Adult Web Hosting – SEATTLE, WA — MiKandi has announced that developers can now release applications with in-app billing, powered by MiKandi Gold. In-app billing allows developers a way  to introduce customers to premium content on the mobile phone. The company’s latest product launch enables developers and adult content producers to sell additional content within applications, such as video clips or game levels, in affordable chunks that appeal to customers, the company said.

“In-app billing has been long anticipated by the Android developer community,” the company said. “Customers are voting with their dollars on other mobile platforms, indicating that in-app billing is crucial to an app developer’s quiver of revenue tools.” As part of the launch, PinkTV is releasing its own app, which integrates MiKandi’s latest API.

“At PinkTV, we’ve been very excited about in-app billing because we know that our customers want a taste before they buy,” said Bryan Clinger of PinkTV.

“This allows us to enable taste tests in a seamless manner and MiKandi’s speed in launching this is impressive, considering how long it’s taken other app platform providers.”

Industry analysts Juniper Research forecast that revenues from in-app/in-game purchases will overtake the traditional pay-per-download model as the primary source of monetization by 2013.

“At MiKandi, we believe that our job is to make developers money and to make customers happy,” said Jesse Adams, MiKandi’s co-founder and president. “In-app billing satisfies both of these goals, particularly in the adult space.”

MiKandi said it is confident that in-app billing will provide a substantial boost to the earnings power of its developers.

Existing MiKandi developers are invited to begin integrating the API and new developers can register for a free MiKandi developer account at http://developer.mikandi.com.

Adult Web Hosting – LOS ANGELES — In response to the so-called “War on Pornography” being waged by special interest groups demanding Internet censorship and Congressional interference with Constitutionally-protected speech, the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has sent a letter to the U.S. Congress and the U.S. and state Attorneys General offering a counterpoint to the organized anti-porn phone-in and letter-writing campaign.

According to ASACP CEO Joan Irvine, proactive steps needed to be taken to provide a balanced view of the complex issues and passionate debates surrounding the legitimate adult entertainment industry; the nebulous notion of “obscenity;” and the need to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented materials.

“I read in the Amarillo Globe-News that Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Reps. Mike McIntyre, D-N.C., and Randy Forbes, R-Va., have drafted a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder requesting that he begin vigorously prosecuting illegal adult pornography producers and distributors under existing obscenity laws,” Irvine stated. “In my email to Congressional legislators and Attorneys General, I informed them that ‘there is no need for this action, since the legal adult entertainment industry is not involved in obscenity.’”

“ASACP can prove that the adult entertainment industry has taken steps to protect children from being in and viewing age-restricted content,” Irvine added. “The adult industry is just that — ‘by and for adults.’”

Since 1996 ASACP has operated a child pornography (CP) reporting hotline. An analysis of data compiled from more than 400,000 reports of suspected child pornography received by its hotline during a five-year period provides a deeper understanding of the scope and context of online CP (www.asacp.org/whitepaper/ASACP-whitepaper-9-10-2010.pdf).

ASACP launched the Restricted To Adults (RTA) label in 2006. The success of this initiative shows that proactive steps taken by the adult entertainment industry, coupled with technology and parental supervision of children’s Internet and mobile use, is a highly effective means of keeping kids from age-restricted material (www.rtalabel.org/rtapaper/rta-label-paper-final.pdf).

According to Tim Henning, ASACP’s VP of Technology and Forensic Research, more than 4.5 million adult websites currently use the RTA label, accounting for the bulk of professional sites. “There are more than 20 billion monthly hits to pages labeled with RTA,” Henning stated, adding that “the majority of sites have self-labeled with RTA including the 20 percent of adult sites that generate approximately 80 percent of all adult Internet traffic.” Henning noted that this rapid adoption of RTA stopped U.S. legislation for mandatory labeling, adding that “If parents have installed parental filtering software and/or setup the built-in features available in Microsoft and Apple operating systems, then RTA blocks children from viewing age-restricted content.”

For its dedication and efforts, ASACP and its RTA labeling initiative have received widespread support from business leaders and trade associations, governments and civic organizations.

At a recent Free Speech Coalition (FSC) press conference, Pink Visual President Allison Vivas commented on the industry’s support for ASACP, stating that “This is a group whose entire purpose is to help protect children and which has been recognized by the U.S. Congress.” On the Andre Controversa radio show, FSC Executive Director Diane Duke praised the adult industry’s filtering system, which prevents children from accessing its content. Duke reinforced the timely message by blogging at XBIZ, “The adult entertainment industry has always supported efforts to improve child Internet safety, especially greater parental involvement in filtering and supervising their children’s use of the Internet.” At the time of its launch, AVN’s Paul Fishbein foresaw the value of this unique tool for self-regulation, “not only to the parents themselves, but to the adult webmaster community, which can now have less fear of government action against them, and to the government itself, which can now rest a little easier knowing that the adult industry is taking important steps to prevent unwitting web surfers from inadvertently accessing material which they would not want to see and which might not be appropriate for them.”

