The collection consists of photocopies of materials relating to the lawsuit (1983-1985) brought by Laguna Pacific, the production company of gay adult filmmaker George Fisher (aka William Higgins), against David Beckmann (aka David Carter) for unauthorized selling of authentic copies, and selling counterfeit copies, of the former's films. Approximately half the materials are legal papers, including motions, briefs, and depositions; the remainder are copies of the defendant's financial records. The records illustrate how gay adult films were marketed and distributed in the early 1980s, the high financial stakes, the ethically fluid business practices of the participants, and their relationships with one another.
