Before I start, one important statement.
I have been very honest on this board, very open, very willing to discuss. The emotional crap I get thrown my way is tiresome and thus obviously gets me aggravated sometimes. I do my best for this not to happen as far as I can, but obviously I am not perfect.
I will continue to be very honest in these threads, I will repeat statements over and over again while people think they have to put out false and unproven claims over and over again...
I will start with the basics, just to get them out of the way, which the haters here all will simply claim are lies:
- All content is _user_ uploaded, this includes our own users for brazzers and mofos and users for the partner program people of course.
- We do not make money with APAP. Only in the case of replacing content and putting ads up to the content owner we would. Currently, we are implementing it, but we will see how much use it will have. We are right now simply not letting content fingerprinted up on the site.
Regarding the repeat infringer policy, as far as I know we ban the user, and prohibit him from signing up again via blocking email address and such. Right now, as far as I know, we do not remove all the content, but I am verifying that, I simply did not have the time the past few days.
Regarding Robbie's post long post, saying I am a stupid idiot who knows nothing...
Please, if you do not know me, stop claiming stuff you obviously do not know.
1) I invented NATS, telling me I can not admin a server, build a site with notepad, take care of 2257 docs, is just rediculous.
2) Can I shoot? Myself? No, we contract 3 exclusive studios in the USA, and are testing 3 in europe for exclusivity too. We also outsource amateur content to 150000 individuals around the globe. (Yes, thats 4 zero's).
3) Direct? Again, no.. not myself, the studio's have director's on their payroll.
4) Film editing? Directly, no, we employ a crew of 60 people in-house (yes, 60), who do pre and post production, including script writers, model scouts and managers, special effects artists and video editors.
So, I guess, if I lost my company, my skill sets sadly only seem to be inventing software like NATS, writing high speed server systems, and managing a company...
So, sorry.. I think, that I do really work this business. Btw, I have been on sets, just mentioning since you thought I likely never was.
Just because I post on this board, does not mean I have nothing to do obviously. I enjoy posting here before and after true work, or during to relax. It get's the edge off... so to speak. I'm weird, I know...
I am also unsure why you seem to think I am somehow less valued in the adult industry simply because I do not shoot content myself.. very confusing.
The thing most people here complaining how they are so much more in hurt by piracy because they are content producers just seize to realize is that Manwin currently is one of if not the biggest producer in adult entertainment online.
As I have said from the beginning, months ago, we are slowly doing our plan of changing certain aspects of how the tubes work. This can not happen overnight. Anyone with a sound business mind will understand this. For those that do not accept or understand this fact, so be it, I'll survive and ignore you...
Eric, looking forward to lots of fun fights with you, which you obviously want to have...
