Judge Denies Max Hardcore a new trial

Jeff — Mon, 28 July 2008 00:00:00 EST

In a ruling today the judge in the Max Hardcore obscenity trail denied allowing him a new trial. Max's defense team had argued that he deserved a retrial on many different grounds including the fact that one of the jurors who was reportedly leaning in favor of Max got fired from her job then suddenly changed her vote. The judge denied the request for a retrial. This is no big new when you co

Fed Takes Over Processing Banks

Jeff — Sat, 26 July 2008 00:00:00 EST

Yesterday the FDIC took over 28 different banks in Nevada who were in financial troubles. They have transferred all of the accounts to Mutual of Omaha bank out of Nebraska and it is said the transfer was smooth and no money was lost. This is of interest to us because some of these banks provided credit card processing for adult processors like Net Billing. So far the word is everything is business

ICANN relaxes TLD process and reopens the door for xxx TLD

Jeff — Wed, 25 June 2008 00:00:00 EST

Today ICANN voted to relax the rules for top level TLD extensions. Everyone knows the .com and .net extension but this new ruling would allow anyone that had the money (it could be as much as 500K) and the correct technical capacity to register a TLD extension. So you can now have .yourname or .age or .hotels or whatever you wanted.

This then opens the door back up for .xxx. There is

The real worlds thought on tube sites

Jeff — Sat, 21 June 2008 00:00:00 EST

I have a friend that works for a gun shop. They sell some stuff online and the other day he and I were talking about the online biz world. He often asks me about good porn sites to join and stuff like that and I give him my recommendations. So he says to me, "Our new game in the shop is to surf Redtube and email each other the nastiest videos we can find." We had a laugh and then he said

The dot xxx is back again

Jeff — Thu, 19 June 2008 00:00:00 EST

It seems like this is the week where all the old already decided adult industry cases and situations are coming back. The other day it was Copa. Today is it the .xxx TLD. There was a ruling a while back by ICANN that they would not issue a .xxx TLD so you cant then own porn.xxx and so on. Most people in this industry agree with the ruling and feel it was the right thing to do. Having a .xxx TLD wo

Copa is back again

Jeff — Tue, 17 June 2008 00:00:00 EST

This battle has been going on ever since 1998 when lawmakers past a large law called COPA (Child Online Protection Act) This law included many different parts including one that would require any site that had any type of objectionable material to use a credit card as age verification before allowing people into their sites. This site has been struck down twice in the past as being too far reachin

Max Hardcore found guilty of obscenity

Jeff — Thu, 5 June 2008 00:00:00 EST

Over the last few weeks extreme hardcore porn producer Max Hardcore has been on trial in Florida on obscenity charges. Today he was found guilty on all counts. While being found guilty of obscenity for his extreme brand of porn may not be a shock to some this case could have far more reaching effects than just him getting busted for making the type of stuff he makes. In this case some of the count

Learn something every day

Jeff — Mon, 2 June 2008 00:00:00 EST

The old saying "learn something new everyday" may sound like a cliche to many, but it really is a worthwhile thing to think about. For example, just today I figured out how to add an iframe with some pics into the sidebar of one of my blogs. It may not be a big thing, but it is pretty cool and if it draws hits I will do it on all of my blogs and it could earn me some nice cash.

Get back to basics

Jeff — Wed, 28 May 2008 00:00:00 EST
I have been reading a lot recently about how tube sites and recession and more competition are driving people out of business or seeing a slowdown in business. I'm sure there is some truth to this. There is more free porn out there today than ever before but I maintain that ultimately the tube sites are a business model that is born to fail. When or if that happens doesn't change today and n

More Backlash For Tube Sites

Jeff — Sat, 29 March 2008 00:00:00 EST

There have been a couple of very interesting events in the last few days in regards to Tube sites. Gallery Traffic Services started selling ad spots for Xtube a “tube” site that often posts full 20-30 minute and longer videos. These types of sites have caused a lot of controversy and I still believe they are

Today was a sad day for a lot of adult webmasters. Texasdreams, a webmaster who was involved with Home Grown Video for a long time was found dead in his apartment.

Don't Be Stupid

Jeff — Mon, 25 February 2008 00:00:00 EST

The last week has been kind of crazy on the webmaster boards. There has been much talk about tube sites which I will get into in a few days, but there have been many other heated conversations. There was a thread I was involved in that discussed a recent current event. Most people in the thread, as you would expect, were pretty cool. They made th
