Manwin Bans ALL .XXX Associations

Posted on by

Manwin, who I think we all will agree now owns a controlling share of the actual internet, or at least the adult portion has made a very interesting decision today.  Effective immediately they will not only refuse to do any sort of business themselves in terms of buying .xxx domain names, they will also not do any business with anyone who does.  This includes buying ad space, selling ad space, buying content, selling content, affiliates and so on.

So anyone who owns a .xxx will flat out find themselves not able to do any sort of business at all with any Manwin owned or run websites which includes Wicked, Twistys, Brazzers and well quite honestly far more than I could ever count.  So before you rush to buy your own .xxx you might want to keep that in mind.

Something tells me that Manwin won’t be the only company making this decision, especially when it comes to their affiliate program.

LUXEMBOURG—Manwin issued a statement Friday announcing that in addition to the antitrust lawsuit it filed Nov. 16 against ICM Registry and ICANN over the approval of the .xxx TLD, it also “has determined to cease any and all internet liaisons with the .xxx Top Level Domain.”

In addition, the announcement states that as of today, Friday, Dec. 2, Manwin has banned all activities between its brands and internet sites registered with a .xxx TLD.

“We oppose the .xxx domain and all it stands for,” said Fabian Thylmann, Managing Partner of Manwin. “It is my opinion that the .xxx domain is an anti-competitive business practice that works a disservice to all companies that do business on the internet.

“The lawsuit was just the beginning,” added Thylmann. “Through this ban, we hope to make a strong statement against the .XXX domain.”

Manwin said it will no longer permit content from or advertising for .xxx websites on its tube sites. In addition, it will not permit its content to be used or advertised on .xxx websites. This will prevent ICM or .xxx from exploiting the 60 million daily visitors to Manwin’s network sites, it said.

By permanently blocking the .XXX domain, Manwin also said it hopes to send a clear message that it does not support ICM or .XXX.

Manwin Now in Control of Digital Playground

Truth be told, we’ve all suspected as such for awhile now but it seems today Adult FYI stumbled upon something rather interesting and that was news that Manwin is in fact in control of Digital Playground’s operations.  [source]

This news was revealed in regards to a lawsuit that Manwin recently filed that leaves some industry insiders sitting there going WTF?

How could a company who made millions and millions by stealing other people’s content be taken serious when they file a lawsuit to prevent another company from potentially infringing on their trademarks?

Don’t get me wrong, I do realize that two wrong don’t make a right and just because Manwin aka Brazzers stole from all of us for years, doesn’t mean anyone should now have the right to steal from them but it does make you stop and think for just a moment what kind of balls these people must have to be able to go into court with a straight face, with lawyers no doubt paid for by the millions they made by stealing from other people and complain about someone stealing from them.

Read a rather interesting story today on Mike South’s website today [source] about the dumbassary of some people in our industry.  Just remember Wicked, when you dance with the devil, you will get burned!  Never forget that.  ^^

 

The Ultimate In Hypocrisy

Ok remember how I posted that Wicked pictures ads are all over Thepiratebay.org? Well guess who is suing 87 john Does for illegally downloading their movies from a bit torrent site?

If You guessed Wicked Pictures, go to the head of the class.

How fucking hypocritical can you get Stevie?  You put money directly into the pockets of the people responsible for stealing your product (manwin. TPB) then have the unmitigated GALL to file a civil suit on the customers of these very same sites that run your ads?

I hope a judge has a fucking field day with you!

Meet Jesse Jane

Jesse Jane is arguably one of the most famous porn stars in the world.  She started her career at Digital Playground, the only company she has ever worked for.  For years they enjoyed a great relationship that is until this year.   Jesse Jane tweeted about her intentions of signing another 5 year contract with DP this year.  But within a few months that had all changed.  It seems DP forgot they built the entire success of their company off of a single performer and now they were risking losing that performer to another company because they weren’t treating her with the respect she felt she deserved.

Many would say that on the back of Jesse Jane alone, Digital Playground was transformed into another wanna be start-up to a true empire.  It would be rather easy to see why so many people think that, as Jesse Jane was their main contract star and every major movie and marketing campaign for Digital Playground all revolved around Jesse Jane.  So if they’ve staked their entire company image on a single performer, like KFC has with Colonel Sanders …. why the hell would you go out of your way to piss her off?

