History
While on its logo it shows 'established in 1776', the company was actually founded in June 2001 with a small staff under the Brand Name SoCal Cash and changed its brand name in March 2004 to Naughty America. The date 1776 refers to the United States Declaration of Independence in which Thomas Jefferson declared the right of “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
The company now employs over 60 staff members and has released over 70 DVDs. These DVDs are distributed world wide by Pureplay Media since November 2005.
In August 2007, Naughty America began publishing "The Naughty American," a news and commentary site that focuses on "naughtiness" from around the United States. The publication, known colloquially as "TNA," can be found at the official webpage.
At the beginning of 2008, Naughty America's slogan changed from "The Difference Is Here" to "Nobody Does It Better".
The company launched a gay line called Suite 703 on January 2008.
In October 2008, Naughty America launched an Adobe Air-based application called Naughty America Direct, which was described as "basically an iTunes for porn". It sold individual full-length DRM-free scenes with no subscription. It was shut down shortly thereafter due to the departure of the developer in charge.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
