Well I don't know, I guess that would you.

Let's try this simple question again...

Was this article that you pasted before or after you spell-checked it?

My explanation of why Darrah does what He/She/It does is the most reasonable explanation yet proffered.

shawna lenee aka kara bare is a nut case..

I think any adult production company has a DUTY to protect their talent.. What if your exclusive and under contract star stud with a 16" cock bangs an aids infested performer and consequently gets infected cause she was not tested or the shoot was bareback?

There goes your future income stream.

Do you think surfers and porn membership buyers have an aversion to seeing a condom on the male talent's cock? Sure nobody wants to see or get a blowjob wearing a condom, but at least with up to date and modern aids and hiv testing, you'll be safer knowing you're not gonna swallow aids infested cum down your throat.

If I was a whore getting 90 dicks up my ass every week, bet your ass I'd want them tested before plundering my butt and knowing how many dirty dicks these whores had inside them, no fucking way I'd ever fuck any of them without a condom on and with testing done before hand.

What if giant dick john has aids and he fucks 15 models today, then those 15 models fuck 10 guys each this week.. Now the disease is spreading.. what about any non talent these people fuck when not shooting?

spacedog...slow down. Everybody does get tested in this biz. I'd much rather have sex with a porn girl than a civilian girl I met at a bar. Though, in all honesty I'd fuck them both without thinking twice lol

First off...there aren't any stars under "contract" anymore, unless you count a couple of girls at Vivid. :) This is 2010 not the 1980's.

As a lover of porn, I have no desire to see a condom. Maybe you do. Maybe SOME people do. The vast, vast majority do not. It will indeed hurt sales to any company that is forced to do it.

And it will increase my sales because I have no intentions of shooting condom porn. That's the real issue here.

Will California finish off the adult industry IN California by passing this law?

It's just that simple. Everybody will leave. And if any other state passes such laws...nobody will be there either.

And if the whole country does it...then we will simply leave the country. I've been wanting to live on a nice island for a long time anyway.

Darrah plain and simple you are a fucking dumb whore idiot. You have no clue on ANYTHING that has to do with this industry. GO GET A FUCKING JOB and leave this industry to people with knowledge on what REALLY happens. You dumb shit.

2 reasons on why this industry suffers.

1- TUBES
2- DUMB shits like you

GO AWAY

BINGO !!!!!! another post from... listen to what i heard..

DUM WHORE

IM with the Cat

Simple enough for even Mister Peabody to follow! OUT DAMN SATAN WHORE OUT!!!!

Oh - as for condoms: Since wearing a condom on my wee little dicky helps sell "my story" better - and trust me, trust me, it sure as fuck DOES - then NOT wearing a condom is bad for my biz. That's JUST for Mister P., that is. In fact, I shot three girls sans condoms and members wrote me and scolded me. "Mister Peabody now, you KNOW that is UNsafe behavior..." Funny as shit.

But I agree in general: try stretching a rubber on one of those giant porn cocks and, well, not purty.

So, so, so, true!!! I have known her since she was 18 and i get along with her, but everytime i have worked with her or see here, i dont quit know what to expect. She has had serious melt downs on a few of my friends sets.







And as for Darrah, you continue to entertain me with your stupidity. You take great pride on what you claim you wrote, but then your other personality claimed somebody emailed this story to you. Which is it?


It actually doesn't matter, you, your stupidity and you common sense ignorance always puts a smile on my face. I dont know whats more entertaining, Your stupidity or the fact that you think that you are so smart.lol




Either way, please carry on because TV is boring and i need a good laugh..:thumbsup

I never said you were a feminist, just that you might get suckers to bite in their forum.
But it is laughable you denying being a feminist, given how fast & loose you are with the rape card (max hardcore thread)
even if the bullshit you post but dont write is true, CA will never force safety laws on porn producers. CA willfully ignores the contradiction between legal porn & illegal prostitution so they can tax the biz. The mighty dollar is far more important then enforcing the law.
if you had a clue then you would understand this.

Bribes being paid?

Record donations?

A meeting of some of the most prominent players in a multi billion dollar industry?

So porn is dead, or porn is a multi billion dollar industry?

I'm confused....

Talk about critical reading. Nice one :)
ds

well if you dont agree with whats written why feel the need to post it? Saying you re not anti porn is almost funny. I don't come to gfy daily yet i have sen enough of your right wing post to even know better. Back to your bashing.

My other personality thinks you're nuts, and so do I.

That's one sexy looking animal

Condom scenes doesn't sell as well as non-condom for us. We do shoot it but pay the talent less for it.

