And also I hired removeyourcontent.com to police our old stuff that was out there before I started this method.

It's kinda the best of both worlds for me. I keep my new high quality scenes off the tubes and torrents. Yet I still give my members something to download if they so choose. And if someone does upload one of the small .wmv's, then it is watermarked top and bottom to help against all the tube sites out there who pull that shitty trick of setting their encoder to clip off the bottom of the vids so your watermark is lost.

And then of course as soon as removeyourcontent dmca's them, then that gets pulled down from the offending site. It keeps our membership a valuable commodity for our members, instead of it being a situation where their membership is worthless because of the members area being ripped on every tube and torrent.

Just having back a little control over your stuff does wonders for sales and retention.
