the site owner took the site offline and as far as i now never got convicted of anything but it created a shithole because all of a sudden 100 other pages took over and as of today you have more onlyfans leaks sites than ever

oh for sure, and good on anyone who stands up for their (copy)rights, but yeah, hence the many headed Hydra ref above (cut one head off, two grow back in its place, a Greek myth thing)
the point is that on OF creators/performers/whatever upsell. subs to their feeds aren't how they make money but rather through upsells in the form of paid messages, private shows, custom vids. stuff that can't be pirated
what I mean by 'static' porn is not in regards to updates etc, but rather stuff where the video/pic set IS the product. steal that and...
think about a site like Zishy (I love it so), would be a sad panda if piracy made it economically unfeasible to continue. real people behind the camera. real people in front of the lens
was only when a friend of mine created her own (successful!) porn studio that I got a taste of how much time and co-ordination and expense goes into professional porn production. that is not like, 'feeling cute so miiight brush my hair and put on some lip gloss and do a JOI vid'. feel the difference?
a lot of paysites owned by creators have adapted in realizing content alone isn't enough to gain traction these days, can think of one specifically cuz she's my friend but not gonna name her here for obvs reasons. regardless, she's been around for while
someone steals her ish they can't replicate her and she can get it removed at least from goog easily (as you pointed out). for site rips she DMCAs the site and the host as well, aside from one really intractable site she's been successful
in my case, the host deleted the site. whole lotta clips studio catalogues from a bunch of peeps including some friends so I contacted them, asked for some support from those affected and too bad so sad for the thief. email deluge worked and content never went back up
at the very least removal from goog is important, we 100% agree there
in terms of ripping content?

yes, the customer can D/L for personal enjoyment, go crazy and perhaps transfer content onto a couple devices for easy access
but to steal?
no suh
giving away something of monetary value that one doesn't own or have the rights to distribute is stealing
there is an argument to be made that trad porn sites need to adapt to new conditions but in the here and now, working hard to create killer productions only to have them all appear on a site rip?
burn the pirate houses down
