best selling/renting black series and it certainly rents well in my video stores. It's directed/videoed by Nate Woodburn, one of two sons of Ron Sullivan aka Henri Pachard (the other is Ralph Parfait) and distributed by IVC/Devil's Films. Videoed at Woodburn's home which looks like a nice ranch style house with a big backyard where many of the scenes begin, it generally pays lip service to the idea of having the girls (all black) audition for the role of a cheerleader--where is not stated--although much of the time this is just an excuse for the girl to do handstands and similar in their cute little cheerleader outfits including white cotton panties. Naturally the guy doing the interview has to check out all their body which leads to things like rubbing oil on them or wetting their tops with a garden hose, which eventually leads to sex.

The interview is carried out by the stud and is usually not the standard, "How old? Do you like older men?" blather we get elsewhere but just a good-natured conversation. Sometimes Nate joins in but I've never actually seen him appear on video other than the occasional hand to adjust some piece of clothing. Studs are the usual losers with a mix of black and white and since the girls are all black there's no point in investing in the "split the bitch in two" type scene so no silliness with abnormally large dicks.

The quality of the girls is generally much better than the all-black series from the other manufacturers except perhaps Freaks Whoes & Flows where they're the similar sort of just-starting-out females but the latter has the big problem of ebonics and a sort of sleazy atmosphere. Nate, presuming he's the one doing the selection, eschews the tits dragging on the ground, huge butts, four kids at home, scarred-up stretch-marked flabby-bellied Oprah look-a-likes in favor of the petite, small- or medium-breasted, wonderful little boy-like-butted cutie pies. This doesn't mean they're necessarily pretty facially but the lithe little bodies make up for any lacunas in that area.

As to the sex, no raincoater garbage here other than the impossible-to-avoid facials. No rimming; no spitting; no peeing; only the occasional anal; rare multiple male scenes and even when they occur, no DP. The focus is where it should be on the guy having an erotic--near romantic in one particular instance with Mr. Marcus and Caramel--screw with a compliant and willing-to-please girl.

Camerawork, taking to account the venue, is pretty good with lots of full body shots of the girl walking, standing, running around, and simply having sex. Not an excessive level of tight gyn close-ups and you do actually see the reactions of both the male and the female. The only major defect is that when you do have a close-up it's sometimes hard to see the girl's pussy and make out the details especially when they're dark-skinned and have some pubic hair. I don't know what the answer is here. Brighter C-light? With some of these girls the between-legs area absorbs light like a black hole (pun not actually intended) so I'm not sure. No orange cast to the movies that I've been able to detect but it doesn't worry me so I'm not the best judge of this.

And now to #40:

(Unfortunately Jaded hasn't yet put up the box covers even though they theoretically have the movie (incorrectly labeled as #39) on their website, so I can't give you a reference to photos of the girls.)

Nothing of particular note in the first two scenes except that we do see Destiny (first time I've seen her) in the shower after being screwed by Mark Anthony. God, she has a delicious little body with a flat belly, tight waist, narrow hips, and gorgeous little butt.

Then we come to Blossom who also appears in BDD #27 which I ran out and rented at lunch time today but have yet to watch. Blossom who says this is her only movie (obviously wrong) has the same feral look, body style and coloration as Rae Dawn Chong that voyager notified me about the other day. Facially, I think Blossom has a slight edge and certainly has better skin although it's hard to tell from a vidcap. Small tits, big eyes, outie belly button, tight waist, flat belly, no obvious tattoos or piercings, lovely little butt, jet black possibly shaven pussy that absorbs all light.

It starts with her leaning against the door jamb drinking a Coke and talking to Nate while Hardman sniffs around beside her like a dog in heat. She takes no notice of him and tells Nate about how her mother offered her cigarettes as a child and she went and deliberately banged her head against the door. I didn't see the point of the story and neither did anyone else except her presumably. She has the top of her outfit (Hanes) pulled up to expose her tits and by the end of the story Handman has his finger up her twat (she not wearing any panties). She asks him how old he thinks she is and when Hardman replies "18" she says that she 19 and will soon be 20. She tells Nate that including him--gesticulating in Hardman's direction--she will only have had sex with four guys and later says that she doesn't have sex often because that makes the girls lose their figure. Huh? Maybe she's not too bright and hasn't heard of contraception--later during the sex she, in an alarmed tone, asks Hardman if he has cum inside her--although at one point she uses the word "antediluvian" to describe a stuffed fish. She also implies that she's going to screw Nate after Hardman.

