Albert here, DeWayne's BF. I am also biased but for actual source documents, check down the right column of DeWaynes blog under the heading, 'Pathology of Perversion.' One in particular is interesting, A Sirens Tale is a rather lengthy but incomplete (thank the lawyers for cutting it short) account of what happened according to Brent Corrigan himself.
For another more objective source for documents, see Juliens Gay Rant Page. Although he actually stopped posting many months ago, it still is a great source for some hard to find documents.

Also at the risk of being all high and mighty Poz performing with Poz bareback is not a good alternative. It's just a breeding ground for producing super HIV infections. I know I will be called a condom nazi for this but honestly the only way we will ever get a lid on the HIV crisis within the gay community is if we ALL learn to accept that any sex with out the rubber is not safe. Period.

A long time ago someone made an excellent post about how youth while legally able to can not really make informed decisions about barebacking. To this day I am still amazed at the number of youth (and sadly older adults) who think an HIV test means anything (The results are only good if the person has not had sex in the last six months). So to sum up an actor could test negative the morning of a shoot and still infect whoever he performs with.
Even if Cobra was the first if customers hadn't purchased it there would have been no followers. I am in the minority with this belief but I believe the reason for Cobras popularity was due to the fact the videos were very well produced, edited and featured models who clearly were into each other (I am not referring to the behind the scenes drama - just the end product)

to break the (ban on Bareback)again with Poz Fucking Poz who cared.

So Bryan Kocis was the first to break the Bareback Ban in Gay Porn featuring 18-24 HIV- models.

That will be Bryan Kocis and Cobra Video's Legacy to Gay Porn.

CORRECTION Pacific Sun NOT Marina Pacific was the initial distributor of Cobra Video in 2002.

XVack I agree the customer is responsible too and yes I am a Hypocrite I enjoy some of the T.I.M and H.D.K videos's
I make an exception there for Hiv performers who bareback with each other.

My concern has always been the 18 to 24 yo's (who admittedly do bareback in the private life) who are mixed with models who have not been adequately tested.

XVack I think JC Adams reported that Cobra broke the interindustry ban on domestic BB "Twink" Gay porn in 2002.
Gay Porn had been condom only since 1990,91.

No matter we the customers were all aware Cobra was IT in 2002. "BareBacking Across America" would follow for Tipo Sesso in late 2003 (Brent Everett's first)EuroCreme ramped up BB production in late 2003 early 2004 and John Tosh(Max Lincoln) acknowledges it was a reaction to Cobras huge sales in Europe in 2002-03 that "made their decision" (to go BB)

HDK,SX and T.I.M. were actually the first in 1999

At the risk of appearing to support Cobra I do not think it is fair to say that Cobra is what made bareback respectable again. It's the customers who purchase the bareback films thus creating a demand that make it "respectable"

Ehhh in the end it doesn't matter there will be a new twink porn idol tomorrow and a new twink porn company next week. It's only a matter of time no one knows or cares about the names corrigan cobra or lucas. (and before someone accuses me of being a lucas supporter -- his porn productions actually put me to sleep!) It's just porn. We watch it to whack off

DeWayne I respect you being upfront. Again keep in mind I do not have the benefit of knowing you personally so if it appears I am not giving you a fair shake thats just how it is. It would be nice if this whole sordid thing were investigated by someone with out an agenda (The Rolling Stone and OUT articles were pathetic)

Of course my charges against Cobra Video LLC are fully sustainable and I have the motivation NOT to remain silent like so many in this biz who gave Bryan Kocis a free ride in life and were complicit in his criminal enterprise.

There were producers and distributors who could have pressured Marina Pacific to STOP Cobra distribution.
Not one producer has issued one public statement condemning Bryan Kocis in Life or Death,,,Indeed in 2002 they gave him an industry award (GayVN)he repaid the honor with his trademark contempt by releasing his very first Bareback video the very month of that award. Was the award withdrawn? No it was not,A complicity of Silence!

And they are paying the price, the BareBack movement in porn threatens every legit US studio and you can thank Bryan Kocis for making Bareback respectable again.
All who followed down that path Are was the spawn of Cobra.

I have publicly stated that in 2008 EVERY US gay porn Studio will be forced to set up a BB division or face market annihilation. The only possible exceptions may be Chi Chi and Titan,,I do expect some exits from the stage by those who will refuse to play the bareback game.

