Ordered from them yesterday and today I have over 3000 bucks of fraud on my card. What a piece of crap website. I know it was there due to using the card nowhere else but secure sites and only for a few subscriptions. I believe this isn't the first time its happened there or at least now I strongly suspect this. I've had it happen before but didn't know where it happened.

That sucks. They don't release much worth buying these days. Vinegar Syndrome has stolen their game.

This doesn't surprise me. They sold reprints/re-CDs without knowing the rightful owners. True, the ownership of so many pornos changed hands fast in the 70s. But that doesn't excuse them of that stuff. I also noticed that the forum on DVDManiancs has gone silent, which they had a lot of influence over.

I'm not sure if Something Weird Video is any better, but I've bought from them before without a problem.

Yep, I use Something Weird too. They are always quick to respond on any concerns. The only problem I ever had with them was receiving a few DVDs that didn't take/record obviously. They replaced them quickly. One of my favorite sites.
While I was browsing and adding to my cart on Alpha Blue, the site stopped working altogether. Couldn't navigate. I went back later and it was working. They must be falling apart. I sent them a message. It will be interesting to see if they respond. They are going to be investigated my MC fraud team for sure due to the amount of fraud.

Vinegar Syndrome has some really crisp releases. At the top of their game.

I ordered one DVD,Best of Trinity Loren,from Alpha Blue 5 years ago. And every 3 months I get a new flyer/catalog from them.

But yeah VS has taken over the classic porn on dvd/blu ray market.

Mike Vraney's widow has made a deal with Alamo Drafthouse and a non-profit dedicated to preserving exploitation films (with PT Anderson and Nicolas Refn on the board of directors!) to preserve their top 10 films.

Apparently that doesn't include the HG Lewis films, the rights for those are elsewhere. Hopefully it does include the likes of Doris Wishman 's roughies and Fredrick Freidel's Kidnapped Coed and Axe.

All this love and care for the flotsam and jetsam of American culture is downright touching.

Yeah I had seen that news item. Very cool.
BTW, I did get a tersely bordering on rude reply from Alpha Blue that it was not possible for my cc number to be stolen there due to them not storing the numbers. What the fuck ever.
