Streaming Only Sites... Why?

[lifeisfiction]

Steaming only content can be downloaded. If the file is a playable format it can be downloaded. Hell even youtube videos are downloaded to your computer. Just check your temp downloaded internet files and you will see the videos have been saved. No matter what format, if someone wants to pirate it they will.

I give Valve major credit for dropping game pirate down a lot and what they did to do so was amazing. You just have to give them a better alternative not to pirate.

Now this is some great customer service.

In reply to my e-mail questioning the change to streaming only:

"we don't offer downloads. You can real our Legal Information.

USER UNDERSTANDS THAT *****.COM DON'T OFFER DOWNLOADS.

Please contact me if you need any help.

Goodbye and good riddance.

Two words: TUBE SITES.

Bob's Tgirls recently had an update featuring Penny Tyler. No more than two hours after I saw that update on the site, I saw the same video clip on "The Hammie". (It has since been taken down).

Streaming-only makes such actions just a bit more difficult.

I strongly disagree with you Ben in LA. It is so easy for anybody to download videos from stream-only sites. There is an app for just this type of situation. In fact I just joined a site and I'm downloading the videos in HD. I won't be uploading them to any illegal sites. They're for my personal use of course.

I've noticed many videos from stream-only sites that are on tube sites.

Owners are lying to themselves for believing that stream-only content will slow down pirates.

Had to spill the beans, huh? I already KNEW you could. If it's online, there's a way to get it. If not, believe me someone is working on it.

It's like when folks complain when they can't play flash files on an iPad. Actually you can...if you're willing to do a little research.

Part of the reason I'm using Grooby to distribute my content on the web is I feel like they're taking a similar positioning. Downloads, ease of use of the websites and their active approach with DCMAs.