To me it always seems like there are unintended consequences to everything.

My take is that IF they somehow could force people to use condoms against their will...then all this "testing" for std's would no longer be required.

Then AIM's little money machine would be shut down and folks in that little industry would be out of work too. More jobs lost and LESS "safety" during shooting. Everytime the govt. sticks it's nose into things it has no expertise in (which is pretty much everything except killing people in wars), it always makes it worse for everyone.

Everything with government seems to be decided based on lobbying and freebies in a take someone out to dinner and they will back your cause sort of way. Knowing about something doesn't seem to come into it.

How could they? Our elected officials are just guys and women looking for a permanent lifetime job. And the people that govt. hires are generally not up to par with people in the private sector because the brightest folks are getting paid good money in the real world.

In our situation...who exactly in govt. would be an expert in the porn industry? Nobody. And even if they had experience in our business, they wouldn't and couldn't admit it unless they are some kind of born again crazy bitch who once was female talent and now is anti-porn. So there is no way that I can see that any local, state, or federal govt. can have the expertise in our business to do anything but act on rumor and hearsay. Just like Darrah's blog does.

Which is why govt. should stick to what it does best...killing people.

Yes ,and even that is based on different hidden agendas..and of course $$$$$$$.

That's what makes the world go round.

So someone submitted a story and because you ran spellcheck you feel its yours?

Did you do any fact checking before you ran it?

One thing that should be noted about the other sites that published this story and your posting is that they took the time to craft a headline that read as a question, you on the other hand presented it as fact.

You have absolutely no journalistic integrity and publish second hand hearsay bullshit as truth.

I was going to cut deeper but I don't need to.

BINGO SHelly, youre looking at another alltime GFY idiot who bases her storys on HEARSAY. Ban this idiot is what I say.

Would you like a handkerchief to wipe the blood off your scalpel?

You've hit the nail on the head though with it being presented in a very confusing way as if Darrah was claiming to be the author. You'd love the quality of journalism in some of the lower-end UK newspapers :upsidedow

Bill Clinton and perhaps 64% of Republicans, that's who.
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Ryan at LukeFord.com has his sources that say Derek Hay might have been involved.

Vivid, Wicked, Digital Playground, Adam & Eve to name a few.

Darrah is a fat girl's name.

I only said it was "my story" because the last time I posted a story on this forum, JustDaveXxx said to credit it from ******** when it was also my story even then. This story was posted on other websites as their story without crediting me when my source had only sent it to me. The first website that ran it as "his story" was lying because that person had banned my source from his website and why would he submit a story to him now.

My source knows what they're talking about. I checked their first stories months ago and they checked out. So I don't have to doubt what they write anymore.

Darrah = IDIOT get off our board u douche

As long as you understand that your disclaimer won't protect you from anybody if you libel them. Journalistic privilege won't cover utter bullshit.

Your intentions may be good...but think about this:

1. Many times what you post is only one side of a story. And the person giving you their side usually has an agenda. That's just human nature.

2. Why should anybody get "warned" about anything? I sure as hell didn't. It's called the LEARNING CURVE. Warnings don't do anybody any good. The only way to truly learn this business is by DOING things. Including making mistakes, getting fucked over, and then learning from those experiences and becoming successful. That's how I did it, and everybody that I know who is successful in any business did it. All the sheep who get "warned" and follow those "warnings" never truly learn the lessons of how to make it.

Just sayin', I know my little words here aren't gonna stop you from continuing down your path (it gets you some attention which you enjoy...again, human nature), but it's just something to step back and think about before you try to proclaim that you're just doing this to "help" people.

Personally I prefer that mainstream thinks the center of the porn industry is in LA. I'd just as soon stay off the radar and do my thing. Remember you can be a porn webmaster anywhere in the world that you can plug into the Internet. Porn isn't going anywhere, it never will, it is just changing like it always does. Most webmasters here that have been around for 10 - 15 years have heard all of this over and over again. Year after year. I guess it must be the newbies that think the sky is falling. When has the sky not been falling?

The one thing LA has is a bunch of 18 year olds falling off the bus on their way to movie stardom. For most of them, there's a good chance they are going to find a career in porn, at least for a year or so. So if you're a webmaster in Chucklefuck, Alaska, talent is probably on the slim side. At any rate, people come and go.

Yeah - they were gonna shut down the illegal drug trade - how's that working out?
 

