“I don’t even know how to explain how excited I was when that contract finally came in,” AEBN’s Erin Burns said. “I am not a quiet person so needless to say most of the office heard a loud 'fuck yeah.'”
Upon consummation of the deal, AEBN now features 16 Teravision titles available for download, while one title, “Appetite for Destruction,” can be streamed live. AEBN plans to add more Teravision titles, all of which will fall under the premium content designation.
Downloadable Teravision movies include “InTERActive,” “Decadence,” “American MILF,” “Desperate,” “Ultra Violett,” “Reign of Tera 2,” “Skinn Kandi,” “Teradise Island: Anal Fever,” “Fashion Underground” and “Test Drive.”
Burns and Teravision’s Evan Seinfeld originally began negotiations at last year’s Exxxotica Miami.
“Let’s face it,” Burns said, “everyone knows who Tera Patrick is, so the deal was a no-brainer. We plan on doing a great many things with Teravision in the future. They are always open to new ways of promotion and are willing to explore exciting new avenues to further both our business brands. Evan and I are constantly talking about industry trends and the new ideas that come from them.”
Seinfeld has been very outspoken about what he feels is the inequitable commission structure that exists for studios when joining VOD networks. He’s always stressed that since he feels Teravision is a premium product, they should earn a premium commission.
“We at Teravision look forward to the unlimited potential of our relationship with AEBN and merging two true top brands,” Seinfeld said. “We have been working on this deal for a year to make sure we can participate in VOD and benefit from new revenue streams, top technology, and massive traffic without devaluing our product. Teravision and Vivid have been working very hard to keep our VOD model from alienating the price point of our DVD market.
“Tera and I feel that preserving premium pricing for our product in any medium is essential to keeping our brand value high and the value of high-end porn in general up. We urge our fellow studios to do the same and be creative with all our distributors in every medium to maintain price integrity for the entire industry in general, even in a changing market. AEBN’s creativity in creating an amazing experience for their end user is now a huge benefit to Teravision, and we are happy to make our Tera Patrick and Teravision movies available to a huge and brand new audience.”
