L.A. Piracy Roundtable Draws Diverse Crowd

Steve Javors writes:

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — A diverse group of adult industry members gathered in a conference room at the Universal Sheraton hotel Wednesday night to discuss the growing threat of piracy. The meeting, attended by approximately 75 people, succeeded in creating an open dialogue and saw the seeds planted for the creation of a new anti-piracy organization.

Organized by Shane’s World who hired a professional moderator to keep the roundtable flowing smoothly, attendees found much value in getting key players in one room to identify the remedies — legal or otherwise — that content producers and copyright holders could take to protect their works.

Resulting from the meeting was the formation of an ad-hoc advisory board that meets next week to crystallize ideas and suggestions that came from the meeting.