Hmmm, lets see:

Spent - 7 bil
Drugs imported to US - 40 bil
Successes against any major category - 0

Demand creates willingness to take risks as prices rise. Nothing will *ever* kill the porn business unless a new species "Homo Hermaphraditicus" takes over. Like energy, porn can never be destroyed, only changed.

I would want to know who the scumbags are so to stay away from them. If my personal safety is on the line, then I want to know.

In a good or a bad way? :upsidedow

I'm pretty sure that if somebody in the industry is doing things that would hurt somebodies "personal safety" then we ALL know about it already. The only people you could possibly be giving any info that is unknown to them already would be surfers.

You know we do talk to one another in this business Darrah. And nobody who really makes a living in the business reads blogs written by folks NOT in the business. Doesn't that make any sense to you?

It would be like the head of a major car company like GM reading a blog on how his business works that is written by a person NOT in the business but just writing things they "heard" from various people who might clean the bathroom at the auto plant.

You're writing for surfers, and maybe one or two brand new people in the business who may OR may not be getting the truth out of what you have passed on from a "source" who may or may not have an agenda.

I'm just sayin'
I'm not trying to attack you or be disrespectful. I just want to be clear that what you are doing isn't really relevant to what happens in our business. You are talking to the folks who really do it in this very thread. And you are kinda ignoring what we are telling you.

Writing about gossip amongst girls who shoot porn and their agents isn't what this business is about. You may as well go into any strip club dressing room and you'll hear the same b.s. being talked about.

In a very good way... :Graucho

Understandable. That would way piss me off too.

Im with you about warning people and giving people the "heads up," but you really need to have a 2nd source to corroborate your 1st. I will be the 1st to agree with you that there are a lot of shady and fucked up people in this business. I also see this business eat and spit out female talent as it was yesterdays trash. From what i see its pretty bad, but you need to be more careful on who you call out. You should have 2 separate sources saying the same thing before you publish it. Because if you are wrong and it is in fact a person with a vendetta against another, the out come will never be good. Good people are loosing jobs in this business every day, it would be a shame if someone got wrongly fire do to the untrue nature of the article you posted or the source had a vendetta against the person you are writing it about.(seen that one a few times)


You have been on point about a few people, but way off point when you wrote about Megan Stokes. I know Megan and her husband personally both are very hard working good people. Why do you think so many people attacked you and rushed to take her back? Because she does scenes?? Not at all.


Megan Stokes is one of very few women that made big things happen in such a male dominated business. To do what she has done on the business side and be a non performing woman is unheard of. Meagan didnt sleep her way to getting to where she is. Everybody knows her because of all of the B to B business she has done in this industry. She has never fucked anyone over and has a solid reputation. She has made a lot of people a lot of money.

Keep in mind this industry is a place where everyone says bad shit about everyone and yet nobody has said anything negative about Megan. Then you choose to write a less than flattering piece with your baseless facts about her. Thats why you got slammed every other post. You attacked someone that has a spotless reputation with everyone on this board. And yes she actively goes to shows and is meeting board members and posters face to face.


Megan is the best example of you should have had two separate sources before you ran your story about her. You may not have meant to hurt anybody, but you did; Your self and your credibility as a writer.

And if you wrote this after every piece that you write or posted, i would respect for you. Because then i know what i am reading may not be fact. It just may be rumor or speculation. I would then look at the piece as just an entertaining read knowing, it may not be true. But i get pissed off when bullshit and unsubstantiated facts get pushed off as checked facts. Even worse what is written others may be taking it as facts.



If you throw down this disclaimer every time you post a story, you will have me off of your back. But also keep in mind we dont go to your Blog to read, you bring your blog to us every time.

Too bad you dont know what questions to ask or comprehend what is really going on, because i do know what you are talking about and i have 3 inside sources and all of the details of what you are trying to report. Too bad im not a reporter by trade. I will just say this, its BIG.

If I'm about to accuse someone of a crime, I only do it if it's been printed elsewhere already. This way I can say well it's still on those websites and nothing was ever done. Example: Vivid's Bill Asher.

I've turned down many things people wanting me to label someone a pedophile or a rapist. I've told them I can't print that and where's the proof or someone coming out claiming this happened.

I have the disclaimer page link at the top of the blog. I write Opinion/Editorial at the top of possible controversial posts. My posts are already long enough and it would look ridiculous with that disclaimer at the bottom of every post. I already do much more than many other sites do.

I never said anything against Megan and never had anything against her. I don't know why you're bringing her into this now. My very first day here I started my thread "I'm a ~newb~ at GFY". Megan then wrote:

I replied:

BTW - Disclaimers and retractions wont save you from a lawsuit if you were ever to libel someone.

