The FlavaWorks controversy was discussed here (and elsewhere) some months ago. I seem to remember that there were several sources that seemed to corroborate what was being said... but in the world of gay gossip, who knows how reliable any of that information is.

Honestly, I don't think that being with a distributor who also distributes another company that's come under this sort of scrutiny is really a big problem. Pacific Sun didn't lose any studios when the Cobra shit happened... but then again, it was Pac Sun who pulled the titles, not Cobra.

If it really makes you nervous, you might talk to Chris at Pornteam.com and also AVNS. As far as I know, they are the only two distributors taking new studios at the moment.
