What happen why the delay on update and new releaes?

Copyright Violations, the War and Our Army: After releasing Christmas Wish 2010 with great success, we were gearing up for 2011 releases, new crew members and shoots.   DVD #64 Boss and Brad Men on a Mission was set for a January 29, 2011, a film that would definitely get some attention. But our plans to release that DVD and others were delayed until now. A problem called copyright violation had to be dealt with before anything further was released. Violating a producers copyright (mine in this case), in plain english, means assholes "rats" who attempt to copy, rip off, and/or post or distribute our movies in part or in full without my permission. These are people who steel and share parts or ALL of some movies not with the intent to promote us and help increase our business but to cheat us out of what keeps us in business; which is much needed money for future productions and crew members. It also cheats us of our exclusivity and the discretion that makes current and future crew members want to film with us. The key word is FUTURE, if that was not dealt with and brought under control the future of our films, and the entire industry wouldn't look too good.

I was made aware of certain thieves by loyal watchful eyes and given a short list of places our copyright was being violated by theives. These loyal watchful eyes are what we call “soldiers” in “The Muscle Mafia Army;” our own secret service that looks out for us and protects our interests.  “The Army” is something I never spoke about before but has developed over the years by itself; buyers of our movies who are everywhere.  They are in places we can’t always be and give us the heads up when some weasel copies a DVD and unlawfully posts without my permission.

The Beast: Yeah I get it, it’s the nature of the beast in this business and it is not unique to us but it seems that because our stuff is in such demand and so exclusive it takes on a different thrill for some lonely soles.  It also speaks about the success and the demand for our movies; who ripps of garbage.  In the past “The Army” told us about it, it was rubbed out, removed and we moved on.  But, attempting to rip off our movies, something that truly hurts our organization is just not funny anymore.  The bigger we get, the more movies we make, the more people want to see our movies…the more rats who try to get over.  If you are watching these stolen movies or clips you are just as bad as those who ripped it off.

Time and resources wasted to catch rats: So, I made an immediate decision to put all production, all updates and all scheduled releases on hold until I was able to work with our techs to set some mouse traps and catch these rats!
So catch them we did, after great ingenuity and great expense we have many new security features in place to curtail movie thieves and set off “alarms”. Testing and rolling out these new features took almost 2 months to accomplish if I wanted to keep the websites up and still be able to deliver movies to you. Most of the major changes we made were seamless and unnoticed by you because of our planning.  Other than a few who had intermittent issues with download and streams during these upgrades, it went smooth and it’s in place; and will be ongoing.

New servers and new applications collect information on any breach or security. This information is only necessary if someone is doing something dishonest and is used to confront the thieves directly or to provide the information to the web masters and owners of sites where rats hang out and attempt to post stolen content.  These sites, by law MUST comply and MUST obey international copyright laws and remove the unauthorized use and posting of our films; most respectful legitimate sites are serious about copyright violations; site owners are giving up names, email addresses and IP numbers of those who do this. Some movie makers choose to ignore it, but as you know we are not like other movie makers and that is why you are here.

Not So Bad..Most People are Honest and Good..I believe 99% of the people who visit our sites and buy our movies are good people who enjoy what we do and keep coming back to watch us keep doing it.  Their intentions are good and they are all for the ongoing success and growth of The Muscle Mafia. It is for those people that we put up with some bullshit and stick around.  It is for those people that we take the time and effort to be sure things are fair to everyone. It is for those people that we protect the exclusivity you pay for and the specialty niche market we created in 2001. There is not doubt that because we stand out and stand alone that our sites and our movies sometimes become a target for thieves and frankly for other sites who have tried and failed to do what we do.

But its not so bad, in fact, it could be worse which is why when I saw a potentional problem I acted quickly, that is what a good "Boss" does! My crew and our movies buyers count on me and that I take seriously.

You’re paying for the freeloaders! So because of the actions of a small few, good people like you suffer; this should piss you off!  We had to divert resources to fight thieves; in the end you are paying for the free loaders. Some planned films have been cancelled and guys who thought about filming are thinking again. Think of that next time you casually pass a stolen clip or movie.

How do you stop this, you make it difficult if not near impossible for these content thieves to post or distribute stolen content.  Bascially we do what we can to set traps and fill in cracks where rats get in. DVDs are the biggest culprit which makes me consider eliminating DVDs all together because of it.  That means DVD Collectors will suffer. Others have tried, and have been caught trying to “rip” movies from our online theaters. Even some good buyers occasionally trip security features and get blocked from viewing movies, so I have to turn off the alarm and give them their access manually; that's fucking annoying to good buyers.
