Given that the Obama Administration has already taken over the auto and banking industries without any uproar, it's no stretch at all to see them take over everything else. And as the Administration creates more and more "czars" to run everything it's no stretch at all to see a "Cyber Technology Czar" who will run MicroSoft, Apple, Intel, etc. Then the information and communications czar who will decide what information we sheeple are allowed to know. That's when access to the web will be totally compromised in the USA as it already is in China. Remember one of Obama's campaign promises was access for everyone to broadband. How will he do that except by setting up the government as the internet provider with the ability to control (limit) all web activity. | |

OK, guys, start downloading whatever you can. UpChuck Schumer promised this would happen if Obama was elected when he was on the stump during the Presidential Campaign that fall. Now it looks like it's just a matter of time when our access to the Internet will be limited to whatever the Obama Administration decides we should have.

I have the same issue with PornstarXS.com where I joined their 2 day trial. After 24 hours I was denied access. No response from either customer support or the webmaster; just a confirmation from Epoch that the account was paid and active. After posting a comment and a reply to the posted review in PU, the webmaster replied to the comment telling me to email him (already did, twice, but I did it a third time.) He sent me a new temporary ID and password that worked for 24 hours, then got blocked. No reply to my emails. I'm giving him another few hours then I'll post a new comment to see if that works again. It's a good site with good stuff, but clearly it has no real customer service function so they aren't going to see any of my money. Edited on Mar 27, 2009, 08:47am | |

Suggest you post this as a comment under the pornpassforall.com listing in PornUsers. That way the issue will get much more attention. | |

Nutz. That makes my collection of old Playboys worth a lot less now. I was planning on selling the set someday on eBay and retiring with no money worries. I guess I'll have to change my plans. | |

I am a Carbonite customer right now and you nailed it. I use it to back up my 900 Mb "My Documents" directory that contains all of my basic stuff (tax files, correspondence, spreadsheets, pdf's, etc.) I do not include the My Pictures and My Videos directories. The process starts with your designating the files/directories you want to back up, then starting the upload process. The process all happens in the background but you can check periodically to see the progress. If your computer goes into hibernate or you log off completely, the upload is suspended and will resume with no user intervention required once the computer is back on line. The initial backup process, for me, took about 3 days to complete. In other words, the slow upload speed is the primary limitation imposed by Carbonite. I also used the restore backup procedure to download my backup to a new computer. That process is just about as slow as the upload. Therefore the Carbonite idea should be looked upon as the cyber equivalent of having your stash backed up on CD's or hard drives that are stored in an offsite Public Storage facility that you'd need to spend a lot of time accessing. Their business model, clearly, involves huge amounts of high capacity storage but relatively little bandwidth, and is useful only for ensuring that the stash is not lost through accident or error. It's not a way to secure stuff to which you would like quick access. | |

My first desktop (1980) was an IBM 8088 with dual 5-1/4" floppy drives, 640Kb of RAM and no hard drive. My employer agreed to buy me a 20 Mb external Winchester hard drive for $500. This capacity was so far beyond my comprehension that I figured it would be sufficient for the next several decades. Right now external drives are getting cheaper very quickly. A 1 Tb 7200 RPM drive is available today for $119.95 when as recently as 4 years ago you'd be looking at close to $1,000 for the same capacity but a 5400 RPM drive. The reason? SSD's will probably be the standard by 2010 which will make prices even lower. That's a good thing for us horn dogs who can store our stash, even on redundant hard drives, at a relatively low cost. | |

The likely future hard drive will be solid state (like super huge flash drives). Right now a 250Gb solid state hard drive goes for $400. But it's faster and more stable than today's hard drives. But at $1.60 per Gb it's a bit too steep for me right now. See the review written on 1/27/09 at this link - OCZ Apex Series 250GB Solid State Drive Review | |

EBay can be a good source but try IOMEGA.com. They have occasional deals on refurbs (with warranties). Just got an email from them for a $49.99 360Gb harddrive. If you use eBay, read the descriptors very carefully and set a maximum price you're willing to pay before you start looking. There are some great deals, but there are some lousy no-name drives as well. One I bought worked for about a week then died. The seller was nonresponsive. | |

