JT (jtvideo@hotmail.com) emails me: "Thanks for posting the interview on ur site from sunday. not sure if this is a result of the posting or not, but i was contacted by an FBI agent today! looks like i am the next victim in the record keeping inspections. i cant believe they are bothering doing this. i havent released a video since 1997! they are coming on june 11th. most of the videos i made for sale were in the early 90s! i plan to contact the free speach coalition and paw about this. any advise from you or anyone else in this matter would be welcome."
LOL yeah contact PAW that’ll do a lot of good
Advice, well see it this way you can thank people like Lynton Appleson and Cheim Cohen for their outstanding job in bootlegging other people’s products, now you are ALL raked under one and the same comb.
PAW is the best thing that happened to the adult industry since the VHS tape. The purpose of PAW to help people in need. Just ask Bill Margold. Now that Anita Cannibal is working on her law degree PAW will be offering free legal advice to JT Video and anyone else in need. If you find yourself in jail without bail money, make sure you call Bill Margold collect.
Oops, I forgot, he wont bail you out but he will send you a cute teddy bear which should keep you warm in that cold jail cell. Make sure that you let the other inmate see it because they might think you are a punk but just know that Bill Margold is doing everything he can for you with the money that is left over from PAW donations and after he pays his rent.
IF you got your ‘dicks’ or is it ‘ducks’ in row, why worry?
JT is a harmless guy who always operated under the radar in this industry. Many of his shoots were for private parties and not for sale. Rest were amateur loops made long before the new draconian laws took effect. If the Feds are going after a small fry like this, then they must be running out of big shots to hassle.
the inspection was done this evening,5/31. they did not wait till 6/11. they were outside my apt. when i got home from work! they were only interested in 2 titles, EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH + 4 ROOMS. these are 2 gay titles produced in 1997. i showed them the docs i had. 1 thing i was not expecting they asked for was a spreadsheet. this is a doc created with microsoft excel that can cross reference models real name with stage name and video they are in, birthdate etc. fortunately i created this document years ago and saved it in my computer to show them. if i did not have this, it would have been a violation! they were satisfied with ids/releases/spreadsheet.they had their own copier and copied the ids/releases. they purchased the 2 movies from amvc.com. they had printouts of the disclaimers i recorded at the head of the tapes and the dvd boxcovers. unfortunately they found 2 minor violations. 1 was using a po box or mail drop address for location of records. i knew i was in violation of this but i just never felt comfortable having my home address published and dont have an office to use. 2 was that my normal business hours are not posted and that i dont maintain at least 20 normal business hrs per week. i dont know how to rectify that situation. how does one do that when its just a sideline? they said i would probly not be prosecuted for either violation and the worst would be a fine. they could not tell me what amount the fine would be and that is up to dept of justice. so i seek any advise about violation #2. i disagree with the posters lol about P.A.W. both Bill at P.A.W. and Diane at F.S.C. were helping me with advise all day long.