I guess your intentions are meant to help but from your own disclaimer it comes across to me as someone saying " Dont believe a word here as it could and may be all bullshit ?

If thats the case would anyone give any credibility to anything you write or say ?

Just the way i see it..but im sure others would read it and think the same thing .....


Maybe something like " We have checked our facts with multiple sources and we believe them to be true based on our research " ...blah blah..... that would at least give more credibility ?

I saw that part of the disclaimer on a mainstream celebrity blog. I Googled it and saw it on other websites too. It seemed to cover all bases. So I kept it for myself.

Even when no malice was behind it? I've read up on it and there has to be malice behind it or if you knew it wasn't true but still ran it. Whatever I say I believe is 100% true.

Slander and Liable are two torts that involve the communication of false information about a person, a group, or an entity such as a corporation. Libel is any Defamation that can be seen, such as a writing, printing, effigy, movie, or statue. Slander is any defamation that is spoken and heard.


Collectively known as defamation, libel and slander are civil wrongs that harm a reputation; decrease respect, regard, or confidence; or induce disparaging, hostile, or disagreeable opinions or feelings against an individual or entity. The injury to one's good name or reputation is affected through written or spoken words or visual images. The laws governing these torts are identical.


To recover in a libel or slander suit, the plaintiff must show evidence of four elements: that the defendant conveyed a defamatory message; that the material was published, meaning that it was conveyed to someone other than the plaintiff; that the plaintiff could be identified as the person referred to in the defamatory material; and that the plaintiff suffered some injury to his or her reputation as a result of the communication.


To prove that the material was defamatory, the plaintiff must show that at least one other person who saw or heard it understood it as having defamatory meaning. It is necessary to show not that all who heard or read the statement understood it to be defamatory, but only that one person other than the plaintiff did so. Therefore, even if the defendant contends that the communication was a joke, if one person other than the plaintiff took it seriously, the communication is considered defamatory.


Defamatory matter is published when it is communicated to someone other than the plaintiff. This can be done in several different ways. The defendant might loudly accuse the plaintiff of something in a public place where others are present, or make defamatory statements about the plaintiff in a newsletter or an on-line bulletin board. The defamation need not be printed or distributed. However, if the defendant does not intend it to be conveyed to anyone other than the plaintiff, and conveys it in a manner that ordinarily would prevent others from seeing or hearing it, the requirement of publication has not been satisfied even if a third party inadvertently overhears or witnesses the communication.


Liability for republication of a defamatory statement is the same as for original publication, provided that the defendant had knowledge of the contents of the statement. Thus, newspapers, magazines, and broadcasters are liable for republication of libel or slander because they have editorial control over their communications. On the other hand, bookstores, libraries, and other distributors of material are liable for republication only if they know, or had reason to know, that the statement is defamatory. Common carriers such as telephone companies are not liable for defamatory material that they convey, even if they know that it is defamatory, unless they know, or have reason to know, that the sender does not have a privilege to communicate the material. Suppliers of communications equipment are never liable for defamatory material that is transmitted through the equipment they provide.


In general, there are four defenses to libel or slander: truth, consent, accident, and privilege. The fact that the allegedly defamatory communication is essentially true is usually an absolute defense; the defendant need not verify every detail of the communication, as long as its substance can be established. If the plaintiff consented to publication of the defamatory material, recovery is barred. Accidental publication of a defamatory statement does not constitute publication. Privilege confers Immunity on a small number of defendants who are directly involved in the furtherance of the public's business?for example, attorneys, judges, jurors, and witnesses whose statements are protected on public policy grounds.



In short to answer your question, the absence of malice is no defense. Believing it is true and not using due diligence to verify that what you are writing is true and in fact what you write is not true=fucked! But if what you publish, you believe is true and in fact it is the truth you will be golden.

A perfect example where you put yourself in a bad legal position is when; A female performer calls you saying that this particular producer is a thief, doesn't pay talent, forces female talent to have sex with them, etc and in fact she is lying or has her own agenda and you run that story, she is liable for "slander" and by you writing it up, you are liable for the tort violation of "libel." Her for the "slander" and you for the "republication" of the "defamatory statements" in a libelous form.



Hope this little law lesson helps you out with what ever you choose to write.

Perhaps the most ironic thing about the recent history of internet porn is that, in looking back, the MOST lucrative time for the vast majority of people in the biz was during the Bush years....



kind of funny, really, when you think about it!!
