History

The company was founded in 2002. The name was chosen because the company pledged to have "zero tolerance for bad porn". The first title ZT released was Who's Your Daddy Part One. In 2005, ZT introduced sister studio Black Ice, which specializes in all-black and interracial content. In 2006, the company filed a lawsuit against AdultsAllowed.com, seeking more than $15 million in damages for copyright infringement. 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. In 2007, the company signed a deal with Hustler TV to provide its content on the channel in North and South America. 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. The same year ZT released the first pornographic High-Definition Interactive DVD release, Interactive Sex with Bree Olson.
