I spoke to Jeff Steward of J.M. Productions this afternoon about the ongoing drama between adultbouncer.com and his company. Jeff said he didn’t know much about the Canadian company until he was tipped off by a partner of his, Divx. The J.M. website features VOD Divx. Jeff was given a link to adultbouncer noting that adultbouncer was offering certain J.M. titles – Assy 6, Gag Factor 5, The Violation of Aurora Snow, The Violation of Briana Banks, The Violation of Katie Gold, The Violation of Kiki Daire, and Perverted Stories 34-36- in Divx format.
“I’ve never licensed any of my content to anybody,” said Steward, noting that adultbouncer’s billing company is based in Great Britain. “It’s all these shell companies that makes it very complicated to figure out who exactly they are.”
Steward said this isn’t the first instance of dealing with companies who’ve helped themselves to his product. “I come across this all the time. Normally you’ll contact the people that are doing their billing or the actual people that own the site themselves. Normally they are apologetic, hey we’ll take it down. But adultbouncer wasn’t like that. They kept shifting the blame on everybody else. They were the only ones not at fault. I said I don’t care where you got it from, the fact is you’re the ones offering it. I don’t care where you got it from. The fact is irrelevant. You have it on your site. Take it down and let me see an accounting of the money that’s been collected. I want my money.”
