Eon McKai & Company Kick Off Vivid-Alt Website


Cyberspace (and beyond)--Director, producer and alt-porn darling Eon McKai wants to put the punk back into porn. And with his recent partnership with Vivid Video to create Vivid-Alt, he and his deviant buddies plan to do just that.

"There's tons of kids who listen to emo, punk rock, goth or drum and bass and there's no smut for us," McKai says.

McKai launched a promotional website for the new Vivid brand last week. The site features info on upcoming releases, Vivid-Alt starlets and directors Dave Naz and Octavio Winkitiki.

"This website sells you nothing," says their mission statement. "We just want you to know who we are and what we are doing."

No End In Sight For 2257 Inspections


Chatsworth, CA--According to a report by Mark Kerns in Adult Video News, Robert Hill Releasing has become the third company in 10 days subjected to the FBI's ongoing 2257 record keeping investigation.

Robert Hill Releasing owner Lynton told AVN that agents showed up at his office and began verifying the ages of performers from apparently random titles in their extensive specialty catalog. The agents did not show Lynton a warrant.

"They just showed their badges and indicated what they were here for," Lynton said.

Preliminary reports have suggested that the FBI has compiled a list of up to 23 adult video companies who they intend to investigate over the next several weeks or even months. Lynton told AVN that agents said they expect established adult companies to be in compliance with the federal record keeping laws.

"Ours are in order, as far as we can tell," Lynton said. "Everything seems to be going as smooth as possible right now. The gentlemen weren't coming in here busting doors down. They were very pleasant. They brought their copy machines and they're copying IDs and all of the paperwork."
