Post by BTR1701Post by SlaveTrainerPost by AFTL-FAQ MaintainerSince I have read messages that imply that some one in Canada used a
very bad VHS/Beta video to make a DVD of Traci I Love You, I have
decided to do what should be done, and I do offer this title on DVD as
well.
I have just finished using the 487 Lines of Resolution Dolby Stereo
LaserDisc of Traci I Love You, and converted it to DV and have now
authored it onto DVD.
Hey MONKEY BOY, didn't you know that TRACI hold the COPYRIGHT to TILY
and you are in breech of FEDERAL COPYRIGHT LAW selling COPIES of HER
material! This isn't in any way "questionable" material or a question
as to WHO OWNS IT, she won her COPYRIGHT in a court of LAW! You can
easily do MAJOR TIME IN A FEDERAL PENITENTIARY getting FUCKED IN THE
ASS DAILY BY BUBBA for hawking TRACI LORD'S PROPERTY! It isn't yours
to make money off of FUCK FACE!
Weird how this guy routinely claims to be suing Earthlink for violating
some nebulous copyright on his "FAQ" but he has no compunction about
blatantly violating an actual registered and federally adjudicated
copyright on someone else's movie.
Once again.....
Traci owns the Copyright on Traci, I Love You - according to the
Copyright registrar it's Caballero.
The French Distributor is VIOLATING her Copyright then for putting it
out on DVD.
The Canadian Distributor which uses the Studio Master tapes to makes
copies, I guess is also violating the Copyright.
FOR ALL THESE FELONS INFORMATION, COPYRIGHT READS AS FOLLOWS:
Copyright is secured by the owner, and any copies, derivative works,
etc., can NOT be made without the Owners Permission.
NEWSFLASH! I have posted this before. I have the LETTER, written by
and SIGNED by the Canadian Distributor, who owns the Copyright on
these films for the manufacture and distribution, to MAKE COPIES of
these videos.
I have posted to this newsgroup that I do HAVE the PERMISSION of the
Copyright Owner, which by the way, Traci Lords, who claims she was
never a producer of Adult Films, produced Traci Je T'aime, the REAL
name of this film, as a work for HIRE, under her Traci Lords Company,
which she obviously DOESN'T OWN, since she claims she was never a
producer, which means the Copyright belongs to the Company that hired
her.
Leisure Time Entertainment, Direct Video and DVD, etc., all have the
right to reproducre and distribute derivate works of this film.
Leisure Time and Direct Video and DVD both put out Traci, I Love You
in EP mode on VHS tapes, and they also have a derivative work, about
30 minutes of the sex scenes they also sell on an EP VHS tape.
I don't KNOW about Leisure Time Entertainment or Direct Video and DVD,
but I do have a Letter from the Canadian Distributor who owns the
Copyright for the Canadian Releases, to make copies of the work.
Copyright on film is violated only if it is done for PROFIT. Since I
am not doing anything for profit, I only exchange Retail Box Tapes or
Copies at the cost I pay for them, there is no Copyright.
In the case of DUPAS and Earthlink.net, READ MY FAQ: Traci Lords
Newsgroup FAQ is (C) Terry Ortman. Feel free to distribute this as
long as all references to the owner are intact, and you may not
reproduce, retransmit, make a derivative work, etc., without the
EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE COPYRIGHT OWNER.
I can GUARANTEE YOU that dupas, Earthlink.net, etc., do NOT have my
express written permission to use any PART of my FAQ, because I have
never been sent a request to use or make a derivative work, nor have I
given anyone permission to do so.
The Traci Lords Newsgroup FAQ, and/or the Traci Lords Usenet Newsgroup
FAQ, are (C) Terry Ortman, and ANYONE using that or any other part of
the Copyrighted material, as it appears on my Web Pages, the
rtfm.mit.edu, www.faqs.org, or any other mirrior site, without my
written permission is violating Copyright Law.
The Motion Pictures Association of America, which by the way, no PORN
producer is a member of, and no porn producer will ever file a lawsuit
for Copyright infringement, because they'd have to divulge their real
names, etc., was ruled in the great MPAA versus SONY Corporation
Federal Copyright Lawsuit as follows:
A person that BUYS a Video Cassette, LaserDisc, or other media
containing a motion picture, has every right to MAKE As many COPIES as
they want, they can trade the copies, but they can NOT SELL for a
Profit the copies, ie., they can charge for the tape, the shipping and
handling, the time it took them to make it, etc., they can't make a
profit on the sale, but if they want to SELL for a profit, the video,
they MUST sell the ORIGINAL RETAIL TAPE.
In other words, if you record the big film STAR WARS: EPISODE II, off
of HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, etc., and you record it on VHS, Beta, DVD,
etc., you are NOT violating the Copyright if you record it to play
back later, keep in yuor collection, or you want to make copies to
trade to friends and relatives.
The Canadian Distributor of these Videos charges me, the wholesale
buyer, $40.00 for every Retail Boxed Tape, of which I have posted a
list of to get rid of the stock I have that low life like Dupas
ordered and never paid for, and $25.00 for every plain boxed copy.
These videos sell for $89.95 or more at the local Adult Video Stores,
I am making NO PROFIT on them.
Unlike the others in this group who post about movies, and sell 5th,
6th, on down to about 200th generation copies, because someone bought
the videos originally back in 1984-1987 and made them a copy, remember
every time a tape plays microscopic magnetic layers of media fall off,
that's how the heads get dirty, the tape degenerates, and the shelf
life is only 10-15 years on those tapes, and they made a copy of the
copy, etc..
Unless they have the LaserDisc releases, every time the tape plays,
the picture degrades.....
They are selling for profit, blank tapes cost 68 cents for a T-120,
unless they buy those CHEAP, Consumer Grade tapes in the store, for
$3.99 and higher, thinking they are getting a better tape, everyone
always sends me Maxell or Sony and even JVC tapes.....
FACT: ALL Professional Grade VHS Tapes I get are FUJI, that's all the
suppliers sell me because FUJI is proven to keep the color, audio,
etc., perfectly.
I can take a FUJI SuperVHS Tape, do a tape analysis and the quality is
Excellent, if I take a consumer grade FUJI tape and drill a hole to
make the VCR think it's SVHS, the tape is Excellent.
I can take JVC, SONY, MAXELL, etc., SuperVHS tapes, the tapes that are
engineered to record 400 lines of Broadcast Quality Video, and they
all rate as GOOD quality. My gosh, the CHEAP consumer tapes, not
SVHS, rate that same, so what's the point of paying $13.99 for a JVC
SuperVHS Tape, when I can buy a FUJI SuperVHS Tape for $4.99?
If they don't use FUJI tapes, they are selling poor quality copies to
begin with.
