Content theft warning - Hustler and VCA are on the rob!
If any of you had distribution deals with VCA that did not included electronic rights you maybe in for a bit of a shock. Hustler have brought out VCA and have started selling the DVD electronically.
Their view is that they want full blown rights both electronic and traditional.
We have just found tons of our DVDs being sold as leased feeds. When we issued cease and desists against the companies theycould produce model releases etc. and promtly informed us that they had acquired the content from VCA/Hustler.
There is pretty much nothing you can do apart from cancel the deal and approach another US distributor.
I would just like to thank Rocki at CEN for helping us and would like to say a big fuck you to Top Bucks who only managed to repond to a months worth of emails last night when I posted in one of their threads about possible legal action.