By now she has finished her Coke so everyone moves inside and while she examines the family photos on the wall, Hardman pulls up her skirt and shoves his dick up her twat from the back. She carries on talking, making no concession to Hardman grunting away behind her. It's like she's waiting for a bus. She tells Nate that his father is handsome and must have been a "chick magnet" but he's probably old and wrinkled by now. She'd date him! After some more admiration of Nate's own photos (Hardman's still grunting way) the scene cuts and she's now in reverse cowgirl, naked and still carrying on a one-sided conversation with Nate. She doesn't listen to "Negro" rap music--I forget why--but likes "Oreo" stuff and then talks about the antediluvian fish. By now we're getting some pauses in her monologue. Not that she's actually into the sex; she's just run out of things to say. Meanwhile Hardman is starting up with "My god you have a tight pussy. Oh, it's so wet. That's it. Clench it for me. Use those muscles." I suppose he was trying to work himself up and not loose his hard-on.

He gets her to turn around to cowgirl which she does (not a noise from her) and then they go to piledriver about which she says "You're killing me; you're breaking my neck." and a bit later "s---, he rained on me" meaning some of Hardman sweat fell on her face. On to missionary. They must have kissed (cut) because he goes to kiss her again and she pulls her face away saying that he "smells of drugs." Then on to doggie with her flat on her front and she moans about Hardman's toenails and how he scratched her. Toenails? He tries to stick his finger up her asshole and that results in his hand being slapped away but finally he cums (quite a lot for Hardman) on her butt and it drips down into her pussy. They cut almost immediately. Note that there's absolutely no oral sex either way in the whole performance.

Wow! What a scene! This, guys, is the real porno sex scene, stripped of all the bulls--- fake moans and groans. Hardman is a repulsive creature so she's simply showing how little interest she has in screwing him. It's just "rent a vagina" for the necessary amount of time. Watch it and then watch your favorite slut-du-jour--maybe Jenna Jameson doing T.T. Boy--and remember everything you see is fake!

Dr William Pierce's Rantings

William Phillips writes: Dr William Pierce labours under several delusions about the disappearance of Lucie Blackman and about Britain.

Lucie wasn't a high-priced hooker; she was a hostess in a club hustling for high-priced drinks, and going no further. Lots of smart white chicks exploit the timorous, law-abiding Jap businessman in this fashion. Miss Blackman was an air stewardess who took the job while she considered a change of career. Her father is not a multi-millionaire real estate developer but a small-time divorced guy who lives in an apartment in the cheapest district of Southern England. Instead of hiring a flock of private investigators to hunt for Lucie in Tokyo, he is doing it on his own with Lucie's younger sister- handing out fliers on street corners.

Tell the phoney Fuhrer that Britain is NOT more PC about race than the States. We abolished the slave trade and freed our own. Descendants of slaves here today are here by choice, with a positive attitude. Thanks to tight immigration rules they are rapidly assimilating and miscegenating themselves out of existence (like the Jews in Germany until that idiotic Austrian semi-Slav interloper Adolf stirred the pot). Britain doesn't have affirmative action, race norming and all the other devices for giving low-IQ negroids a better than even crack at schooling or employment. We don't have 'speech codes' either. Yes, there are anti-discrimination laws but they are slackly enforced. The misplaced guilt and dishonesty about racial differences which terrorises middle class America into hypocritical silence mystifies Brits. We don't bow down to hustlers and shakedown artistes such as Foxman and Jesse Jackson, whose equivalents barely exist in the UK. When a violent crime is committed, the black suspect's race is not buried by the media. We don't have a press and broadcasting business dominated by the members of one particular tribe, either: the 'State control' you Yanks superstitiously dread has produced, in the BBC, the world's most admired TV and radio, run by gentiles.

So tell your boondocks Nazis to stop insulting America's Mother Country, who taught you your language and everything you have forgotten about freedom under law. And remind your Jewish porn readers which country fought on alone in 1940-41 while the States skulked on the sidelines!

