Thank The Theives.
Seeing my videos show up on tube sites far too often. I'm switching back to streaming only from my members area. Thank the thieves.

Understand the frustration but your honest members get screwed here. Not sure how but your content will still get stolen.

Re: Thank The Theives.
The music and film industries have powerful lobbies with limitless resources and they too are losing the battle of piracy. The porn industry is essentially small businesses that have much less resiliency to the onslaught.
Until consumers realize that downloading tube sites and buying a bootlegged copy of GRAVITY is a criminal act... same as going into a liquor store, sticking a bottle of vodka under your coat, and walking out without paying, nothing will improve.
Presumably most of us don't steal liquor, but a crime is a crime.

Re: Thank The Theives.
Initially my reaction was the same as Yosi's but I understand why you would want to deter theft and that's your prerogative of course. You have to consider the net trade-off between the number of people who would join your site if they couldn't steal your content and the people who may not want to join if they can only get streaming video.
My sense is that if you make it harder to steal you lose those who get annoyed by streaming video and the thieves don't join either. That's not to say that those who are enabling theft aren't hurting the market, as they are, but the effects are probably broader and more diffuse. This would be akin to someone selling a cd that requires a hammer and chisel to open...good anti-theft device, but not so user-friendly.

Good for you Jamie. People try and think like the picture I posted.
But instead it should say "Imagine you own a car dealership and your cars get stolen, but they are still there the next morning BUT NO ONE WILL BUY ANY"

Re: Thank The Theives.
every single industry has shrink to a degree. on your site, you can create a user experience that can't be had by just a video on a tube site. the way i see it is, if they don't steal and upload your video, others (amateur's) will make free porn so those stealing aren't going to buy your stuff no matter what. i find it rare that someone who enjoys a particular brand of anything prefers to pirate it over buying the actual genuine experience. note i said experience because it is an overall presence of feeling when you enjoy something.
