SEATTLE, WASHINGTON (November 8, 2005) � AMVC.com, an amateur video production and distribution company, today announced that it will begin phasing out VHS and PAL sales on its site. The company will discontinue selling VHS once its blank media inventory is depleted. The remaining video options at AMVC will continue to be DVD and streaming videos.

�I realize that most other companies jumped on this bandwagon when they saw Blockbuster do it,� says AMVC.com�s co-owner Allen McNulty, �but our VHS sales percentages were just way too high to lose those sales and customers. Now, however, we are seeing a substantially lower percentage of VHS sales vs. our DVD sales, so we feel it�s time to begin phasing it out of our product line.�

I watched the documentary "Inside Deep Throat" last night and am recommending it to our readers. For those of you too young to remember this blockbuster, the film "Deep Throat" was about a woman named Linda LoveLace who had a dilemma to solve....her clitoris was in her throat.

"Inside Deep Throat" documents the emergence of porn into mainstream society. When the video, "Deep Throat", the first "big picture" porn video launched at a movie theatre open to the general public, it (and porn) became the primary focus of government and churche's crusade to shut it all down and arrest everyone. Porn was being grouped with communism in special reports, while celebrities like Jack Nicholson (and every big name in society) lined up for miles to see the film.

There are amazing similarities of the government and religious right's pursuit to shut down porn yesteryear and their continued attempts today. One FBI agent who was interviewed laughingly said, when asked about today's focus on pornography by the FBI, "I guess this means we won the war on terror".

I watched the NC17-rated video on DVD, so I don't know how it compares to the R-rated version. My version had tons of special features that were definitely worth the watch (and were sometimes better than what they chose to include in the actual film).

We decided to take drastic action at AMVC.com and lower prices for all of our videos. Many of our videos are now at $14.95 and we no longer allow any of our amateur producers to price their videos above $29.95.

Our goal here was to compete with the continued increase of pay-per-view and digital downloads. Plus, we figured we should keep AMVC.com as an "amateur videos at amateur prices" type of site. We also wanted to fuck our competition and let our customers and producers reap the rewards :)

Just an FYI for those who might care or be interested: I am working on a blog hosting script that will allow anyone to create their own sex blog. We'll be offering this basic service for free (with our ads on the blog, limited storage, and absolutely no tech support, but it's very user-friendly so that shouldn't be a problem considering this is free :) We'll probably offer a paid upgrade for those who want more...but the free package should suffice for most everyone.

You'll be able to sign up and start posting your own blog entries within a minute or so and everything is very "step-by-step" so even a newbie can figure it out :) We will also ask the AMVC.com producers to start their own sex blog to keep their porn fans updated on their videos, insider secrets, new releases, etc.

I'm about half done. When it's ready, I'll start having friends test it out to help us find any bugs I may have missed. When those are squashed, then we'll announce here and on all of AMVC.com's websites...so bookmark us and check back often!

I got rid of the old blog script and got this nifty new one. I hope you guys like.

Unfortunately, we lost some of the old posts...but not because of the new script but because of the 2257 drama that's ensued. I had some straight producer interviews, but they are no longer with the AMVC.com family (we hope they come back soon!) Therefore, I removed their interviews as they didn't really make sense unless you could go and see their video pics and descriptions (and nowhere to link them to).

Along with the forty billion other things on my plate, I promise to get some juicy insider interviews for you as soon as humanly possible!

The priority items on my list right now are: New shopping cart system (almost done and it's hella cool!), Streaming-Download site (our own, not a 3rd party), selling pics and clips as content to adult webmasters, and an adult blog-hosting site (first for our producers and then to the general public).

