Vivid-Entertainment-Group has filed a lawsuit in a Los Angeles Federal court against an adult-oriented YouTube-knockoff site called PornoTube. The adult entertainment giant targeted the video site for copyright infringement, representing the first move by a Porn Industry company against a YouTube-like site. While the Porn industry has certainly been somewhat more successful at marketing content for online-consumption compared to the movie industry for example, it has always had to compete with free clips.
Unlike the movie industry, Internet users surfing for free adult videos are more likely to be happy with 5 - 10 minute clips than a user surfing for TV shows or movie downloads. While the porn industry has always had to compete with free clips, it doesn't accept that it should have to compete with freely available clips from is very own catalog of premium content. The Vivid suit accuses PornoTube of hosting clips from several of its adult titles, including "Night Nurses" and "Where the Boys Aren't 7" and it seeks damages of $150,000 per infringed work. "What's happening in the industry is an unacceptable amount of theft," said Jon B., a vice president at Red Light District (not his real name, but rather an identity used to keep his name from the public for the sake of his family). Entertainment News Blog Comment: Vivid Entertainment Group is the world's largest adult film producer, featuring a popular catalog of VHS and DVD titles and Internet content. Vivid specializes in high-production-value movies, filmed in exotic locations and shot with professional lighting and quality cinematography. Vivid also produces gay porn movies under the names "Vivid Man" and "Vivid Video".
PornoTube is an advertising-supported pornographic website that provides audio, videos, and photos of explicit sex for free. On December 6, 2007, Vivid Entertainment filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against PornoTube. The lawsuit alleges that the YouTube-like site profits from the illegal posting of Vivid's copyrighted films, and failed to comply with the Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act, a federal age-verification and record-keeping law that applies to the adult film industry.