Your right Xvack I am not an objective source of information on Cobra I am a self described supporter of Brent Corrigan with a TWIST. I was a Charter member of Cobra Video placing my first order with the first DVD in 2001. I met Bryan Kocis in 2003 and corresponded with him. I would have been described as a Partisan of Cobra Video,,indeed I have used the Alias "Ex Cobra Fan"

So I have observed and interacted with both and in early 2006 I made my irrevocable decision about Bryan Kocis when I learned about his true nature,arrest in 2001 and on what charge. At that point he and his company were Anathema as they should be to anyone who believes in Justice and Decency in human behavior.

LOL, good luck finding a "neutral" site about Brent Corrigan! Ya either love him or ya hate him...

Thanks. I did review your website and I do think that you raise some valid concerns -- however I can not consider you an objective source of information. One look at your website reveals that you are infatuated with the subject at hand and to consider your information as verified and complete would be as foolish as considering Cobra press releases verified and unbiased.

sorry XVACK if I came across as Petulant, however you should not think the Govt takes this at all seriously.
See the link on my Website dated Aug 31st 2007(dewayneinsd.blogspot.com)

Cobra Video is still selling DVD's they have NO 2257 documentation. None, Nada! Cobras 2257 were Stolen and then burned by the "alleged" killers of Bryan Kocis. source affidavit of arrest Virginia Beach prepared by Penn State Police.

Cobra Video presently lists 2257 records maintained at 2 locations 60 midland dr (a vacant lot)Dallas,Pa and the Wyoming,Pa Post of the PA State Police. (confirmed Aug 2007)
Hence Cobra Video LLC is in blatant violation FBI agents RELY on the 2257 statement to FIND the record location and INSPECT.There is nothing to inspect at either location.

The settlement agreement whereby Cobra admitted the underage stauts of Brent is contained on "Document 41" of the Cobra Video LLC vs. Sean Lockhart et al. lawsuit. Free copies were available on the web in various locations some time ago, but may no longer be available. The Document can be procured online (for a fee) throught the PACER system however.

Thanks. Could you provide the link ? (I am not interested in links from Corrigan or Cobra - rather an independent report) I agree that Corrigan would have been wrong to falsify his age but obviously the studios have an obligation to ensure that they have valid documents and I find it extremely disturbing that the studio still exists if this has been confirmed in the manner you are stating

Yes by a US Federal Judge no less, as well as assorted officers of the court who examined Birth certificates,a U.S.Passport and 2 state drivers licenses. Of course to some people with an interest in STAYING OUT of PRISON Brent will always have been "of age" then why pray tell at the settlement negotiated by Bryan Kocis did HE request the insertion of this line "I did not know of Sean being underage" that was his own admission right there Sean Lockhart was underage. Enough said this is settled and buried unless you call a U.S. Federal magistrate incompetent to determine the legitimacy of ID.

By the way has it been independently verified that Corrigan was indeed underage?

Michael Lucas can as always be counted on to demonstrate why he is known as "Queen Michael" and the "Mouth that Swallowed Moscow" hmm sounds like a 50's Soviet B movie. Of course for someone who lives in NYC so he can gaze upon his two favorite Phallic symbols (the Chrysler building and Empire State) and dream,,,Michaels mouth is not the only thing yawning wide,,,

MY, MY Dears. so, according to Mr. Lucas, Sean is either SO powerful or Mr. Lucas is SO weak, OR BOTH. In either case you are correct. He does like to talk more about rights than responsibilities. Interesting he ignores the known boy rapist.

Michael alludes to Brent being a threat to his personal freedoms, nothing about lying. If Michael is conducting his business the same way Kocis thought he had a right to, then yeah, Michael’s personal right’s are in danger, by our law.

Like sand through the hour glass, so is gay porn.

Lucas is certainly entitled to his opinion, but I get the impression that it is a less than fully informed one.

Was he aware 17 y/o Brent was cajoled into porn by his then boyfriend, who assured him that this age thing was no big deal?

Was he aware that when Cobra found out about it, rather than come clean...they tried to cover it up, and intimidate Brent into silence? That Bryan Kocis knowingly kept selling underage videos these onto the market, after he was informed of the circumstances? As they say, the real damage is not caused by the crime but the cover-up.

It seems Lucas is unaware of those extenuating circumstances. I think that if he was, he'd start directing the blame in more responsible directions.
