Free Speech Coalition to Host Town Hall About EARN IT Act

Free Speech Coalition to Host Town Hall About EARN IT Act

LOS ANGELES — Free Speech Coalition (FSC) will host a town hall discussion this Thursday addressing the EARN IT Act, which recently passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and is potentially headed toward a full vote in the Senate.

The FSC statement announcing the Town Hall follows:

FSC invites all industry stakeholders who want to learn more about the bill itself, what’s being done by FSC and allies and what can be done on an individual level to fight back. 

“While supposedly targeting illegal content, the likely effect of the EARN IT Act will be widespread deplatforming of adult content online,” said Mike Stabile, director of public relations. “The bill as written would encourage social media sites, search engines, cloud storage and web-hosting companies to stop hosting sex-related content entirely.”

Stabile will moderate the discussion, which will also include First Amendment attorney and FSC Board member Reed Lee, and Clarity Consulting, the lobbying firm which represents FSC in Washington.

FSC’s analysis of the EARN IT Act can be found here.

The town hall will be held online Thursday, 11 a.m. (PST). Industry members who wish to attend should register in advance through this link. Once approved, they will receive an invitation via email.

‘Deep Sleep’ Director Alfred Sole Passes Away

'Deep Sleep' Director Alfred Sole Passes Away

NEW YORK — Alfred Sole, who directed the controversial 1972 adult film “Deep Sleep” — which was investigated by the FBI in its attempt to shut down the nascent adult industry — and then went on to have a successful mainstream career, has passed away at 78.

Sole died on Feb. 14 at his home in Salt Lake City, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The Rialto Report has long championed “Deep Sleep” — Sole’s directorial debut — and re-released over the weekend a lengthy interview with the accomplished filmmaker and production designer, as well as a short film about the making of his pioneering X-rated title and its convoluted legal aftermath.

According to the introduction to the Rialto Report podcast, when Sole decided to make “Deep Sleep,” he “didn’t know much about adult films or the industry, so he shot it in his hometown of Paterson, New Jersey and using a cast and crew made up of friends and family members. This meant that the local lawyer, banker, policeman, high school teachers, funeral home director, the mayor’s wife, even Alfred’s wife and his mother were part of the filmmaking group. It seemed like everyone in Paterson knew someone who was involved in the making of ‘Deep Sleep.’”

And so, the introduction continued, “predictably when it came out, it was a smash hit in New Jersey, with long lines of people breaking box office records trying to get into the theaters to see it. But not everyone was impressed. And what followed was one of the most remarkable and notorious prosecutions of an adult film in American history. First the filmmakers were indicted on a state basis under an ancient anti-fornication statute, and then on a federal level for interstate transportation of pornography. Suddenly Alfred Sole found himself at the center of a storm. He was under attack both from the law and from everyone who’d helped him make the film in the first place.”

Later on, after being forced to pay off a hefty fine to have the case dismissed, Sole found success in Hollywood, and eventually directed the cult horror classic “Alice, Sweet Alice” (1976), wrote for several TV thrillers, and was production designer for popular shows like “Veronica Mars” (from 2004-07), “Castle” (2009-16) and “MacGyver” (2017-19).

“I’m so saddened by the loss of someone I was fortunate enough to call my friend these past 15 years,” wrote the Rialto Report’s Ashley West. “I’m grateful that so much of his creative output is available for audiences to appreciate. And I will keep doing all I can for the story of Alfred Sole and ‘Deep Sleep’ to reach as many people as possible.”

Washington Post Publishes Warning About Current ‘War on Porn’

WASHINGTON — The Washington Post published an opinion piece yesterday offering a cautionary historical perspective on how anti-pornography crusades like the current War on Porn end up harming marginalized groups like sex workers and the LGBTQ+ community.

The opinion piece was penned by Quinn Anex-Ries, an American Studies and ethnicity scholar at the University of Southern California, whose research examines the historical relationship between technology and sexuality.

According to Anex-Ries, in the past two years efforts to ban online pornography have been “growing in strength.”

“High-profile skirmishes over online pornography are microcosms of the broader debate raging over internet regulations,” he wrote. “Large swaths of the American public, along with federal regulators and political pundits, have adopted the view that the internet is unchartered — and untamable — territory. But when it comes to pornography, the debate is anything but new. For over a century, government officials, concerned citizens and erotic media producers have wrestled over the distribution of pornography via platforms ranging from the U.S. mail to the telephone to cable television.”

For the writer, older incarnations of the seemingly never-ending religiously-motivated War on Porn “offer a cautionary note as lawmakers grapple with how to regulate the internet. While proponents historically have sold tools to limit pornography as ways to protect public safety and national morality, multiple generations have wielded them more as weapons against LGBTQ communities and political radicals — with devastating effects.”

Anex-Ries then invoked the name of the founding father of American censorship, “anti-vice” crusader Anthony Comstock, and moved forward through U.S. history to show how anti-porn campaigns have “disproportionately affected the LGBTQ community.”

“More recent efforts to block internet pornography,” he noted, “have also perpetuated these historical exclusions. In 2018, Congress passed a legislative package, FOSTA-SESTA, intended to curb online sex trafficking. While regulators rarely use the law, its passage led many platforms, including Tumblr, Craigslist and eBay, to crack down on a range of consensual pornographic and sexually explicit material. This has had particularly adverse effects on the livelihoods of sex workers and the availability of LGBTQ media.”

Only if lawmakers “work collaboratively with the marginalized communities — including sex workers and LGBTQ people — most frequently subjected to censorship under anti-pornography legislation,” Anex-Ries concluded, will they be able to craft policy solutions “that allow individuals to choose how they encounter pornography online while also preserving free speech rights.”