Peppy writes: Regarding Britain; No we can not forget that Britain stood alone, anymore than we can forget that it was through Churchills treachery, and the loss of innocent life that the US became involved in the conflict.It is Britain who forgets, the dozens of times she asked for foreign aid, calls which never went unheeded even as plans for allowing the Lusitania to die went forward. It is Britain who forgets, that far from proving the US false as was her intention, she has proven that the US had only the safety and sovereignty of the allied nations at heart when fighting, fighting which went on in the trenches unheralded and without glory. It is Britain who forgets that it was she who published the Churchill documents proving beyond any doubt the truth of the conspiracy. It is Britain who forgets that, even though the US has her at an extreme disadvantage and could at will respond in kind, the US has chosen peace and diplomacy remembering the long friendship. It is Britain who has forgotten all the words she has published about strength and responsibility, as it is Britain who forgets that the approriate response is simply, *We were wrong, and we are sorry*

Although what this has to do with porn, I have no idea. Except that theres no doubt about British chicks having nice arses. I think it's an Island thing:-)

Luke Gets Mail

Devin writes: i've heard/read so many negative things about "Rocco Shiffreddi", but i have to say, from a woman's point of view, i very much so enjoy his performance. he's such an animal, very handsome, and comes across to me as such a manly man. i've also read that he is hiv positive, is this true, or just another rumor?

Luke says: Just another rumor.

Mike@Silvercash.com writes on WebOverdrive.com: Gi Gi: Luke F-rd is and has been a wanna be porn star. He is a follower of porn stars and could easily been called a groupie in past years. He has been writing false statements regarding many pornstars, established business men, and innocent people by printing rumors that he heard or made up and by taking everyones words by context and putting them into his own words to stir up trouble. Luke F-rd is not good for this industry or anyone in it. He is here to cause trouble and thats it! I cant remember a time when someone has ever said Luke helped them with something. All I ever hear is how Luke talked with them and then said they said something completely different on his website. He has no business on the boards as this is a place of business not a pornstar groupie board.

Hot Mop writes: Luke, I'm a bit disappointed. Here's the reason. I win the contest over at Netpond radio for the best cutdown and I get nothing on your site! Damn, just when I thought I might become a somebody....nothing! Oh well, at least I get the $500.

"Luke is a great guy, he has a contraceptive personality." I thought it was quite classy! And for that I win $500.

Steve Seidman from Adult Stars Magazine writes: LUKE. Florida will determine who our next prez is, that's scary. The antiquated ballot system where many voters in Palm Beach voted for Buchanan rather than Gore because they were to old to see the name and made the wrong punch. The Dade Spanish speaking voters who just didn't understand the ballot and the rednecks who have progress through the Florida educational system. This should be real interesting. Well hopefully after recount which could take up to ten days the people in this state will make the right choice, Gore. If not the adult business may have to stay in low profile,HA,HA.

She Doesn't Look Like One

From PageSix.com: Like a what? DID Chelsea Clinton yell, "I feel like a porn star!" as she posed for a photo with her debauched dad? That was the bizarre quote attributed to the First Daughter by Associated Press reporter Verena Dobnik in a story filed yesterday morning after the Clintons voted in Chappaqua. By 9:51 a.m., the red-faced wire service ran a correction, saying the ribald remark had come from one of the women wearing Hillary masks who had posed with Bill, Hillary and Chelsea. The story added, "The president winced. It was unclear whether Hillary heard the remark." A chastened Dobnik told PAGE SIX: "Several photographers, including ours, thought they heard Chelsea say it, but apparently someone standing next to her said it."

Kendra Jade - A Brothel Patron Speaks Out

Derek J. Aug-06, 05:34 PM (PST) 4. "RE: Porn Stars at MLBR" Hello JMB, Great new board here! I have partied with Kendra Jade at MLBR last August. She starts out at a $1000.00/negotiable for the hour. ( Could we list prices here? )Talked her down a little.

She gives a great party if you like 'Porn Star' sex (raw, uninhibited, and wet; you've got to experience it to know what I mean.) I heard Sunset Thomas starts out at $2,500/negotiable. An friend of mine got her down to $1,500.00. I think that's still outrageous, but if you've got the money, more power to you! I just picked up a copy of Spectator magazine. Moonlight Bunny Ranch runs an ad with the most current porn stars visiting next week: J.R. Carrington, Capri Cameron, Madison.

This Madison is another 'Madison' unlike 'Madison Avenue.' I've seen Madison's videos, and she is HOT; dark-haired brunette, enhanced, tongue-pierced. (You may have to call for times. I almost went to see Samantha Strong months ago, but she didn't make it to the BunnyRanch until one week later!)

