Who is Axel Braun?

Axel Braun is an Italian adult film producer and director. He is the son of Lasse Braun, who was among the first to successfully campaign for the legalization of pornography in Europe. He has directed over 400 movies since 1990 Braun's movie Batman XXX: A Porn Parody was the best-selling and best-renting title of 2010. Due to the success of Batman, Vivid Entertainment created a new imprint to capitalize on the superhero and sci-fi genres called Vivid Superhero. Braun was named leading director for the initiative and has since released the film Superman XXX: A Porn Parody, Spider-Man XXX: A Porn Parody, Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody, The Avengers XXX: A Porn Parody and Iron Man XXX: A Porn Parody. Further movies including Spider-Man vs. Superman XXX, and X-Men XXX: A Porn Parody are in development under Braun's direction.

On October 29, 2010 Braun filed a federal lawsuit against 7,098 individuals who he claimed illegally shared digital copies of his movie Batman XXX: A Porn Parody. Two months later, all but one of his claims were dismissed by a federal judge. The Electronic Frontier Foundation praised the decision as a "big victory in the fight against copyright trolls."