What we know for sure is that Jesse Jane made her last movie for Digital Playground the other day.  We also know that Jesse Jane’s name is owned as a legal trademark by Digital Playground.  The rumor was, until recently, that Jesse Jane would continue on as Cindy Taylor, her birth given name when she leaves Digital Playground, however Lukeisback is reporting that won’t be an issue anymore because Jesse Jane legally changed her name to Jesse Jane [source].

Kira Kener did this years ago when she left her contract with Vivid and it played a big part in her ability to get control over the Kira Kener trademark.

Many are speculating that Jesse Jane will have similar success with the courts as well.  But it will also probably cost her a lot of money to fight.  Digital Playground has been known to purposely try and drag out legal battles to try and make it to costly for the other party to afford.  Rumor is however that Jesse Jane is ready for the long haul and won’t just give up and walk away.

We know that Jesse Jane is in talks with many companies about what she is going to do after leaving Digital Playground.  One rumor was that she was going to start her own line of movies, like Jenna Jameson did with Club Jenna.  The most recent rumor is that she is going under contract with Manwin, who has recently been in talks to buy Digital Playground, although the rumor is that those talks have failed, that the owners of Digital Playground want more money than what the market considered to be “fair value” for their products.

So is the Jesse Jane going to Manwin rumor true?  We don’t know yet.  The only source so far to go on record saying it is true is Mike South.  But so far he’s only right about 25% of the time.  But still he has hit it more than a few times so it is worth considering the rumor as possibly true.

 

 

Is Brazzers Going to buy Digital Playground?

Hardly a day goes by that I don’t hear another Brazzers aka Manwin rumor.  They bought Playboy TV, Playboy in total, AVN, the AVN awards show, Sex.com, DeeCash and so on and so on.  Although some rumors about them turn out to be true from time to time, most of them don’t.  So when a rumor came in that Manwin is in talks to buy Digital Playground, I didn’t pay it much attention.  A few days later another source comes to me with the same story but with slightly different information on the negotiations.  Today another person came to me and this time he wanted to show me something on the ZZinsider website, which is a Brazzers, aka Manwin owned website.

So although this isn’t proof that Manwin is in talks to buy Digital Playground, clearly you can see some sort of deal has gone down.

 

What do people really think of Wicked Pictures?

As a business owner, have you ever wondered what people think or say about your business? Well thinks to the rise in social networking sites and webmaster gathering holes like xbiz.net, you can find out. Here is some of the chatter about Wicked Pictures, a company who used to matter but has recently been the butt of many jokes in terms of their operations.  So what exactly are people saying about Wicked Pictures and how they do things?

One guy said — I don’t think Wicked makes much off their website, because it is never updated. Their affiliate site is never updated. They have never had a good site nor ever made a separate site just featuring Jenna Jameson content. The shift into education for them is not gonna fly, cause no one is better than Nina Hartley at instruction. This is a company that won’t shift into the new digital age at all. I don’t think anyone there knows anything about computers. If they did, they would have ditched Brad and done everything in the world to keep Jenna, because in the late 90s, her name was one of the top 20 search terms daily. Does anyone remember that Excite live ticker that would show you which keywords people were searching for? Jenna’s name would come up at least once a minute.

The next guy chimed in with his response — Manwin (the guys responsible for Pornhub, Keezmovies, and lots of other tube sites full of stolen content) have taken over Wicked’s online business.  It’s hard to believe that Wicked would sign a contract with the very people who have had a huge hand in making all of Los Angeles DVD studios content essentially worthless. But I guess all of those guys from the big studios are getting desperate these days.

So to sum it up, stupid and desperate. That’s what people are saying about you Wicked.   Hopefully you use this opportunity as a learning experience.

Brazzers has already stolen the Tila Tequila sex tape

Nearly 70,000 people have already viewed scenes from the yet to be released Vivid owned Tila Tequila lesbian sex tape … yes, you heard me right … SEVENTY THOUSAND!  I mean, hey why buy the new Tila Tequila sex tape from Vivid when you can just get it for free from Brazzers.  Right?  Well maybe not the FULL thing but just enough of it for free that you probably don’t care to get the rest of it.

Brazzers (aka Manwin) owns a website called Porn Hub.  This website allows their users to upload movies they don’t own or have the rights to (which is illegal – it’s called copyright infringement).  Brazzers then also allows the people who join their membership website to benefit by watching these movies.  Lots of stolen videos are on the site from all kinds of studios.  Vivid spent a lot of money getting their hands on the legal rights to distribute this Tila Tequila movie.  Guess it sucks to be them because some people are profiting off of it long before it even hits the streets.