And this brings me to this questions: Has anyone partied with Capri Cameron? This 19 year old babe has got me hot for my visit next week! Thanks, Derek J. Click here: NV Brothels Discussion Forum - "Porn Stars at MLBR"

Porn & Customers

Pat Riley writes on RAME: I can just see it now: John Doe to amazon.com's customer service or webmaster: "I don't really like the design of your website. There are too many clicks to get to the book title I want to buy."

Amazon replies in the same manner as [porner] mojo: "Too bad buddy. If you don't like our website, don't visit us."

Yeah, right! Is it any wonder the porn industry has such a terrible reputation? I'm sure Tal can organize a blood drive or something similar to make us feel all warm and fuzzy about these creeps.

Willie Wanker In The Fudge Packing Factory

Slain Wayne writes on RAME:

IS Willy Wanker and the fudge packing factory an adult video? Because I was just thinking of making it, two weeks ago with Brandon Irons playing Willy Wanker. I already make Terrors from the Clit #2. It would of originally been titled Tales from the Clit but thats already been made. If not I'll continue to plan for Willy Wankers, or Wanking and the Fudge packing Factory. But I need to know, if anyone can help...plus get credit in the video.

Pat Riley replies: Yikes! Before you choose your next title (any title), you might consider checking with the iafd (see below the signature). In this particular case Willie Wanker At The Fudge Packing Factory is a 1995 Fat Dog movie with Jeanna Fine and Steve Hatcher. If you have any control over the girls' stage names, you might consider following a similar procedure. internet adult film database at http://www.iafd.com

EBay Copyright Problems

Apu writes: Good evening Mr. Ford. In light of eBay's upcoming porn ban, would you be interested in seeing one of the reasons for it? A seller who has been reported to eBay time and time again for selling dubs and they do nothing since they're making $ off it they don't care.

Take a look at this seller at this URL. They're not in the adult section, so you can view them easily. This guy must've had at least 15 different accounts. and if you e-mail and ask if it's a homemade compilation he'll tell you yes. http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&userid=virtual-encou nters&include=0&since=1&sort=2&rows=25

eBay simply doesn't care. They won't shut any copyright violation stuff down unless it says the word "copy" or "dub" in the description. A few months ago I reported a music CD, where the seller said it was a CD-R recording. They said that wasn't enough proof that it was a copyright violation. Nothing. I've tried reporting the various CD compilations, be it Jenna, Kelly O'Dell, the Virtual Sex series selling for $5 each, or even nude Hollywood actress compilations. Like this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=490180256

They won't acknowledge the fact that there is no sort of CD compilation legally made for anyone. Looking for a complete run of a TV show? No problem. Found vary easily. As long as they get the buck they don't care, and claim they're only a venue.

Ok, I'm assuming you're registered on eBay. You'll need to have a creditcard on file with them so you can enter the Adult only section where they force all the "evil" porno.

Here's a URL for the seller's current auctions. His username is "Viperone" he's got about a dozen movies total he just sell's over and over. His feedback is private, which mean's it's full of bad comments and no one can see exactly what those comments are.

http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&userid=viperone&comp leted=0&sort=0&since=-1

Here's a URL for everything he's sold in the last month.

http://cgi6.ebay.com/awcgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewListedItems&userid=viperone&include=0&since=30&sort=2&rows=25

Among the movies you can see, he's also had Conquest, Torn, White Lightning, Jenna's Dreamquest (or whatever it was called), Marilyn Chamber's terrible comeback move who's name I forget and more. He won't answer any e-mails about the movies sent to his e-mail address, only to the address he has in his description. eBay's been told about him before but they don't do anything.

BrandyAlx1: eBay is not banning porn. I had a rather lengthy email exchange with staff members about it and what they are doing is opening a search engine in the "Mature Audiences" area and putting in place restriction on they way adult items can be listed. I provided a number of sample descriptions and while I couldn't put "porn" or "xxx" in the title of the auction, I could put it in the description as long as it is not gratiuitously graphic, i.e., "Hottest porn sluts taking it up the poop chute in the best XXX action available on DVD today!" I don't know if that's helpful, but by putting in the search engine, companies concerned about piracy can more easilt ferret out auctions of dupes and pirates as described by Apu.
