Altporn Gossip

Just a quickie: the government has dropped its case against Chad Grant (aka “Satan”), programmer and co-siteop of DeviantNation. A second trial was held in the past couple weeks, and this one also resulted in a non-unanimous jury decision in Grant’s favor (which, if I remember my episodes of Perry Mason properly, would result in a mistrial).

• Part of the unfinished GodsGirls.com site was left open to the public, and hilarity ensued when it was discovered that the model application and model profile templates said stuff like “Why do you want to be a SuicideGirl?” For your enjoyment, here’s a 2MB zip archive of the files:
  • Mirror 1
  • Mirror 2
  • Mirror 3
  • Mirror 4

  The model profiles are filled in with mockup content that seems to be from the coders that the GG conglomerate hired to do the work. Almost all the profiles have this piece of text in them:

  Digitela Web Development Company – is the team of developers and designers with extensive experience in website designing, developing, ongoing support, graphic design, flash development, 3d modelling and animation, branding, graphic design, multimedia, print production, logo design and a wide range of custom web development and custom software development (anything from simple applications to full-scale network projects including database planning, promo website development and website promotion

  A few weeks ago, the Digitela site was up, but it seems to be gone now (Google cache, Archive.org cache). Digitela is also mentioned on Raves.com as a partner — Raves.com being a site Annaliese apparently worked on previously, and is associated with Gavin Lloyd’s Offworld Media Group, the owners of GodsGirls LLC.

  One also has to wonder what the fuck they were doing, if this is all they had done after months of work.

• Dia, who used to be all about telling everyone how SG tried to assrape Deviant Nation’s main programmer Chad Grant, apparently has been threatening Mr. Grant with legal action over some kind of perceived slights. She may have contacted the FBI about these things. The whole thing seems pretty sad, honestly, but it does consistent with the impression I had that Dia was WAY too obsessed with SG (but shit, that could be said about a lot of people).
• Models: certain altporn sites may be considering affiliate programs where their partners host the images, not them. This means that under current 2257 laws, the model’s personal info (including legal name, address, probably a copy of driver’s license, etc.) would need to be provided to those partners. Might wanna ask about their plans — and make sure it’s spelled out in your contract — before signing over your pictures to that awesome punk rock porn site on your Myspace friends list.
