I do apologize for my frustration. I did not intend to imply users of this forum are the ones responsible for this. Actually, I was in appreciation of the original post but inappropriately allowed my frustration to show. Though it is true many of these offenders are outside the US, I have researched this topic for years within the states. Being a producer, I have opportunity to speak one on one quite often with porn collectors on this subject. It is amazing to me how many feel I should be giving it away for free. It isn't just those that download then upload to other sites, it is also those passing out passwords all over the web, and even worse, those that sign up for sites, download all the content, then do charge backs and refund requests. In these cases, not only are we losing the revenue from the original purchase, but incurring charge back fees and having to pay for all that bandwidth. I am installing a shopping cart to do away with the membership site. Our members love the site and are asking me not to do this but I don't have much of a choice. We have worked very hard to build great relationships with them and are really tormented over this decision. It certainly will not eliminate all the problems but will at least give us more tools to identify offenders before it is too late. Again, I do apologize for my frustration. I just think the whole thing is really sad. | |

Great picture! In response to this post, I thank you for your partial support of DRM. As an adult membership site webmaster, I must say DRM is a valid solution for those of us suffering from internet piracy. Though I am not currently using this solution, I recently appealed to my members about this agonizing decision that must be made soon if I am to keep my site operating. For those who believe all porn should be free and that everyone surfing the net has an absolute right to obtain all posted porn free, I must ask you this question: Who do you think is fronting the bill to produce this porn? It cost me a fortune every week to supply to my honest paying members, true, original, exclusive amateur content. In addition to the cost of filming these shoots, there is a cost to run the site. I have to pay for dedicated servers, business licensing, trademarks, copyrights, legal fees, and the cost of bandwidth. The more members I have, the more bandwidth cost. When people download all my content and upload it to free sites, it is stealing. My honest paying members are furious with those doing it because the end result will eventually be the loss of their ability to download my content. It is not fair to them. Until recently adult webmasters have been fighting the tube/free sites but the tide is turning. I have recently enlisted my legal team to go after those downloading content from our sites then uploading to free sites. Bam! Those doing this are DISTRIBUTING adult content on the web without 2257 compliance documentation for our models. I am the only one that holds models agreements for our models. Anyone caught distributing our content without 2257 documentation (models agreements/ID) will face federal charges for doing so. I just posted an article on my website and distributed it through article sites regarding this issue. I am fed up, my members are fed up, and I do not want to have to resort to DRM. I should not have to resort to this. And honest collectors should not loose their ability to collect their beloved porn because some think they are entitled to something they are not. If a person does not have the legal rights and the proper federally required documentation to distribute said adult content, they are foolishly risking their freedom doing so.

Our site does very well with non-recurring. After nine months of research and tracking our recurring vs non-recurring sales, I have found many of our members choose non-recurring but still return each month. They prefer the option rather than the recurring billing. We did offer recurring at a discounted price but I found 90% of those that chose this option, chose it for the discount and canceled at the end of their 30 days anyway so I just removed the recurring option. this removal has not hurt our sales. | |

Though I am not a man, I just have to comment on this "Fake Boob" debate. Being a female with very large, all natural breasts, I was quite offended by a remark from a male friend. He is attracted to woman with fake breasts because he believes them to be more sensual, more in touch with their sensuality. He says woman with real boobs are lazy about their appearance and boring in bed. I have since read similiar comments from men about woman with real boobs. This is so not true! Unbelievable. | |

Someone has to produce all this porn. It cost a lot of money to produce porn. If so much of it continues to be pirated at the rate it is, it will eventually put producers out of business then where will people find the porn to pirate. Seriously, being a producer I can tell you that the piracy of porn is hurting producers. But on the other hand, many of my members refuse to go to these free porn sites because of the threat of contracting a computer virus. The problem is that most producers try to sue the tube sites instead of going after those that downloaded the materials and then uploaded them to other sites. This is highly illegal because those stealing the material then distributing it for free are placing themselves in a position of being a porn distributor, therefore they are required to have the 2257 age compliant documents. If they did not produce the materials and do not have a license to distribute them, they are breaking Federal law by not only stealing, but distributing pornography without 2257 documentation. This is the approach I am taking and I know it is catching on with other producers. IP addresses are traceable, whether a person is uploading or downloading. Once the porn industry catch's on to this most simple concept (and it will) and starts pursuing the pirating offenders themselves instead of the tube and share sites, we will see a decrease in pirated porn. I myself am pursuing this option with a vengeance. Currently, when a tube/share site is sued their defense is that they did not know the user uploaded it. Fine, go after the user. Once news gets out that users are facing Federal charges, it will have a sufficient effect of at least slowing down piracy. I am testing out this theory. My attorney is seeking a subpoena on a tube site to obtain the IP address of a user. Once obtained I will bring charges against the user. The tube site did get scared and took down my videos.

We use condoms in our video shoots because we work with a lot of "First Timers" who are very nervous about doing their first video. It helps put them at ease knowing the chance of contracting an STD is minimized. Our members understand this and have stated they would rather have the girls be safe and really enjoy themselves rather than brave the entire shoot with a fear of STD's. Our male talent cup the condom in their hand as they pull out. It slides off in their hand, unseen by the viewer, prior to doing the popshot. I have never had any complaints about the use of condoms. | |
