Michael Fattorosi owes Dan Underhill of 2257snap $40,000

(From the desk of Monica Foster)

Well, today is a day of celebration. A key to the puzzle and mystery that was pornwikileaks has come to light. I have stated for quite some time that Michael Fattorosi needs to be brought to justice.

Below are emails to me from the current [proper] owner of 2257snap.com Dan Underhill. Dan expresses how he was hired by Michael Fattorosi, used, exploited and then not compensated for 6 to 8 months of database work in regards to retaining the anonymous 2257 records of hundreds of "mom and pop" adult studio (pornography content producers) owners.

Considering how it has been proven by MikeSouth.com that Michael Fattorosi was communicating with and possibly advising Donny Long & Michael Tierney in regards to the now closed pornwikileaks website - one has to question if the database that was compiled for 2257safe (which now Dan Operates independently as 2257snap [he is the proper owner]) was utilized in compiling the personal and private records of the thousands of adult entertainers who were targeted by the pornwikileaks project.

A www.MonicaAtHome.com video broadcast about this issue will be coming soon.

Thanks Monica, your quick response is wonderful.

I have taken the high road and have not publicly blasted these guys (Mike primarily) or made the reasons overtly public. When asked, I would only reply that Mike had other interests and that I took over to service the promises that were made to the customer base. Mike had made commitments to almost 100 customers to take care of their 2257 records and was just going to toss them to the wind after defaulting on all of his payments and overhead. I stepped in, took back possession of all the software I developed for him, and created 2257Snap to simply maintain the commitment that was made so that their existing records will be maintained. Most all of them are mom-and-pop webmasters who were primarily concerned with remaining anonymous.

Again, I'm not in the "adult" industry. I'm just a programmer who was hired by these guys a few years ago and wasted 6-8 months of my life working full time on database development and web design, and subsequently received barely any compensation as was promised. It threw me into bankruptcy and profoundly negatively impacted my life. Fortunately, things are doing better now.

Today I'm a third year nursing student at a prestigious learning-hospital, but keep 2257Snap open to continue the long term commitment made to those clients.
It appears to me that you have also made positive steps to remove yourself from that industry if I am not mistaken. I applaud your efforts and wish you the best. :)

Best regards,

Meet the New King of Porn

Why porn queens and CES tech geeks have parted ways

For years, the sight of badge-wearing technology nerds intermingling with buxom porn queens along the Strip marked the start of a new year and the concurrent arrival of two high-profile conventions to Las Vegas.

But this year, the International Consumer Electronics Show and the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, two conventions with a long, informal relationship, are being held on separate weeks. CES wrapped up last Friday and the adult expo begins Wednesday.

The split was caused in large part by scheduling issues, said Steve Javors, managing editor of AVN, an adult entertainment trade publication.

“We needed to keep the AVN Awards over the weekend so all of our talent and the members of the adult business community can attend without it taking up their whole week,” Javors said.

Holding the adult expo concurrently with CES had brought the convention increased attendance and media attention, Javors said. But as the show has grown over the past two decades — starting out in the basement of the Sands Expo and Convention Center in the 1980s and now reaching the point where it will take over the Hard Rock Hotel — Javors said having its own weekend will help the adult expo step into its own spotlight.

The separation from CES, which drew nearly 150,000 visitors and sent room rates skyrocketing, will also help attendees at the adult expo save on travel costs.

“We’ve certainly grown up and deserve our own weekend,” Javors said. “I think (the move) will make our show more accessible for people who want to attend. The hotel rooms will cost less and people won’t spend forever waiting in lines for cabs.”

Among attendees at CES, reactions were mixed as people who enjoyed attending both events realized that the adult expo was being held a week later.

“I suppose I’m a bit disappointed,” said 55-year-old Jeff Lewis, a research scientist from Canada attending CES. “It was very peculiar to be walking from a booth with computers to go-go dancers. It was always fun to walk through both conventions.”

