The Lightspeed Media Corporation is a company from Glendale, Arizona, founded in 1999 by Steve Lightspeed, alias of Steve Jones,[1] that operates many Internet pornography Web sites and contracts various models. (There was also a Lightspeed Media, which is a distinct corporation that was acquired by America Online on March 10, 1997.) [1]
Their models include Sweet Devon, Kinzie Kenner, Mandy Lightspeed, Erica Lightspeed, Britney Lightspeed, Brandy Didder, Dirty Aly, XXXRaimi (Melissa Raimi), Tiffany Paris, Stacy Bride, Ronni Tuscadero, and Lacey White. Perhaps the most famous are Tawnee Stone, Tawnee's alleged sister Tori Stone, Taylor Little and Jordan Capri.
Steve Jones is the company's Custodian of Records as required by American law 18 U.S.C. 2257. He works to keep his public persona as Steve Lightspeed separate from his private one of Steve Jones. The family moved after area parents learned about his profession and refused to let their children play with his. But Lightspeed said his children do not know about what he, his wife and his mother do. All work for the corporation. [1]
Lightspeed Media is known for organizing lavish parties in the Glendale and nearby Phoenix, Arizona areas with their models and others. Wall Street Journal reporter David Kesmodel wrote, "In the online pornography business, just about everybody has heard of Steve Lightspeed." [1]

Jordan Capri (1984) is a pseudonym for an American pornography model. Capri began her career doing nude and barely clothed on scenes together with Tawnee Stone just after turning 18 in the mid-2000s, but the website network of the Lightspeed Media Corporation from Glendale, Arizona, which she works for, still advertises her as 18. In early 2006, Jordan Capri announced her retirement from the porn industry, but returned later that year.
In September 2006, a short hardcore video clip featuring Jordan and her newlywed husband surfaced online. This video represents her first foray outside of the world of softcore pornography. Screenshots of an oral sex scene appeared on her Lightspeed website on October 21. On November 11, a 3 minute video of her "stolen sex tape" appeared on her website. On November 30, a screenshot was posted on the main page of her website showing vaginal penetration. On January 2, 2007 the third installment of her honeymoon video was released. This should ultimately be the final installment as it depicts the conclusion of the encounter.

Tawnee Stone is the pseudonym for an American Internet pornography model. Her website has claimed her for years to be the 19 year old sensation from Texas despite her actual age, while her supposed sister Tori Stone is the 18 year old sensation. Her site also states that she is from "the Midwest." Stone's official websites are part of Lightspeed Media Corporation's website network called Lightspeed Cash. Lightspeed Media Corporation registered the trademark Tawnee Stone at the United States Patents and Trademarks Office on June 24, 2002.
Perhaps sparked by her "girl next door" charisma, there is considerable Web speculation over her true name and origin, and there has been circulation of a photograph purported to be from her high school yearbook.
Stone is part of a group of models that Lightspeed Media calls The Lightspeed Girls, and who are supposed to be cheerleaders. Catering to a softcore taste, Stone is marketed for her youthful looks — often in seemingly candid galleries, though she has also done a few hardcore shoots; both with women and men. The website also relates "stories" of Stone engaging in group sex with "cowboys" like Ryan Ratcliff while in her mid-teens and hints at incestuous relations with "sister" Tori.
In the early incarnation of her website, Tawnee kept a diary which discussed everyday activities, some mundane, others erotic. Included were discussions of such topics as her parents separating, and its traumatic effect, especially on her sister, Tori.
Stone is also a very successful pioneer of the single-model per website style of internet promotion. From 2001-2005, her site has produced the top earnings of all Lightspeed Media websites. "While Stone’s innocent look is probably most responsible for the site’s success, the fact is that everyone who releases a single-girl site is aiming to be the next Stone."[2]

Tori Stone is the name used by a pornographic model who is contracted to work for Lightspeed Media Corporation, the same company that hired Tawnee Stone. Lightspeed has advertised Tori Stone as "the younger sister of Tawnee Stone". Tori Stone is said to be 18 years of age while Tawnee Stone has been described as "19 years of age" throughout her multi-year career. Tori has produced hundreds of pictorials and several videos and has been contracted to work with several other porn sites.
The cost of a monthly registration at Tori Stone's official site is above average within the Internet pornography industry. It is suggested that the reason for this is because she is well sought after, as she has just turned 18 years of age and is "newly legal", combined with her being marketed as the "younger sister of Tawnee Stone", who is herself a very well known porn star.
Tori Stone is categorised in the porn industry as "teen" and is primarily involved in "lesbian" and "incest" scenes, often with the woman who portrays her sister, Tawnee Stone. However, Lightspeed has not produced any images that show Tori and Tawnee engaging in sexual activity with each other.
