Company

Vixen Media Group was founded in 2014 by French entrepreneur and director Greg Lansky, who is also the CEO of GL Web Media and Strike 3 Holding, along with partners Steve Matthyssen and Mike Miller.[2] Lansky sold his stake in Vixen Studios in January 2020.[3]

Vixen Media Group owns and operates eight online adult film sites: Vixen, Tushy, Blacked, Blacked Raw, Tushy Raw, Deeper, Slayed, and Milfy. Slayed, launched in August 2021, is the company's first all-girl brand.[4] [5] Pulse Distribution distributes all of the company's films.[6]

Legal action

The holding company of Vixen Media Group, Strike 3 Holdings, has filed over 12,000 lawsuits since 2017 against people it alleges has infringed its copyright by illegally downloading its films via BitTorrent.[7] [8] [9] Strike 3 Holdings pressures the accused to settle, often with the implication that otherwise their use of pornography will be exposed. Few cases reach trial, with most being settled for four- or five-figure sums or dismissed. DC judge Royce Lamberth has described Strike 3 as a "copyright troll" that utilizes "cut-and-pasted complaints and boilerplate discovery motions" to "flood" courts with cases "smacking of extortion", describing its treatments of courts "not as a citadel of justice, but as an ATM".