One site I visited solely because of a review on PU is American Vice. It's a DVD site. In the review (or a comment) someone said that they offer 5 scenes for free, no restrictions. So I tried it and, yes, sure enough, 5 full length high quality scenes absolutely for free. So you are right. I was impressed by the quality, the site's price is right and their search function is the best in the business. And the sample process did prove how great the site is. A $1 trial for a sample, or as these guys did, a flat out free ride with real stuff, did the trick. I'm about to spend $18 to join this site for a month and give it a real trial. (BTW, they even offer a pay-as-you-go option if you want to buy scenes one at a time instead of signing up for the unlimited access.) | |

Excellent commentary, guys, and I agree by and large with Squirrel on the legalities and "moral" aspects and with BadAndy400 about the desirability. I remained totally pissed at the Danni.com ripoff I experienced a few years back where Danni (Ashe) protected all of her material with DRM, but also said that, if a subscriber downloaded DRM protected material and made sure it stayed in the same place, she "guaranteed" unlimited lifetime access to the stash after the subscriber cancelled. Sadly, I believed her. I bought a 500 Gb external hard drive (rather expensive back then) and downloaded a whole lot of material in a carefully structured set of directories. The monthly subscription set me back $29.99 a month for a lot of months but at the time I figured I was developing a great collection. So when I had about 400 Gb of stuff saved I decided to cancel. Guess what? Access denied. I tried everything. Still denied. The email support and telephone support both said I had to re-subscribe to get any support. So I did. I paid for their non-VIP membership ($19.99) and tried again. This time they said support was available only for billing and download issues, not for DRM issues. Sorry. In other words, I was screwed, and lost all respect for Danni Ashe and her "Danni's Pledge" about fair treatment and responsive Customer Service. I understand Khan's point completely and will respect it, but I still have an external hard drive loaded with a whole lot of material that I cannot access because of the fraud committed by a site that used DRM. Sites use DRM to protect their content. I'm down with that. But when a site lies as Danni.com did, I feel that I have every right to find a workaround. | |

I see that TBP now posts a warning when a website has the "opt out" boxes on the credit card authorization page, which is a good thing and addresses one of my beefs. And a similar post that advises that a site has become inactive would be really good. | |

I agree. The liability issue is easily avoided simply by discrete choice of terms. For example, the list could be titled something besides a "Warn List" (say. "Sites with Exceptions to Standard Practices" and include both what "standard practices" are, followed by a list of "non-standard" practices coded for simplicity. The list need not include any deroigatory inferences but be more along the lines of the current warning message for limited access trials. Your example, the check box option, and so on, are facts and if PU were to describe them factually, they cannot be subject to any liability. | |

This is scary and could easily be the first step to some form of Big Brother oversight of internet porn. Associated Press Published: December 25, 2008 Australia considers "Great Aussie Firewall" SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Australia is considering an Internet filter that could be one of the strictest among democratic countries. What's being called the "Great Aussie Firewall" would block at least 1,300 Web sites prohibited by the government. The sites in question mostly contain child pornography, excessive violence, instructions in crime or drug use and advocacy of terrorism. The government is not making public the list of prohibited sites. Hundreds protested in state capitals in Australia earlier this month, and critics include consumers, engineers, Internet providers and politicians from opposing parties. A lab test of six filters found they missed 3 to 12 percent of material they should have blocked and wrongly blocked access to 1 to 8 percent of sites. The most accurate filters slowed browsing speeds up to 86 percent. | |

Now that's why you photo guys have it good. It's easy for you guys to delete the boring and repetitive stuff in an otherwise great photo set. We vid guys can use the Windows movie editor but at the cost of a degraded video quality, or we can buy an expensive piece of software that can preserve the quality, or we can do like we used to do with our VCR's and just fast forward through the boring stuff. And videos are space hogs in comparison with even HD photos. So that's why us video guys have to buy a big old 500 Gb external hard drive to store our stuff and you photo guys only need a 250 Gb or smaller. At least the external hard drives are getting cheaper at the same time as they are getting bigger. I saw a 1 Tb external hard drive on sale today for $129.99. | |

No, I don't know, but I see no reason why it would not work in Europe. If you buy something denominated in US$ and pay for it in US$, then why wouldn't it work? (So long as the EBay seller will ship to a European address.) | |