Saudi Arabia Funds Initiative Against ‘Porn Addiction’

Saudi Arabia Funds Initiative Against 'Porn Addiction'

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has launched a new website as part of a government public health initiative known as “Effah,” which claims to help people “get rid of pornography addiction” in 100 days.

Saud Al Hassani, director of the Effah “psychological counseling program” launched in 2019 by the theocratic, family-ruled kingdom, explained to Gulf media that the new website “will include specialized psychological models and lessons to help get rid of pornography addiction, in addition to a ‘Ten Steps’ program, and a ‘women’s recovery model.’”

Health experts have overwhelmingly debunked the notion of “pornography addiction” as a medical ailment, finding instead a meaningful correlation between religious, shame-based indoctrination about human sexuality, and compulsory behaviors concerning exposure to sexual imagery.

Al Hassani added that the Effah website “offers treatment for porn addiction based on a systematic model and three key pillars: cognitive behavioral therapy, spiritual therapy and a safe support environment” and will eradicate “porn addiction” after 100 days.

Efah is a Quranic name for girls that means “modesty,” “chastity,” “abstaining from all bad things” and “moral excellence.”

“The website will also explain the damaging effects of pornography, and why we have not been able to stop it so far, and will clarify the steps of recovery based on Islamic teachings,” a rep explained. “It will also feature gifts, prizes, interactive weekly meetings for support and assistance, and will share success stories of those who have successfully beaten pornography addiction.”

Echoing religiously motivated anti-porn groups in the U.S. and Europe, Al Hassani said that pornography is “an issue that affects human values, psychological health and productivity and can also lead to fueling harassment and violence.”

The Saudi bureaucrat also claimed that “a third of internet content is pornographic.”

Aliya Brynn Raising Awareness of #WorldSpayDay Tuesday

Aliya Brynn Raising Awareness of #WorldSpayDay Tuesday
 

 

LOS ANGELES — Aliya Brynn is encouraging her fans to spay and neuter their pets to mark World Spay Day 2022 this Tuesday.

Launched in 1995, World Spay Day is an annual campaign that aims to encourage people to save animal lives by spaying and neutering companion animals and feral cats. Brynn, who shares her home with three cats and a dog, is asking fans to tweet about #WorldSpayDay to spread awareness about the importance of neutering one’s companion animals — not only for their health and safety but for the safety of the animals around them and future dogs and kittens that could be born without a home.

“It really makes me sick just how many pets go abandoned around the world every day,” said Brynn. “Please join me in helping raise awareness on World Spay Day by tweeting the #WorldSpayDay hashtag and make sure to spay or neuter your animals to avoid overpopulation.”

“Spay and save a life,” she added.

According to the ASPCA, millions of healthy dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States each year simply because there aren’t enough homes to go around.

Axel Braun Casts Blake Blossom as Spider-Gwen in ‘Spideypool XXX’

LOS ANGELES — Axel Braun has cast Blake Blossom as Gwen Stacy (aka Spider-Gwen) in the director’s latest Wicked Comix superhero parody, “Spideypool XXX.”

The character is described as “a heroine from an alternate Marvel timeline where Gwen Stacy was bitten by a radioactive spider rather than Peter Parker, leading to her masked vigilante career as Spider-Woman, better known as Spider-Gwen.”

“Blake was just phenomenal,” said Braun, who is in his second year serving as head of production for Wicked Pictures.

“Her audition was fantastic, but on set she actually surpassed my expectations. From her look and her acting abilities to her extremely physical take on the character of Gwen, she was simply outstanding, and if that weren’t enough she was also a delight to be around,” he added.

Brain described Blossom as “sexy, funny, thoughtful and 100% committed, not to mention the fact that she possesses the most perfect set of natural boobs in the industry. She absolutely killed it as Spider-Gwen and it doesn’t take a genius to see that this girl has a very bright future ahead of her.”

A Porn and Mainstream First

A rep noted that “Spideypool XXX” will mark the first time Spider-Gwen has been depicted in either a live-action mainstream or adult film.

“While Bryce Dallas Howard portrayed Gwen in Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man 3,’ and Emma Stone assumed the role in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ films with Andrew Garfield,” the rep explained, “Spider-Gwen’s movie appearances have been limited to the animated ‘Spider-Verse’ series, where the character is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld.”

Blossom revealed, “When I first got the call from my agent about a super-secret role in an Axel Braun parody, I was really nervous about what it could possibly be. I was waiting on pins-and-needles to find out if I was going to get this huge role and it couldn’t have panned out better.”

She added that she has always enjoyed the Spider-Man universe and was overjoyed about the chance to play Spider-Gwen.

“I actually did a ton of character research, read a bunch of comics and rewatched all the movies to get a better understanding of what type of girl Gwen is and was,” said Blossom, who shared that her favorite part of the production was her painstakingly designed costume.

“Axel had such a wonderful and precise vision for my character and his attention to detail throughout the whole process was incredible,” she added. “[Costar] Tyler Cruise and I had never worked together before but his version of Peter Parker is hilarious.”

“Being part of this cast was so fun and I hope there’s a Part Two to Gwen’s story,” Blossom concluded.

Seth Gamble, who reprises his XBIZ award-winning role as Deadpool, said the starlet “gives precise form and delicate feeling to emotions and experiences that, despite the comic book specificity of the circumstances, everyone will recognize.”

“She’s a visceral performer and a convincing actress who looks and moves like the Spider-Gwen we all remember from the source material,” Gamble added.

“Spideypool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody” will premiere in 2022 exclusively on Wicked.com.
