Piracy Journal: An Industry Coming of Age
I have been ruminating about this column for some time. It started when I read an unflattering article in a mainstream publication after the XBIZ EU show in London about how the industry appeared to be “on its death bed.” The author talked about a “disappointingly beige” conference focused on seminars about payment processors and government regulations.

A trademark is a form of protection for any word, name, symbol, or device used in commerce to “identify the goods of one manufacturer or seller from goods manufactured or sold by others,” and to indicate the source of the goods.
Knocking the Knock Offs
American copyright law has traditionally been intertwined with how we view patents and trademarks. In fact, the U.S. House and Senate Patent Committee and it’s Subcommittee on Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights was responsible for crafting copyright law until fairly recently, and the individual industries affected by copyright have always been the entities that shape actual legislative updates in the U.S.
Piracy Journal: Looking at Leachers
There is a copyright infringement case in Chicago that began two years ago, and it’s still before the court, and everyone interested in digital piracy should be watching it closely. It involves a content producer from Florida called Flavaworks, and a social media and video indexing site called MyVidster.com.
The Condom Link
Lots of our clients produce gay content. For some it’s a small part of an otherwise straight enterprise, but for others, it’s their main focus and has been for years. Living and working in adult in Los Angeles, I’ve been following Measure B with particular interest because, as anyone who enjoys gay porn knows, condoms have been completely integrated into that content niche for quite a long time, with a few notable exceptions — outlier studios that have always produced exclusively bareback gay video. Condom use is almost never integrated into a storyline, whether the production is straight or gay — because let’s be honest — much of the content our industry puts out involves storylines having to do with casual sex, unplanned encounters with strangers, or falling victim to seduction or sudden animal urges.

Is File Sharing Theft?
The language we use to frame digital piracy matters, and the real problem is that 20th century notions of theft simply don’t apply. Copying content one did not create is not the same zero-sum game as stealing, because the owner still has his original content. And now, entire generations of “Netizens” draw a sharp moral distinction between file sharing and theft. A March 2012 op-ed in the New York Times posits that “we should recognize that the criminal law is least effective – and least legitimate – when it is at odds with widely held moral intuitions.”
