Evil Angel Files Second Suit for Selling of Counterfeit Product
As we announced on May 2, Evil Angel® has been aggressively pursuing
sellers of counterfeit Evil Angel® DVDs.
Today, Evil Angel® announces that it has filed suit in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California against Direct
Distributors, Inc., a New York distributor of adult product. The
Complaint alleges causes of action for copyright infringement,
contributory infringement, trademark infringement and unfair competition
and seeks both injunctive relief and millions of dollars in statutory
penalties.
Evil Angel® representatives recently visited video stores in New York
and found thousands of counterfeit DVDs as well as evidence as to their
source. Evil Angel® has also obtained evidence documenting Direct
Distributors’ shipment of counterfeit DVDs to a subdistributor in
California. We feel we can’t appoligize enough to fans and consumers of
the Evil Angel® product who have been unfortunate enough to have
purchased one of these very inferior DVDs. We assure you of our
continued intention to provide only the very best quality product we can.
Evil Angel® is committed to eradicating the piracy of its productions
and will pursue, to the fullest extent of the law, any party who
manufactures, sells and/or assists any third party in manufacturing or
selling counterfeit Evil Angel® product. Evil Angel® with Jules Jordan
Video, who has been a principal in adding additional weight in this
fight, together with our attorneys, Allan Gelbard and Sean Macias,
continue to investigate leads and we anticipate the filing of additional
cases in the near future. We will announce the details of these pending
actions once the prospective defendants have been served.
If any wholesaler, retailer or end-user feels that they may have
inadvertently acquired one or more counterfeit Evil Angel® DVDs, either
because of the inferior appearance of the packaging, the inferior
quality of the video, or because certain proprietary menu features are
inoperative, please do not hesitate to call our offices at (818)
787-1414. We are very interested to hear from anyone who may be able to
help stamp out the distribution of counterfeit product.