I'm also adding a "Personal" category to these blog posts. I've got the "General" but am not sure if that needs to exist or not.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON (August 3, 2005) � AMVC.com an amateur video production and distribution company, today announced that twenty new producers have been added to its site. Amagay, Campus Boys Videos, Factory Video Productions, Hung Punk Videos, IronVideo Productions, Jake's Casting Couch, M&L Friends, SpunkPunk, StriderGuys, and Tiki Boiz are the ten new gay producers. Blue Skies, Bubble Gum Amateurs, Flarez Productions, Joy Productions, Lakeview Entertainment, LSB Productions, NoisProductions, RAJ Entertainment, Sub Radar Productions, and SugarHill Productions are the ten new straight producers.

�Back in the day, I hated the pro videos that were out there,� says AMVC.com�s co-owner Allen McNulty, �but that was all there was.� �Then one day a friend showed me a home video he made with his friend and I remember never feeling that horny before from a porn video. I wondered if there were others out there who would also like the truly homemade-amateur look and feel to a video, so I started making them. And the rest is history�� he adds.

And heading it up is...yes...wait for it..a Democrat. Sen. Blanche Lincoln, an Arkansas Democrat, claims this porn tax will make the internet a "safer place for children" and the bill would impose a 25 percent tax on the revenue of most adult-themed Web sites. But.....will we be passing that bill onto you, the consumer?

As an adult company owner, my first thought and hope is that this is the first time the adult entertainment industry has been "legitimized" and as long as the government is making more money from us then maybe they'll stop riding our collective asses (hey...new video idea right there and you were here when it happened :)

But seriously folks....how in fuck's sake can they say that we're evil, obscene, smelly, God-less, and should be removed from the planet but then impose a tax on us. Doesn't make sense. Christ..I just had a horrible thought. What if they make us state-controlled like liquor. They determine our selling hours, our prices, they run the stores, and no porn on Sundays! teehee.

It's not just the government who take advantage of adult companies though. Yahoo (and others) do the same. Did you know that if you run a non-adult website and want a listing in Yahoo's Directory that it costs you $299.00 for them to bump you to the top of the list (but doesn't guarantee inclusion)? Then it's $299.00 a year "renewal fee". If you're an adult website, it's $699.00 for the bump and then $699.00 every year after. I assume they must have their reasons, but I have no clue what they are (nor does anybody I've ever met). Of course after bitching about it, we paid them the money for our listing :)

Like everything else the government fucks with me about, I'll be keeping my eye on this one too.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON (May 19, 2005) AdultHire.com, a site for models and video producers to meet, today announced that it has changed its pricing plans. Co-owner Allen McNulty stated, "Our pricing plans were all over the board with no rhyme or reason, so we decided to simplify things for everyone by letting the customer choose between a recurring monthly charge of $9.99 or an annual charge of $99.99." The annual subscription allows the producer to feature his or her company and ads.

"We're very proud of how successful AdultHire.com has been", McNulty adds. "Each time we get an email from a producer that he's had great luck finding models from our site, we know we made the right decision when we created it for everyone. Our next step is to offer an affiliate program to webmasters, as well as offering a line of code for webmasters to place on their sites that will rotate a model-of-the-day and/or the newest models who post their pics and resume."

At the time of this press release there are approximately 6700 models and 2800 producers on the site and about several dozen new models joining every day.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON (January 29, 2005) AMVC.com, an amateur video production and distribution company, today announced that seven new producers have been added to its site. Cmenboys, DragonsPride Video, Ty Lattimore Entertainment, Boomerang Video, and ManHandle Media are the five new gay producers, along with Voodoo Media Group and Angelini Media Ltd. as the two new straight producers.. These eight new producers bring AMVC.com's producer/label total to 122 gay producers and 74 straight producers, offering customers a very wide variety of homemade videos from which to choose.

Most major studios slap the word amateur onto their titles when there's nothing at all amateur about them, says AMVC.com's co-owner Allen McNulty. The films listed on AMVC.com, however, are true amateur, homemade videos--no pretense, no pro actors. They might have bad lighting, shaky camera work.things that make some people think of those products as low quality. But what they're missing out on are the millions of people who love that reality. Real people having real sex in real settings. AMVC.com provides amateur producers with a proven forum where they can sell their homemade films to customers who can't get enough of this genre. he adds.