The bottom line with PU/TBP (and all other porn site review sites is that their business model is based on what badandy's post describes well. But the big difference between PU/TBP and the other review sites is the active interaction of us porn users and the fact that the commentary supports the good sites and punishes the bad sites. If you check the sites that get bad marks from PU members on the other review sites you will usually find that the other sites are heaping praise on the lousy sites. Interestingly the few other review sites that actually provide an opportunity to its audience to comment on sites (usually in forums) don't highlight those comments (a user has to dig rather deep to find them), have no cumulative scoring and the user comments are not linked to the reviews posted by the site. That's why a positive review by a PU member is so valuable to the honest sites and, as a result, to PU/TBP, because the users have no reason to post a positive or negative review other than because it's their honest, unsubsidized, point of view. And that's also why we porn users will stay with PU because it has everything; the discounts, the comprehensiveness and the heavy influence of its members on the content. | |

Works fine. Works on EBay just as if it were cash, a credit card or a positive balance on your PayPal account. The winnings are posted to PayPal as a gift certificate. When you win (buy) something on EBay you copy the gift certificate number into a box on the EBay pay now form and the amount of the purchase is deducted immediately from the gift certificate and the seller is paid immediately by PayPal. If the purchase exceeds the amount remaining on the gift certificate, it will eat up the gift certificate and will ask you to pay the balance due in the usual manner. I've bought a 500 Gb external hard drive for my porn downloads and some other stuff not associated with porn with the gift certs. I suspect the Amazon deal works about the same way. | |

Is the "allowed download capacity" imposed by the Canadian government or by your ISP?
Most of the sites with the highest amount of activity on the web are porn sites so any limits placed on access to those sites will hit the political contributors the hardest. Given the sorry state of politics these days, I suspect that any attempts at access restrictions or prohibitions will be seriously resisted by the politicians who rely on the contributors to survive. | ||

The two that are my all time faves are the original "Taxi Girls" where Nancy Suiter gets fisted in a group lez scene in jail (the retro houses still carry that video, but the fisting has been taken out), and "F and plenty of it" with Annette Haven, Seka, Rhonda Jo Petty (a total fuck maniac), Kandi Barbour (still the greatest puffy nipples in porn), Chris Anderson (a total babe that did very little work in porn), and John Leslie. And any and all videos with Traci Lords that are now just very pleasant memories of her uniquely hot mammaries. If it wasn't illegal to own any of her work, I'd buy up any and all copies ofg everything she ever did. | |

Being a Porn User before the PC was invented (yep, been around a while) I've had the same question. Back in the day when the only porn available over the counter was a bare nipple or two and the "good stuff" was hard to come by and expensive, the majority of the photo shoots had the babes looking at the camera, but no pubic hair, let alone insertions of any kind, were ever shown. Then when the Immoral Mr. Teas came out in the early 1960's, we got bobbing boobies and silly plots, but still no pussy or ass. But also the action was like most all movies; there was no eye "contact" with the camera. Until the mid 1990's when specialty mail order outfits produced solo soft core stuff (Fiona Cooper and Private Performance come to mind) where almost all of their stuff had the babes making eye contact and, in some cases, actually talking to the camera. But hard core stuff that played at the local porn theatres in the 1980's, then showed up at video stores stayed with the legit movie biz and offered no eye contact. Now it's the exact opposite; virtually all porn now has eye contact. Dunno why, but it really doesn't matter much to me. So long as I can check out the PTA of the babes, I really am not bothered by the eye contact issue. But a friend did say he really was pissed about it. Why? Because he saw it as a put down of the poor schlemiel whose whole sex life was limited to wanking off at porn videos. He figured the babe was looking at the voyeur and thinking, "you sap. This guy is getting fucked by me and getting paid for it while you are the sad sack that buys this shit and makes it possible for both me and the dude to make a buck." | |

When I feel like taking a break from stuff, I'll go to the My Videos folder and find a name (I catalogue every download by the babe's name) that I don't recognize, I'll load it and watch it...skimming through it for the "good stuff." If I find myself losing interest, I close it and delete it. | |

I gotta say that I would never have expected in a thousand millenia (that means a million years) that I would run into a serious and nuanced discussion of comparative religious symbolism on a Porn Users forum. Next up, a conceptual comparative analysis of the impact of the Pythagorean Theorem on Einstein's development of his Theory of Relativity (while watching Carmella Bing whacking Lee Stone's schlong with her fabulous rack). ;o) | |

