Considering the amount of scrutiny the adult industry receives from the government and the media, it behooves video producers and content providers to run their businesses ethically. At AVN, we always felt that protecting the working conditions of the performers was of paramount importance, but difficult to monitor. So the formation of BPAV is a good thing that I hope will encourage people to ensure better conditions for performers and a safe work environment.
Paul Fishbein, President, AVN Publications, Inc.
Tim and I have been in favor of a pan-industry trade association and self-regulatory system. In my opinion, this type of organization, if organized on a foundation of sound philosophical ideals, can have the effect of helping our industry evolve in a healthy way and to preserve our right to engage in the businesses we have built.
Morgan Sommer & Tim Lutz, Cybersocket
We want to take this opportunity to applaud BPAV for it's mission and creation.  We have long felt that what separated our production operations from many of the mainstream companies is EXACTLY the type of issues BPAV is supporting.  Platinum Media practices EVERY aspect of your beliefs, and will be proud to display your logos on our site, box covers and video productions from this point on.
Scott Morgan, President/CEO, Platinum Media Inc.
HellHouse Video supports the BPAV and proudly displays the BPAV seal on our website and in several of our films. The principles of BPAV are principles we are glad to stand for.

I'd like to express my support for Best Practices in Adult Video (BPAV), and tip my hat for taking a leadership role in this very important issue for our industry.  I have already placed the BPAV seal on all of my properties.
Bill, Webmaster, In Gay Porn
This organization is exactly what our industry needs. The public judges our industry as a whole, not as individuals and the actions of a few reflect upon us all. It is definitely our responsibility to self-regulate and (if need be) rid our industry of those who are not willing to stay within certain guidelines. I commend you for taking the lead on this issue and we fully support this [seal].
Dave Gallegos, President, X-Worx, Inc.

Free Speech Coalition heartily supports the five points outlined by BPAV. Best Practices identify values and ethics to guide businesses; promote standards of professionalism; provide a framework for responsibility and accountability; and are the hallmark of a mature industry. In partnership with BPAV and many other industry leaders, FSC intends to expand upon the BPAV points in a new and comprehensive Adult Entertainment Industry Code of Ethics and Best Practices. Look for our first draft before the end of May 2006.

As a relative newcomer to the adult industry I find it refreshing that we as a community can come together and do what needs to be done. I strongly believe self regulation is the key to true freedom of expression. I will proudly display the BPAV logo without the government telling me I have to.
Tom Impellitteri, President/CEO, Luscious Media, LLC
As both talent and a producer/director these past 12 years, as well as a retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. who believes wholeheartedly in character, integrity, responsibility, values and ethics, I strongly support the Best Practices in Adult Video (BPAV). All of us, no matter what our particular roles are in this industry should always be above-board in our professional dealings, as well as off-camera in our everyday actions and personal lives. We should care about others, respect their needs and do everything we can to assist everyone. Many eyes and ears are tuned in to the adult entertainment industry so adherence to BPAV offers us an opportunity to further enhance our professionalism. It also serves as an example to those who value what we say, do and endorse. I strongly support BPAV.
Dave Cummings, President/Owner, Dave Cummings Productions
I think this is a great way to show the world that the adult industry is now mature enough to self regulate. Congratulations to BPAV. We hope that all adult companies will join the movement. Actually, I think that any serious company in our industry should support your motion.
Michael Plant, CEO, QWEBEC Expo
BPAV is a credit to the industry.
Victor Hoff, Owner, VH2 Productions, LLC
As a young and rapidly growing production company, aligning ourselves with BPAV early is not only the right thing to do ethically, it's also a smart business move. Sharing best practices and standards for production with industry leaders will reduce risk, improve our business model and our ability to compete in the future. As the industry changes, being aware and fully engaged is no longer an option for companies that want to be taken seriously. Aces Entertainment Inc. is proud to support BPAV.
Christopher J. Berns, President, Aces Entertainment Inc.
I applaud BPAV for its contribution to the adult industry. We as an industry have to regulate ourselves and make sure that we stay within certain guidelines that give a positive message to the public and the government. We must not become what most of the public think we are. If we run our businesses ethically we will not have to fight so hard to survive and be respected among the entertainment community.
Taylor Wane, CEO, Taylor Wane Entertainment Inc.
