In what may be a harbinger of things to come for the adult industry, Adult Source Media has disclosed that they have been served a cease & desist request from the law firm representing author EL James and her best-selling erotic novel series, Fifty Shades of Grey. ASM has been told to immediately halt production of the XXX film parody of the publishing world’s fan & media darling.
Adult Source Media’s legal counsel has responded, reminding the author’s representatives that Adult Source Media’s upcoming project does not violate any intellectual property rights.
As explained by ASM’s lawyers, “the naked truth is, the adult film industry is not excluded from the protections of the fair use doctrine.”
In what could be the first time that the adult industry has rankled the powerful, insular book publishing community, Adult Source Media has vowed to protect its right to produce an adult only oriented takeoff of what the book world has christened, “Mommy Porn.”
“The literary world, be it publishers, book agents or the press, have proclaimed a new genre in the romance novel sector and have christened it “Mommy Porn”, stated ASM President, Wendy Crawford.
The book industry has seized this explosive opportunity in order to generate world-wide renown, acceptance and most importantly, publicity, targeting the largest purchasing demographic- professional women.
For Fifty Shades of Grey’s attorneys to now ask us to put the brakes on this project, smacks of hypocrisy. Consumers, particularly women, should be able to visually experience and enjoy an adult film spoofing an interpretation of a currently popular book.”
Crawford seems confident that the film will be released.
“We’ve received hundreds of emails since announcing our plans. 99% have been positive feedback from women who can’t wait to see Ana and Christian’s sex scenes re-enacted on film from the perspective of a woman, which is key to honoring the wishes of the female fans. We intend on doing our best to fulfill those fantasies. ”
Adult Source Media’s Fifty Shades of Grey is a parody. Vintage Books, E.L. James, Universal Pictures, the publishers, producers or directors of Fifty Shades of Grey, in no way authorize, endorse or sponsor this movie.
Adult Source Media is a Multi-Award-Winning Adult Entertainment studio, specializing in niche content. Best known as the largest producer of adult animation, Adult Source Media’s new Romance line, Intimate Encounters is produced and directed by Couples for Couples.
