US Marshals and Pitbull Productions Take Down Bootleggers


B&B Bookstore in New York, NY was the target of the latest raid on Porn Bootleggers in an early morning raid ordered by the US District Court. A team of US Marshals yielded more than 10,000 counterfeit DVDs.

Pitbull Productions, Inc further announced that they have served a lawsuit against the retailer for engaging in the duplication, importation, distribution, and/or sale of unauthorized merchandise infringing upon copyrighted and trademarked properties.


The complaint was filed in Federal Court for the Southern District of New York as a result of a broadening investigation that eventually uncovered a large-scale counterfeiter, plaintiff’s spokesperson Bruce Fleming announced Monday.


“Pitbull worked tirelessly to obtain sufficient evidence for the Federal Court to approve the raid, including long-term undercover operations which yielded information that many of the major adult gay movie studios had DVDs that were being bootlegged.”
