Beware Content Licenses from Arnold Stein aka Arnold T of Old Pueblo/Trampas
He has been making his rounds trying to license a stack of DVD titles, many of which he has absolutely no right to license. A few of the movies are mine, and luckily I have friends in the business who called me as soon as they saw my stuff offered in Arnold's lot. I know there are other producers in this same boat.
Arnold is a scumbag. Buying cheap content from him is not worth the inevitable cease-and-desist letters. Please spread the word. |

Yes, do not buy this content. he also is selling some of my DVD titles. And I noticed my name showing up on some peoples 2257. If he is selling other peoples titles and is not even using his own address for the 2257 info that should be a red flag.
DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS SCAMMER |

I just got a current # on Arnold (thank you Mike from Videobox), and called him out over the phone. Of course, being the compulsive liar that he is, he totally denied everything. He claims, in fact, he's only done 2 content licensing deals EVER. Considering that's I've had to deal with my content being illegally licensed more than 2 times, this is laughable.
Scumbag. |

No URL Mike... in the past few weeks I've gotten calls from 2 friends in the VOD business saying that they got my DVDs from encoding from Arnold. Luckily they are good friends and killed the deal there.
Best thing is usually to Google your 2257 address and see who's 2257 page you show up on. |

Do a search on Old Pueblo here. I remember a few threads from them a while bad.
5th Element is also a bunch of scumbag thieves doing the exact same thing. |

Talked to him a few weeks ago
I spoke to Arnold about collecting on the 20k plus he owes me from my title. I was basically told I will never see my cash due to the fact he doesnt have it to give. I find all of this to be a bunch of bullshit.. I know when I was their working on both the Dutch Stud line and also on Lisa and Mike South's stuff and a few others he was trying to sell the wherehouse clean . When I left he was down to very few titles of most of these movies.
So I am not sure where Arnold would be getting the DVD's too sell.. On the VOD side I have never been able to get a straight number on anything. I have asked for reports on several occasions. I honestly want to see him out of business. FYI I think hes still running the business out of his house. So maybe a few of us should talk and go after that.... His partners also have houses and seem to be doing alright too. |

This guy is one of the true pieces of shit in the industry. He is for sure what gives ditributors a bad name. He stole and sold over 5000 dvds of mine to stores while he was selling for me. I hope I see his gravestone before i die so I can piss on his grave. His parents should drop dead also for the major fuckup of concieving him.
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS GUY |

You helped Arnie selling a lot of this stuff we are talking about here. I could say a lot more about your sorry ass, all you need to make sure off is that we will never meet again. You and Arnie cost me about 30K, and it would make my day to make you shit your pants just one more time. |

Don't get me started on this one!
I don't even know where to begin. All I can say is the OPD was maybe the worst run porn distribution company of all time Look at the list of producers he had: Pink Visual, Joe from AMA, Brittany Andrews, Dutch, Mike South, Lisa Spraxxx, Felcia Fox and Myself. How in the hell do you fuck up when you have all those producers working for you?

better watch out because sooner or later you will drop that bar of soap Arnie. And it seems there are plenty of people waiting for that opportunity. I loved the shocked looked you had on your face last time i saw you at AVN, you were trying to be all incognito with you grown out beard and your badge behind your shirt and a baseball cap covering half your face. Maybe I should post some pics of you for the people who don't know what you look like. |

The sad thing is back in his Big Top sales days, he wasn't such a bad guy.
I hear he even fucked over his own father, who put up some money for OPD. |

Sad to say... he got me too!
Do not buy from him: "Peter Romero's Beach House" "Lap Dance Gone Bad" Or anything comped with my name or titles on it. He's a real piece of work. Lost my shooting house 3 years ago waiting for him to pay me when my wife was 8 months pregnant. Arnold - if you ever see me - you better run. |
