quote:

-Act 1-

-An adult film director finishes an ambitious, ahead-of-its-time series, releases and markets it only to be shut down by a giant video game company. Rather than by cease-and-desist, the giant video game company censors the film by purchasing and destroying it.

-This same giant video game company is involved in a lawsuit 9 years earlier wherein they themselves proved that two characters were, because of one's sexual nature and the other's nonsexual nature, distinctly different. This decision is appealed and upheld twice.

-The lawyer who defends the giant video game company sails off in the boat they give him for winning. They name a famous character in one of their games after the lawyer.

-The director of the ahead-of-its-time series passes. One of the stars becomes internationally known for other work. But the release of this work has been effectively undone by the giant video game company.

-Act 2-

-A decade passes. An online forum finds a fragment of the ahead-of-its-time series and one of its most prominent writers reviews it for a regular series of articles devoted to discussion of the internet's vast pornographic archives. He calls for the community to find the remaining missing portions of the series.

-The forum searches for years, devotedly. They are fascinated and aroused by it, ironically and legitimately.

-A member of the forums finds a physical copy of half of the series. Another member joins the effort and they begin an effort to digitize the film at maximum quality for historic preservation. The forums buzz with activity.

-In the ensuing uproar another forums member comes forward with a degraded but full-length copy of both halves of the series. The forums begin to view and review these.

-In the discussion, the legal history of the giant video game company is scrutinized. Their actions begin to seem suspicious in light of their own famous legal defense. Questions are raised about the large video game company, and how exactly the ahead-of-its-time series was suppressed, and why.

-Act 3-

-Trials and difficulties of restoration/distribution/preservation.

-The large video game company is offered a place to respond to questions of its conduct.

-The ahead-of-its-time series is partially or fully restored, distributed worldwide and thoroughly reviewed by experts, enthusiasts and celebrities, then donated to an adult film museum. Its place in history is affirmed, and the adult film director is praised for his foresight (ahem).
OR
-The large video game company attempts to block the wide release of the film, instigating a legal battle eerily similar to the chain of legal battles from act 1. The outcome affects the legal protections of the large video game company's characters, either by overturning a component of an old case or upholding it in the new one.

yeah you can buy one for like a quarter of the price of an apartment in any major american city



downside is they're all full of water and you'll probably spend a few million pumping them out, removing asbestos and refurbishing them