CES attendee Walter Areas said he worried that the separation would mean less attendance for the adult expo.

“The demographic for CES is all men. Same with the porn convention,” the 30-year-old California resident said. “Realistically, they should go hand in hand. It worked. It was a perfect collaboration — like white on rice.”

The new weekend for the adult expo will also come with a new venue, as the convention’s festivities and exhibitions move to the Hard Rock Hotel. Javors said the expo will take advantage of the Hard Rock’s varied venues to host a dozen parties throughout the week.

“It takes us out of the convention-type atmosphere and puts it in a fun, sexy venue,” he said. “It’s really exciting … I think it will, in a way, breathe new life into the show and give it a different vibe.”

Los Angeles mandates porn stars wear condoms

courtesy Reuters.com

Porn stars in Los Angeles will be legally required to wear condoms during film shoots after the city council voted on Tuesday to mandate their use, despite a threat by skin flick producers to leave town over the requirement.

The move comes amid persistent questions about how to enforce the health measure, which backers say will protect performers in the multibillion-dollar porn industry from contracting HIV and other diseases.

Producers complain the sight of a condom in a sex scene turns off consumers of their videos.

The Los Angeles City Council voted 9-1 on Tuesday to give final approval to the measure, proposed after the AIDS Healthcare Foundation qualified an initiative for the ballot that would have asked voters in June to mandate condoms at porn shoots as a condition of obtaining a film permit.

The city would have had to spend over $4 million to hold the election, and city officials said a decision to simply adopt the condom requirement allowed them to dodge that costly election.

The council gave preliminary approval to the measure last week, and its passage made the city the first in the nation to impose such a requirement. Most of the U.S. porn industry is based in Los Angeles.

The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal-OSHA) already requires porn performers to wear barriers, such as condoms, when they are in contact with bodily fluids.

But enforcement has been a challenge for the state. For one, the Cal-OSHA requirement is not specifically aimed at adult films, and it is openly violated within the industry, said Michael Weinstein, president of AIDS Healthcare. He has clashed with porn producers for years over the issue.

"I don't know of any other industry where people go out in public and say they're not going to follow the law," Weinstein, whose group provides care to AIDS patients, said last week.

WIDENING THE CAMPAIGN

City officials were still wrestling with how to enforce the condom mandate, which is set to go into effect in 90 days.

Paul Audley, president of FilmL.A., a nonprofit hired by the city to oversee television and film productions, said his office normally has Los Angeles police handle enforcement when problems arise with permitted shoots.

But Audley said last week that he has told city leaders he believes workers with health licenses would be best able to make sure adult film performers use condoms. He said his office and representatives from Cal-OSHA would soon meet to discuss how the new city mandate should be enforced. "No one's answered that question yet," he said.

Weinstein said, "We think it makes the most sense to job out this responsibility to an outside agency, like a nursing agency."

FilmL.A. hands out under 500 permits a year for adult movie shoots, Audley said. But some estimates put the number of adult films shot in the Los Angeles region at 50,000 a year, he said.

Not all productions need a permit -- such as those taking place in a soundstage -- and some shoots are done illegally. "We really don't have a way to tell where they may be filming illegally somewhere," Audley said.

Now that it has succeeded in having the City Council adopt the condom measure, AIDS Healthcare is widening its campaign by pushing for a November ballot initiative that would force porn producers to obtain a public health permit from Los Angeles County officials. The permit is similar to what barber shops must receive, said Ged Kenslea, a spokesman for AIDS Healthcare.

If that county measure passes, it would increase the burden on porn producers to follow state law and use condoms on sets, Kenslea said. It would also stop producers within Los Angeles city limits, including porn hub the San Fernando Valley, from moving shop to neighboring communities to avoid using condoms, Weinstein said.

Porn producers have been critical of the condom mandate.

Steven Hirsch, the co-chairman and founder of adult film company Vivid Entertainment, said his company has a "condom-optional" policy and leaves it up to performers.

