Porn house illegal, Miami rules
A porn producer argued that male models performing sex acts for the Web in an Edgewater home don't represent an adult entertainment business. Code enforcers didn't buy it.
Posted on Wed, Aug. 15, 2007 Digg it del.icio.us reprint or license print email BY LAURA MORALES llmorales@MiamiHerald.com function PopupPic(sPicURLx, sHeight, sWidth) { var sPicURL = "/news/miami_dade/v-morephotos/story/203509.html"; y=Math.floor((screen.availHeight-sHeight)/2); x=Math.floor((screen.width-sWidth)/2); window.open(sPicURL,"slideshow","width="+sWidth+",height="+sHeight+",top="+y+",left="+x+",scrollbars=auto,resizable=yes").focus(); } Miami officials say an Internet porn company is illegally running an adult entertainment business at 503 NE 27th St. The residents of Northeast 27th Street in Edgewater may not have neighbors like Pretty Ricky, Jerzey Flyrt and Nick Da Kannon for much longer. After 10 hours of listening to evidence and arguments, Miami's Code Enforcement Board ruled late Monday that Phillip Bleicher's Flava Works, an Internet porn production and distribution company, is illegally running an adult entertainment business out of a single-family home at 503 NE 27th St. -- zoned for residential use -- and ordered that those operations cease. ''I think the city has met its burden of showing a link between the house on 27th Street and the website,'' board member Oscar Rodriguez Fonts said before moving to deny a motion, made by Flava Works attorney James Benjamin, to dismiss citations posted by city code inspectors in May. The website is CocoDorm.com, where visitors can, for a fee, watch live video streams from the Edgewater house, where chiseled young males are paid $1,200, plus room, board and meals, to live in the two-story home for a month and have sex with each other on schedule. Monday's hearing was the third in the sex-house case. Assistant City Attorney Victoria Mendez argued that Bleicher also was running an illegal rooming house, but that violation was dismissed. Benjamin argued that the house, leased by Flava Works from owner Angel Barrios, was not part of the adult entertainment operation. He cited a Tampa case where the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that VoyeurDorm.com, a female version of CocoDorm, was not guilty of similar violations. He also argued that business transactions don't happen at the house and that all sales and distribution take place at Flava Works' office at 2610 N. Miami Ave. ''No member of the public came to the location to view, buy, trade or obtain any adult entertainment,'' Benjamin said. But Mariano Loret de Mola, the city's director of code enforcement, testified that, on one occasion, he saw a man he recognized as ''Dorm Dude'' Breion, who is prominently featured on the website's main page, walk up to the Edgewater house and punch in a code to let himself in. That, and the differences between Miami's and Tampa's laws, scuttled Benjamin's argument. ''Miami's adult entertainment ordinance encompasses Internet activity in a way the Tampa ordinance did not,'' Rodriguez Fonts said. Benjamin said he intends to file an appeal within the next few days. ''But we're not sure where we're going to file the appeal yet,'' he said. ``We're not going to put our tail between our legs and go away. The activity is protected by the First Amendment.'' Mendez said the decision would not be enforced immediately. ''The city has no problem with giving them two weeks to get their business affairs in order,'' she said.

Re: Porn house illegal, Miami rules
I wouldn't want a porn house in my neighborhood anymore than I want a crack house.

I don't want anyone running a business in my neighborhood that doesn't meet zoning requirements. I don't want someone running an eBay business if it means that there are going to be delivery trucks driving up and down my street and parking in front of their house all day long. Just because I make money selling porn doesn't mean I want to be close personal friends with people in the porn biz or have someone producing it in my neighborhood. But, if that pisses you off, I dont' really care.

Re: Porn house illegal, Miami rules
There are just some things I don't want in my neighborhood. I realize that they have to do it somewhere and some neighborhood will have to put up with it, just like there are halfway houses in some neighborhoods. Fine with me, just as long as no one tries to set one up in my neighborhood.

SHITTY SHITYY SHITTY you deal with the most unreliable people in this biz and u have to rely on the on a daily basis. I had 2 houses running 6 rooms so thats 12 girls every 6-8 hours u need to rely on showing up and shpowing up ontime and showing up not all stonned out or drunk or after just having a fight with their bf or the baby sitter not showing up ect ect having to rely on models to show up for a 1 hour photo shoot is one thing having to rely on the to show up 4-5 days a week for a 6-8 hour shift is completly different Clean house means nothing. I always ran clean houses. had house moms. fed the girls even picked them up AND trying to run a cam house in the us while broadcasting on a network where the girls need to make atleast 20.00 an hour to stay if not easy. TRUST me I lived slpet eat pissed shit webcam houses for years I would never touch them again even off shore and Fun and entertaining? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I could tell you stories about some of these girls that would make your hair stand up |

Re: Porn house illegal, Miami rules
LOL This is what I figured, I don't run it this way. I don't have a house full of girls running around naked and drunk. "probably the way most people think it's done" I believe the concept used:
"The house full of girls crap" would have never worked because of all the comments you mentioned and then some. Boyfriends, drama, drugs, drunks, and all those things will destroy this environment for a cam business. And this is where almost all the so-called studio operators failed. If you run independent girls who just run a 1 or 2 girl studio per they're own homes. and have them spread out all offer the city works great Maybe if they'd stopped treating them as employees, and treat them like independent contractors might be where most studios have fail. P.S forgot to mention, No Overhead either this way |

Re: Porn house illegal, Miami rules
I know someone else that ran a webcam house, and provided room and board and the whole nine yards, and he shares the same sentiment as Forest. Now he promotes iFriends and makes a couple million bucks a year instead.

No dumb ass they're not. My bind between my side and the performers have nothing to do with what they do in the privacy of there own homes. if they want to sell chocolate chip cookies from there home also? thats on them, and what they do between the surfer and herself? is between them. not me. Kinda like the contract between the cam sponsor site and the performer. WOW You people really are still in the old fashion dark ages around here huh? and how the fuck did Minnesota come in the scene? |

It's not for me And this person you know probably has the same sentiments as Forest because he probably ran it the same way all the others tried. This is a problem again, lack of innovation. they think what works for one guy is gonna be just as successful for the next. So they tend to do the copy-cat versions of everything. Forest things that because he ran it a certain way, is the way I'm doing it. So naturally all he sees are the failures involved. |

Re: Porn house illegal, Miami rules
Oh, I have no doubt you're doing it well and that's why you have half a million bucks burning a hole in your pocket. If it works for you, stick with it and obviously Forest's opinion will mean nothing to you because you are already operating a cam business and aren't some newbie looking for advice.
I'm curious though, if you say webmastering isn't for you, how are you promoting your cams?
