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, for personal enjoyment, perhaps he'll go crazy and D/L it onto a couple devices
but to steal?
no suh
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

im not into that whole paysites like zishy thing..but my general thing in this is that its just a theory that when you dont have access anymore to the pirated content that you then would pay for it..has been proven by studies not be true..the time and money you need to spent to takedown etc. is not worth return you get
in the onlyfans area the basic way how content gets online is a paid subscriber is leaking it onto a forum and then its get spread everywhere....so the usual onlyfans leak site owner is not the one who actually "stealing" it he is using whats already put online from someone else who paid for it.
in that siterip niche that might be different i guess they buy it themself with the intend to spread on their sites
also naming it stealing while its by definition not stealing...thats why they invented copyright infringment because it doesnt fall under the stealing laws