I've had the same question both with the cross and the Star of David dangling from a babe's neck as she's doing the nasty. I've thought it more as a personal thing where the babe: 1. Is thinking that it can't hurt to wear it, especially if she gets religious later in life. 2. Is wearing it as a fashion statement, not as a symbol of her faith. 3. Is wearing it as her last hope for eventual salvation. 4. Is wearing it to show her parents that she still retains a small part of her moral upbringing in case she is ever outed. In this day and age of secularism and the prohibition of anything even suggesting religion in the "public square," I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone submits legislation prohibiting the wearing of any religious symbols in any entertainment activity (porn, movies, TV, stage, etc.) | |

There have been a few polls on this subject but I'm curious what strategies other have in deciding to join a site from a pricing standpoint. After finding good sites using the reviews on PU and checking out the preview material, and if the biller is either CCBill or Epoch (PayComm), I then look at price. It's my observation that any site that's worth a shit will ask for $19.95 or more but once in a while a small, single model site will go for less. My personal max for a single site is $29.95 on the basis that there are a ton of good sites (I have over 70 in "My Favorites") that are priced at, or below, $29.95 and see no reason to spend more than that even for a totally outstanding site. My budget is set at $90 a month 3 (sites X $29.95). I have found that many (most?) sites offer "stick around" discounts so I now have one site at $5.95 a month, 2 at $9.95 a month, one at $14.95 and one at $19.95, all of which started at $29.95 a month. That lets me join one additional site each month at $29.95 and stay within budget. The strategy causes me to have some sites that I go to only once in a while but there is enough good stuff that I'll hold onto the great price. I've signed up for multiple months on some sites when the 3 or 6 month price is really good, but only after I've signed up for a month to check it out thoroughly. I adjust my budget accordingly. I'm curious what other members do in this regard. How do you factor pricing into your decision process? | |

She wrote an autoibiography in 2004 that I was able to check out from our local Library. "Lights, camera, sex!" It's an interesting insight into the industry and into her life as a sex object. I know it's not like a schmooze over drinks and dinner, but getting the book is probably a lot easier to arrange. | |

That's exactly right. CCBill and Epoch both do only what the websites want them to do. But they both execute the sites' instructions extremely well and fast and also are good at quick response to customers. Some of the lesser processors are less than competent (honest?) and can screw things up royally. I just had an experience where my card was charged by Epoch but the site blocked my access. They said I had to deal with the site about the block, or, if I'd like, they would reverse the charge. I opted for the reversal. I can always sign up later as a new customer. They said it would take 2-4 weeks for the credit to appear on my account but it took exactly 2 days. | |

I've had no trouble with refunds from CC Bill or Epoch (Paycom). They always say 2 to 4 weeks but always delivered for me in 2-3 days. The old underpromise/over deliver trick I suppose. I suspect porn sites are reluctant to get into billing disputes because they know they'll probably lose, so fast refunds avoids the hassle for them. | |

Slower, by far, than normal, but I'm getting access. | |

Cartoon effect If you are using version 0.9.2 or later (go to Help>About... to see the version you have), go to Tools>Extended Settings>Video Effects>Image modification OR Go to Tools and check Advanced Controls. That brings up a console that will have several icons, one of which is a simple looking equalizer control. Click on that icon and it has the same panel as the first option. I haven't learned how to disable the WMP default either except to remove WMP altogether, which I'm not prepared to do. Perhaps someone else knows. Switching back and forth is a bother, I agree, but I can live with it. [Edit] Toadsith posted a WMP reply while I was composing this reply. I will try that later today. Off point...but if someone can create a VLC freebee with all of its features, why can't Bill Gates and his gang of rocket scientists do the same damned thing? I know. Because he doesn't really want to and doesn't have to. Sigh. Edited on Oct 13, 2008, 01:04pm (Monahan: Later info just posted) | |

I can accept watermarks, now that I've gotten used to them, and can handle the discretely small ones that appear on most porn these days. However a practice that seems to have fallen into non-use is the intermittent watermark; one that appears periodically, then goes away. (These days I see it only on in flight movies where a two liner pops on once in a while that says, "Licensed for use on United Airlines (or whatever)") That way it's less obtrusive and won't cover an important body part during a scene that features energetic consensual sexual activity. | |

Check out More Gonzo. The site is by DEV8, the same outfit that does AssTraffic and AllInternal. The site takes scenes from many of DEV8's sites so, while you won't get all of the content of both sites, you will get enough so that you can make a call. | |