"Consumers have said overwhelmingly that they would prefer to watch movies without condoms," Hirsch said last week.

While over 80 percent of the U.S. porn industry is based in Los Angeles, where performers are regularly tested for sexually transmitted diseases, productions could move to other states or countries due to the condom mandate, he said.

Georgia man gets prison time for making child porn ... with Photoshop

[Monica Foster commentary: I'm glad to see that authorities are finally beginning to realizing that the DEPICTION of children in a pornographic sense is not just wrong but should have harsh legal consequences. I have been stating for around 2 years now (click here for a broadcast about this issue and skip to the 34min 30sec mark) that Will RYder aka Jeff Mullen should be CONVICTED and serve JAIL TIME for DEPICTING minors in his adult movies (Cindy Brady in Not the Bradys XXX and Rudy and Not the Cosbys XXX) - this year I will be taking steps along with others who understand that child porn is wrong to ensure that Ryder / Mullens actions ARE ADDRESSED in the COURT OF LAW.]

courtesy clatl.com

Yesterday, a federal judge sentenced Dirk LaPaglia to six years in prison (and ten years of supervised release after that) for taking not-pornographic pictures of girls in his Johns Creek neighborhood, and then using Photoshop to make porn out of them.

U.S. Attorney Sally Yates' office described the images thusly ...

[Police found in La Paglia's home] a cache of photos that [he] had created by combining photos of neighborhood women and girls with pornographic images. The police seized LaPaglia's computer for further examination. On the computer, they found a collection of over 600 images depicting the faces/upper torsos of neighborhood girls morphed onto the naked bodies of other females engaged in various explicit sex acts. Authorities have identified at least two dozen victims of this conduct — actual minor females who lived in LaPaglia's neighborhood or adjacent communities.
LaPaglia's other activities ...


The examination of the computer also revealed that LaPaglia had clandestinely entered several neighbors’ homes, found the girl’s bedroom, placed the girl’s undergarments on the girl’s bed, and then filmed himself engaging in auto-erotic behavior.

Yikes. BUT, six years in prison for making porn with Photoshop? Granted, it's completely gross. Totally inappropriate, and I'm sure the girls whose pictures he used feel incredibly violated. But six years in prison?

Robert McBurney, who prosecuted the case, called the sentence "meaningful and deterrent."

Thoughts?

Porn actors must wear condoms, LA votes

(CBS/AP) Condoms are the newest addition to the cast of the porn industry. The Los Angeles City Council tentatively approved Tuesday an ordinance that requires porn actors to wear condoms during film shoots.

PICTURES - Derrick Burts: HIV-positive porn actor calls for condom use

The council voted 11-1 for the proposal, but the ordinance will need a second vote next week for final approval.

Under the ordinance, porn producers would have to provide and require the use of condoms on set in order to obtain permits to film in the nation's second-largest city.

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation has long fought for mandatory condom use in adult films, but an initiative has never been approved. Approval of this ordinance would be a first.

"This long struggle to move us to a place of making Los Angeles a safe place to make adult films has taken a huge leap forward today," said foundation President Michael Weinstein.

The Free Speech Coalition is not as supportive. The porn industry's trade association, the organization issued a statement criticizing the vote and the incursion of government into sex films.

"Government regulation of filmmaking would likely undermine existing health and safety efforts and industry standards that are effective as well as take the government into dangerous new territory," said Diane Duke, coalition executive director.

According to Duke, the porn industry has a low rate of sexually transmitted disease and there has been no transmission of HIV in the industry in five years. The most recent HIV scare in the industry came when a male performer initially tested HIV positive, but retesting revealed he was free of the disease in September 2011, she said.

Porn actor Derrick Burts was diagnosed HIV-positive in December 2010 after working in gay and straight porn for a few months. Burts said he contracted the disease through those performances, but Duke believes he contracted HIV outside the workplace.

