Someone's Ripping Off The Golden Age Of Porn

The 1980s-era classic adult film Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle is making waves again. Allegedly someone has been hawking bootlegged versions of the cinematic masterpiece, and now the Midtown porn company that owns the rights, Evart Enterprises, has filed suit.

They've targeted Mark Johnston of Florida as the main culprit selling low-quality bootleg DVDs under the company name "Shocking Videos," and they're now seeking $180,000 in damages on the grounds of copyright infringement, the Post reports.

So a warning to bootleggers: don't mess with the classics. According to court papers the film "was one of the top-five grossing adult motion pictures in 1982," and is considered a classic of the golden-age of porn.

The golden age of porn is now, btw. Not movies with hairy schoolmarms from 30 years ago.

Back when the women in adult films looked like humans instead of plastic robots.

At least they shave now. Back then shit was more like a National Geographic special about the mating habits of Gorillas.

And who the hell wants to get Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle??
