CANOGA PARK, Calif. -
Freedom Streams '07, the second annual fundraiser for the
Free Speech Coalition scheduled for this Sunday,
has announced the participation of over 300 movie studios.
In addition to returning contributors such as Caballero,
Elegant Angel, Gourmet Video and Pleasure Licensing, FSC's
partner in the venture,
HotMovies.com, has welcomed a
healthy batch of newcomers to the event including Anabolic,
Combat Zone, Evasive Angles and Vivid
Entertainment Group.
"The outpouring of support has been tremendous," said Scott
Lowther, director of membership development and services for
the FSC. "The word is that many new studios have decided to
contribute this year. We expect to raise substantially more
money then we did last year to continue our important fight,
which really is so vital to us all."
Staff from FSC and HotMovies, the heavyweight
pay-per-minute, video-on-demand site, worked together last
year to develop and implement FreedomStreams '06.
Participating studios donated one day's HotMovies earnings to
the FSC and HotMovies.com matched all contributions, dollar
for dollar. This year they will do the same this Sunday.
The HotMovies marketing team advertises FreedomStreams
across their site network and encourages customers to get
their rocks off in the name of personal freedom by watching
movies created by the participating studios. To ensure that
minutes are being used to support the FSC, customers are
routed to a special VOD website, FSCvod.com. All participating
studios can be found on this website.
According to HotMovies, FreedomStreams '06 garnered the
participation of over 230 HotMovies.com studios and raised
nearly $10,000 for FSC's ongoing fight against attempts to
cripple the adult industry.
Following the new court rulings of a week ago, Lowther
pointed out that it is as crucial as ever to come together as
an adult community. "Our outstanding legal team would not be
able to do what it is doing without the support of
HotMovies.com and all the producers who contribute through
events like this one and their memberships with the FSC," he
said.
Producers who have not yet contacted HotMovies.com to sign
up still have time to participate. Call or e-mail Jesse at
(800) 611-MOVIE or jesse@guesswho.com. If you are not yet a
FSC member, contact Lowther at 866-FSC-9373 to sign up.
