Zero Tolerance Entertainment is an American pornographic film studio. The studios Third Degree Films, Black Ice and Diabolic Video are divisions of Zero Tolerance.[1][2] The studio's films are generally classed as Gonzo pornography.[3]

History

The company was founded in 2002.[1] The name was chosen because the company pledged to have "zero tolerance for bad porn".[4] The first title ZT released was Who's Your Daddy Part One.[5] In 2005, ZT introduced sister studio Black Ice, which specializes in all-black and interracial content.[1] In 2006, the company filed a lawsuit against AdultsAllowed.com, seeking more than $15 million in damages for copyright infringement.[6] In 2006 the company started including a bonus Spanish language track on all its DVDs, in an attempt to tap into the increasingly important Spanish speaking demographic in the US and Latin America.[7] In 2007, the company signed a deal with Hustler TV to provide its content on the channel in North and South America.[1] In 2008, ZT brought a lawsuit against DVD rental site Movixo Inc., alleging DVD piracy. The case was settled out of court for $15 million.[8] The same year ZT released the first pornographic High-Definition Interactive DVD release, Interactive Sex with Bree Olson.[9]
