Company
Vixen Studios was founded in 2014 by French entrepreneur and director Greg Lansky, CEO of GL Web Media and Strike 3 Holding and Wes Meadows.[3] Lansky says he created the company to create higher-quality video that would be considered more 'artistic' than the normal realm of adult video content.
Vixen Studios owns and operates six online adult film sites: Vixen, Tushy, Blacked, BlackedRaw, TushyRaw, and Deeper.
Greg Lansky sold his stake in Vixen Studios in January 2020.[4]
Legal action
In 2017, Strike 3 Holdings, owner of Vixen Studios, filed a copyright infringement lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court against individuals who downloaded and distributed the copyrighted movies and placed them on file-sharing networks.[5][6] Strike 3 alleged copyright infringement “on a grand scale,” identifying alleged thieves by IP addresses. The suit was settled in 2018.[7]