Burts denies those allegations and called the council vote Tuesday "a huge, huge step in the right direction."

The ordinance doesn't involve just the government, though. The council also agreed to form a group comprised of law enforcement, state occupational safety regulators, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and other stakeholders to hammer out how to enforce the new rules. The council also voted unanimously to drop a lawsuit filed by the city attorney against foundation's proposed ballot measure.

Although the Free Speech Coalition opposes mandatory condom regulations, it favors consistently testing adult film performers for sexually transmitted diseases.

According to the CDC, latex condoms are "highly effective" at preventing HIV transmission, and have been shown to reduce the risk of other sexually transmitted diseases including, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. A lesser degree of protection is provided for genital ulcer diseases -including herpes and syphilis - or HPV, because these infections may be transmitted by exposure to areas that are not covered or protected by the condom.

Cutting Edge Testing: A New and Better Test for the Adult Industry

Will Supreme Court Bring Porn To Broadcast TV?

www.forbes.com

The Supreme Court on Tuesday is scheduled to hear arguments on a case that could dramatically change the rules regarding indecency and profanity and, conceivably, open the way to X-rated content on broadcast television. Yes, I know that seems like an overstatement today, but broadcasters will do anything for a buck. I know, I’ve been one. Just wait-and-see.

Broadcasters allege the Federal Communications Commission is violating the First Amendment by imposing fines for on-air indecency. The case relates to fines issued for expletives uttered on awards shows by Nicole Richie and Cher on FoX and a scene involving a nude actress on NYPD Blue, broadcast by ABC television.

The two networks, joined by NBC and CBS, are asking the court to overturn a 34-year-old ruling that allows the FCC to regulate broadcast profanity and indecency. Cable and satellite television and the Internet are outside the FCC’s control, however, and that is part of the problem.

The networks say, with justification, that the rule isn’t fair. And even if it was fair three decades ago, changes in how television content is delivered have changed how the medium is used. Back then, the FCC used the justification that radio and television were “uniquely accessible to children” and had a “uniquely pervasive presence in the lives of all Americans.”

It is hard to say either of those still exist, certainly not like they did in 1978. The fines are based on the court’s ruling in a case that sanctioned a radio station for broadcasting the late George Carlin’s “Seven Dirty Words” routine.

Quoted by Bloomberg, the American Civil Liberties Union is supporting the broadcasters:

‘It just doesn’t make sense to say one rule applies to everything else and then say one special rule applies to broadcast television,’ said Steven Shapiro, legal director of the ACLU.

If the ruling falls, the very real danger is that broadcast television will become rife with the nudity and profanity — including 24-hour adult channels — that already inhabit cable, satellite and the Internet. While I don’t have a problem with that, in limited doses, but believe we need some safe harbors for family viewing and the FCC should be the enforcer.

Former FCC Chairman Michael Powell shares my belief that cable and satellite content should also be subject to FCC enforcement, telling Bloomberg:

‘I’ve always been deeply troubled by the way the First Amendment changes when you change channels.’

Powell is now president of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, the cable industry trade group. I wonder if his members would be pleased if FCC indecency and profanity rules applied to them?

The FCC and Obama administration are defending the ruling, on the basis that parents still look to broadcast television as safe viewing for children and families. The administration has told the court that the expansion of non-regulated content actually makes the regulated content more important.

Remember the Fairness Doctrine?
If the FCC loses here — as I expect — it will be the biggest change in broadcast content regulation since enforcement of the Fairness Doctrine, which required broadcasters to present both sides of controversial issues, stopped in 1987. With that wall torn down, the way was opened for right-wing talk radio to populate, first, dying AM radio stations and then go mainstream.

