Steve is sick and tired of all these posts from people who don't know ANYTHING
about this case talking out their ass. What this industry needs is a cohesive
group to fight the forces that want to put us ALL out of business. Steve is taking his stand
for what he believes in and we would appreciate support from adult webmasters and specifically the BDSM community.
Special thanks to Good Chris, Evil Chris and Raw Alex for their support.
So Mike - I've been authorized by Steve to post a proposal for a private wager.
Since you're so sure he will be convicted in his trial he's offering to personally bet you $11,000.
That's right. $11k.
That's $1000 per count. There are currently 11 counts against him and for every count he is found guilty he will pay you $1000.
For every count he's found not guilty you will pay $1000 towards our already extensive legal bills.
What do you say Mike? Ready to put your money where your mouth is?
In Steve's own words: "Tell that loudmouth punk to put up or shut up!"

First, there is no coheisve industry. This is an industry where people fuck each other day in and day out. If someone can make an extra dime by shaving a little more they do it. If someone can make a little more by doing shady cross sales, cramming of credit cards they will. If they can make a little more money by pushing the boundaries of porn, then will.
Is Steve looking out for me? Is Steve helping out those being sued by Acacia?
As far as the bet, no way I am going to make it. I do not know the Canadian legal system, nor do I know the prosecutors. Many times cases come down to who has the better attorneys ( Do you think OJ is really innocent?). So I am not going to put my money on some prosecutor that works for the Candian gov't!
Steve should be focusing on his legal battles, not worrying making bets with "loud mouth punks" and the false fantasty of industry cohesivness.
