MENLO PARK, Calif. — A top legal analytics firm released a report yesterday confirming that two adult companies — Strike 3 Media and Malibu Holdings — are responsible for the bulk of all copyright litigation in federal courts between 2018 and 2020.

Legal analytics specialists Lex Machina and LexisNexis issued their comprehensive “Copyright and Trademark Litigation Report” surveying trends in federal district court between 2018 and 2020.

Strike 3 Media is the copyright holder for Vixen Media Group, whose brands include Vixen, Blacked and Tushy. Malibu Media is currently a beleaguered company behind the X-Art brand. Malibu pioneered the practice of filing numerous copyright infringement lawsuits in the hope of leading to settlements, the same strategy that is currently being pursued by Strike 3.

“Copyright filings peaked in 2015 and 2018 due to large numbers of file sharing cases,” Yahoo! Finance reported yesterday. “There was a drop-off in filings between 2019 and 2020, likely due to the pandemic, as well as a drop-off in case filings by the Liebowitz Law Firm.”

“The top two copyright plaintiffs, Strike 3 Holdings, LLC and Malibu Media, LLC are adult film companies accusing defendants of pirating their content,” the report continued. “The most active plaintiffs’ law firm in copyright cases was Fox Rothschild with 1,993 cases, due to a large number of file sharing cases filed on behalf of Strike 3 Holdings, LLC in 2018.”

“Copyright cases terminated with a settlement 82% of the time, one of the largest proportions of settlements in any Lex Machina practice area,” the report stated.

Lincoln Bandlaw, the Fox Rothschild partner who handled the Strike 3 cases, left to form his own eponymous boutique law firm during the period survey. Bandlaw continues representing Strike 3 in ongoing litigation against alleged copyright infringers.

Coming in at a distant third behind Strike 3 and Malibu Media is Joe Hand Productions, copyright holders for PPV boxing events.

LOS ANGELES — Voodoo Toys has unveiled a new limited-edition collection of Pride Month “sex-positive merchandise” in collaboration with Los Angeles-based designer Unlikely Fox (aka Krysta Grasso). 

A rep described Fox as “a talented mixed-media artist who creates pieces which move the social conversation forward and exude unapologetic divine feminine energy.”

“Fox’s work captures the eye through three-dimensional color and texture, appearing to literally come to life as they cascade off their canvas,” the rep said. “Fox uses phrases that exude unapologetic divine feminine energy one stitch at a time. Her work was first discovered by Spellman at the Los Angeles Reparations Club, a marketplace located in Mid-City. The Reparations Club is a store and creative space curated by Black people for Black people.”

Her design process was captured for Voodoo in images by Cara Taylor, a local L.A. content creator.

All profits from the collab will support both Fox’s work as the L.A. Black Workers Center, noted the rep, whose mission is to “increase access to quality jobs, reduce employment discrimination and improve industries that employ Black workers through action and unionization.”

Fox designed three limited-edition, hand-embroidered tote bags for Voodoo emblazoned with the sayings, “Don’t Hate, Masturbate,” “Pride in Pleasure” and “I Cum First.” The designs have been reproduced and screen-printed on T-shirts and caps, in addition to totes.

“This collaboration is rooted in love and expression. Equal opportunity and representation is a vital step in the process of including Black creatives in every space,” Voodoo’s Content Creation Manager Aspen Spellman said.

“There’s nothing I love more than sex,” said Collins. “What can I say? I’m a nympho!”

“A lot of people I went to school with were surprisingly supportive in my path, I think mostly because I got my out and did it without the typical white picket fence upbringing,” the Hussie-repped Collins told Luis Fernando from the Spanish language blog GarnaShadow. “Being able to work as an adult performer has totally changed my life around. Everybody has some days they just can’t seem to bring themselves to go to work, being able to control my schedule and take the days off that I need to refresh myself has made the biggest difference in my work longevity.”