Others dispute this, but I trace today’s hyperpartisian political climate to the ability of the right to use radio and TV to organize, cheerlead and whip people into a conservative frenzy. When the Fairness Doctrine was in play, Rush Limbaugh — as he now exists — was impossible because of the FCC requirement to present both sides. Indeed, a program could cover the same topics that conservative radio does today, but without the partisan host and with both sides on at the same time. That can make for pretty boring radio, at least compared to the conservative hosts.

How will the Supreme Court rule?
The Court has already struck down restrictions on violent video games, political spending and prescription drug marketing. It seems logical that the indecency and profanity rule will go away, too.

It seems odd that a majority conservative court would support indecency and profanity, but if violent video games for children are OK, what isn’t? (I would make the case violence is more damaging to kids and society generally than nudity or profanity, but that’s for another column.)

My prediction: Ruling falls and slowly the TV networks will come to fully mimic their cable, satellite and Internet cousins. While I don’t expect ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox to go to overnight porn, it would surprise me if some enterprising independent broadcaster did not. Especially if it could be done on a secondary channel. I am not clear on how easy it would be to prevent accidental viewing of this content.

In mainstream programming, I’d expect to see a great increase in somewhat vulgar talk and a big increase in near-nudity. Not so much sex, but a sexed-up “Pole Dancing With The Stars” and other game and reality shows.

Many will think ‘more sex on TV’ is a good thing and I don’t object so much on moral grounds — watch whatever you want — but I think an excess cheapens culture and reduces quality of life.

And if this ruling falls, will tobacco advertising soon return to the airwaves? Hard liquor ads start showing up? Corporate freedom of speech, you know…

If you want to know more, here’s a link to an excellent Washington Post story.

Safe sex in the porn industry

courtesy LAtimes.com

The city attorney should drop his legal effort to block L.A.'s initiative requiring condom use among adult-film actors. If the Legislature won't act, the ballot process should go forward.

City Atty. Carmen Trutanich has gone to court to block a proposed Los Angeles city initiative requiring performers in adult films to use condoms on the set. His motivations make sense — he believes that the ballot measure, even if adopted, would infringe on state regulatory power and would be struck down in court; he wants to save the city from the needless expense of conducting a special election, and perhaps the additional cost of defending a purportedly unenforceable new ordinance. But the signatures are gathered, the exclusivity of state jurisdiction is in question, and the people should be able to vote. Trutanich should back off and let the measure go forward.

At issue is a petition campaign by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which is seeking a Los Angeles ordinance that makes condom use a condition of obtaining a city film permit for adult movies. The measure has qualified for the next available ballot, which turns out to be the June 5 primary. Los Angeles would have to buy a place on the county's ballot. The cost could be more than $4 million.

Trutanich's lawyers say the ordinance would be vulnerable in court because the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health already regulates workplace safety — and already has a regulation in place requiring the use of condoms on adult film locations. But Cal/OSHA's lawyer has said the Los Angeles law would not impinge on his agency's jurisdiction, which is limited to employer-employee relationships. Film performers are generally contract workers, not employees.

Performers in adult films should be required to use condoms to protect themselves and others against the spread of HIV and AIDS. Enforceable state regulation would make the most sense; it would be preferable to see such a law adopted by the Legislature. Local rule-making simply encourages businesses — including porn moviemakers — to pull up stakes and move to adjacent cities, taking their permit fees and business taxes with them. That seems likely to be the case here, as locations abound on the periphery of Los Angeles.

But sometimes cities must take the lead, even in workplace safety regulation, because Sacramento may lack the will or interest to protect workers. Los Angeles banned smoking in restaurants and bars to protect not merely the comfort of patrons but the health and safety of staff who otherwise were inhaling carcinogens each day. The move pressed the state to finally catch up.

Whether this is likewise an area in which the city should lead is open to question — but that now is a question that should be answered by the voters. The right to petition and vote is paramount. The city attorney should drop his suit, the City Council should do what it must to secure a spot on the June ballot, and opponents can make their arguments against a local condom requirement for film permits in the accustomed time and place — during the campaign.
