:2cents Robbie's Solution vs GideonGallery

Robbie had posted this elsewhere in response to an IONFiles O.P. I made awhile back, but I think it is a killer way to help those worried about theft. He may have posted it on GFY, but only here and there from what I've seen. But this description of how it works and what not is kick ass.

Quote:
Damian, we developed scripting that protects my content in the members area from every known software that can steal it...including Replay (which was the toughest)
I still give my members a small downloadable version to keep them happy. But the big vids that stream? They can't steal them. (at this time...and when they figure out how to steal them? I'll figure out a way to stop that too)

And their username and ip address show up on the vid at random times for just a few seconds throughout the vid...that has stopped screen recording DEAD.

And then I use Remove Your Content to clean up the loose ends (older scenes that used to be on the site as wmv's and the occasional small rez downloadable version that somebody will put up)

I'm not looking for any marketing work as I am perfectly capable on my own, so this is not part of your "challenge" or an effort on my part to get your services for free.

But in my case with claudia-marie.com you are just plain wrong. I first took action 2 years ago when I suddenly noticed our sales were dropping for the first time ever. After googling her name I about had a heart attack when I found our entire members area ripped everywhere.

The straw that broke the camels back was when I released an update and 2 hours later it was on every bit torrent site out there. That REALLY pissed me off.

Quite simply you are just wrong. This month of May, Stats Remote is forecasting the biggest month in sales for us ever on CM's site. Full sales. No tricks, no x-sells, just honest to God people who want to join the site.

And as you know, I am also an affiliate and have been an affiliate since 1997. I promote over 400 different programs. My sales to ALL other paysites continue to free fall. Their members areas are found ripped for free everywhere.

I don't make up theories about what I THINK. And I don't make posts about what I THINK.

What I am telling you is based on EXPERIENCE. What is actually happening right now. And I'm telling you that the combination of protecting your content and hiring a content removal company DOES stop the bleeding and then INCREASES sales.

I know that you won't believe me because you have for some reason began vesting time in making posts lately everywhere that basically give the message to just give up....there's nothing anybody can do.

So I'm not trying to convince you.

I just want everybody else to know that I make a lot of money in this business both for myself and a lot of other folks. And I want everyone to know there IS something you can do about piracy. And it's just as simple as keeping your own content in the members area to the best of your ability. There is a way to do it, and I've been doing it while other sites have just dropped.

No you can't "take down the tubes" or "take down the torrent sites" That's just ridiculous. But you CAN protect your own content and have a profitable paysite IF you have a unique girl or fetish that exactly meets the demands of the fans and you can keep it from being given away for free everywhere.

Basic business 101: The law of supply and demand.
