Who runs www.ashemaletube.com

[Tara Emory]

and when I went to the "abuse" page, it suggested this-

"to get access to our removal tool, pls contact us at ashemaletube (at) gmail [dot] com with SUBJECT: "Access to content removal tool". Include your cashprogram name, ICQ contact, login name. "

cashprogram name? wtf?

And ICQ? What is this, 2002?

[Tara Emory]

And yes - My original question is valid.

I do want to know who runs this site, since I don't want to have anything to do with them, even in a money-making sheme.

I would like to find a VOD distributor for my videos, but I won't deal with these guys, and if it turns out that they were such and such a person who's a big player in tranny porn, then well, I'm not doing business with hiim

no i tried that. Even with a login (I was forced to join that fucking site), it didn't work. I got "login failed' even though I was clearly logged in. not sure what that meant..

They otherwise directed you to the DMCA page where you need to write a snailmail letter to them..etc..

I was tempted to join so I can report it for you but I didn't want to sign up with them in fear of it going against you.

Well, I might be the exception not the rule, but when I see stuff I like on there, I join paid sites to get more of their stuff. So for me it does work like the shop window. I joined TSplayground, Paris P's site and Angeles Cid's and at least a half dozen others as a result of seeing their first stuff on that site, so I wouldn't say it's exclusively bad. That said, I can understand the frustration of seeing 3,000 views in one day - but I can assure you that most of those people aren't potential customers - if they hadn't bashed off to your vid it would have been someone else's (probably also pirated) content.

Also fwiw, a few people try and work cleverly with them and post vidcaps and previews rather than full vids, which I think then does actually encourage people to go join the full site.

Not trying to defend, just saying that free sites are here to stay so it's worth thinking about how you engage with them and what your best strategy is.

Brilliance Tara, seriously, you come on here and complain about a site where you say you can see all your content for free and then try and post a direct link to it - enabling even more people to see it for free???

You act like you've never heard of DMCA or stolen content before, which I find hard to believe. Even as a one girl show, it easy to remove the content. You don't need a lawyer to do it, so I don't know where that mis-information comes from. We sent 1000's of these a day.

It's irrelevant whom the asshole is who runs that site. While it is protected under the US safe-harbour DMCA regulations, as long as he abides by the rules (by removing the content when in receipt of a valid DMCA notification) then you can't do much. Appealing to him directly will do nothing. Deal with it by doing what we do, check multiple times a day and DMCA EVERYTHING when you find it. Do some searching around and you unfortuantely cane find a lot of your content pirated elsewhere.

Email this (cut and paste it) to the email at the bottom of their page.

It's not a free site, it's a stolen content site. Any producers working with them are engaging in helping them remain a stolen content site. The numbers of people who may join from one of these sites is so minimum it's not worth it (which is why you generally see higher ticketed banners like personals sites, viagra, electronic cigarettes etc. advertised.

Amazing how many people think we get royalties from that place or similar sites. I have even had clients offer/give me cash when met me after realising (through conversation) that it is stolen content..

True story.

Legal tubes can do the same, there are some around but they will always be 2nd fiddle when someone is running illegal tube with full scenes, siterips etc. The main point is it is run by an utter cunt who earns a living based on other peoples work with no renumeration to content provider..
