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:
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the history of the United States, there is no continuity at all. You can cut through it anywhere and nothing on this side of the cut has anything to do with anything on the other side.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
