Owen Hawk's Rumor Control

Ok, so today I read a certain porn blog from a certain director (not Michael Lucas) who seems intent on spreading rumors about Dark Alley Media. So let me take a minute to set the record straight:

1) Dark Alley is not going out of business. To the contrary, our last two releases, Fisting Underground 3 and Gaytanamo were our best selling. I write every single payroll check personally, and I can tell you that I have never in the history of the business bounced a check to someone who works for me.

2) The move to Berlin has to do with Matt, who you all know is originally from Europe and has wanted to move back for a long time because he prefers the lifestyle and culture, and wants to be closer to his family. Contrary to the rumor that this is because of financial difficulties, in fact we are making this decision to do so in the near future because we finally feel that the business has sufficient infrastructure and liquidity to be able to survive such a large change.
Currently we are meeting with Lawyers, Accountants, and other business contacts to get information we need in order to make this a reality.

3) Matt and I are not breaking up. After the move to Germany, I will be bouncing back and forth from New York and Berlin. I am actually very excited about this because I like to travel. Not only will I be able to see more of the European world, but I will get to have a mobility which will give me a strong sense of freedom and independance, while still being in a loving and commited relationship. My family lives in New Mexico, and I will be visiting them as well. Matt will be coming back to the States for visits, but not as frequently.

4) As far as Dark Alley going bareback, well you will have to wait until next week for more on that story. What I can tell you is that I think you guys should have a choice in the products that you buy and that we should not be judgemental of people's sexual choices, even when they are different from our own. I don't think bareback porn is any great detriment to society. But, like I said you have to wait for more info on that.

Thats all for now.
Best,
Owen