These leaders referred to ASACP’s advanced online child protection technology and RTA. The website – RTALABEL.org – has recently been translated into French, German, and Spanish to address the needs of international consumers and website owners.

“Thanks to the support of the industry, ASACP has been able to create a free and easy-to-use label to designate content for adults-only,” Irvine stated. “The movie industry has MPAA, the video gaming industry has ESRB, and the adult industry has its own label with RTA.”

The ASACP RTA program was also honored by the American Society of Association Executives by being named the overall winner of the 2008 Associations Make a Better World award. ASACP has received Certificates of Recognition from the U.S. House of Representatives, the California State Senate, California State Assembly, and the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego, among others, all of which acknowledged ASACP’s efforts to help parents prevent their children from viewing age-restricted content.

The association educates the public through an ongoing series of Public Service Announcements, available on its YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/ASACPRTA). The most recent RTA PSA, first aired at the 2011 AVN Awards Show, featured star performers Riley Steele and Tori Black.

“By bridging the needs of parents, industry, regulators and other stakeholders,” Irvine concluded, “ASACP strives to make a profound societal difference that protects children and underscores the legitimacy of the adult entertainment industry — and which lessens the need for governmental involvement.”

Adult Webmaster News – SAN DIEGO, CA — Corbin Fisher on Monday filed a copyright infringement and civil conspiracy suit against 95 BitTorrent users who are alleged to have pirated one video over a one-day span. The suit outlines how the alleged Corbin Fisher uploaders and downloaders traded the video, whose title wasn’t named in the suit.

The defendants in the suit are named as a group — Swarm of Nov. 16, 2010, Sharing Hash File A3E6F65F2E3D67200A5908F64ED55 B66A080B8 — as well as unnamed John Does. Corbin Fisher claims defendant Doe No. 1 was the first who uploaded the filed on Nov. 16 at 12:08 a.m., while the last defendant, named Doe No. 95, infringed on Nov. 16. at 11:30 p.m.

The suit describes the length of time between each of the 95 defendants’ transactions on a BitTorrent network, typically ranging from seconds to 45 minutes.

“The life cycle of a file shared using BitTorrent begins with just one individual — the initial propogator, sometimes called a ‘seed’ user or ‘seeder,’” the suit says. “The initial propogator intentionally elects to share a file with a torrent swarm. The original file, in this case, contains [Corbin Fisher] copyrighted work.”

The suit goes on to call the users in the swarm thieves and that “in the BitTorrent world, there is honor among thieves,” who ultimately are rewarded with preserved network speeds.

“Because of the nature of the collective swarm downloads, every infringer is — and by necessity together — simultaneously both stealing [Corbin Fisher's] copyrighted material an redistributing it,” the suit said.

The suit was filed at U.S. District Court in San Diego by attorney Marc Randazza.

Adult Hosting – LOS ANGELES, CA — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection has announced the release of its latest public service announcement for the Restricted to Adults website label, featuring Riley Steele and Tori Black. The PSA features Black and Steele reminding companies to protect children and to protect their business by labeling with RTA.

It may now be viewed on the ASACP YouTube Channel. The ongoing RTA PSA series features performers and adult industry leaders discussing the need for proactive responsibility and the use of the RTA meta-label. Previous RTA PSAs have featured Ron Jeremy, Stormy Daniels, Sunny Leone, Chi Chi LaRue, Tera Patrick, Kayden Kross and Kristen Price, Allison Vivas, Catalina Cruz and Mickey Bojcsik.

“We are very grateful to Riley Steele and Tori Black for donating their time and energy to make this newest PSA for RTA possible,” ASACP CEO Joan Irvine said.

“The award-winning RTA label was made possible due to the generous support of the adult entertainment industry — and we appreciate this continued support, which allows us to expand the reach of RTA by raising awareness and encouraging labeling through these valuable public service announcements.”

RTA is the adult entertainment industry’s proactive initiative to protect children from viewing age-restricted content and was developed by ASACP out of a need for an easy-to-use and internationally recognized labeling system that designates content for adults only.

The RTA label is composed of a unique string of meta-data that is easily inserted into the coding of any website. Parental filtering software recognizes this label, preventing children from viewing adult content. The RTA label is free and universally available.
