You can read as accurate a story about the conference as I was able to write at AVN.com. (Sorry; can't post a link since I haven't posted to this list often enough.)

2) The Piracy Roundtable was news, and at AVN, we cover news -- sometimes even when the newsmakers don't particularly want that coverage. Only a few adult sites actually do that, yours not being one of them.

3) I am a "content producer" -- just not the same kind of content that most of the rest produce. And my shit gets pirated as well; I've seen it. Moreover, I promised whoever was guarding the door at the meeting that if I were allowed to attend, I would promise not to write about what I saw/heard in the meeting, but would base my story on whatever transpired at the "press conference" that was supposed to be held afterwards (which, BTW, didn't happen; I had to peg individual attendees as they left the room). But I would point out that it doesn't appear that anything happened in the meeting that would have compromised anyone attending or anything that was said if I had written about it -- especially since, unlike your own site, I don't write gossip or make personal attacks (well, except regarding Luke Ford occasionally, but he isn't really a member of the industry.) Perhaps the folks in charge of the next meeting, having seen my story on this one, will rethink their position on allowing press -- real press, that is; not gossip columnists -- into the meeting so the story can be more accurate.
