What's CCBILL's Issue With Celeb Content?

[xanx]

Was just reading the terms of service for ccbill, they say they will not bill for a site that has ANY celebrity content.. Doesn't Mr Skin use them? What's the deal, did they get sued?

Why don't you fucking ask them.

[marlboroack]

Maybe Mr. Skin is them?

The fact that it's pretty much always stolen probably has something to do with it.

Yea for sure. Easier to prove than gf content.

Simple.

With the exception of the celebrities on www.vividceleb.com, www.hotelheiress.com, Danielle Staub on Hustler, and www.realjazmine.com , nothing else on the Internet is sanctioned and legal. If I missed any please add them.

A very large percentage of celebrity paysites are consumer scams. The tapes they advertise just don't exist.

Stick with the legal tapes. You get paid. The surfer gets what they want.

Simple.

Mr. Skin uses the content WITH PERMISSION. Other sites do not.

I seriously have trouble believing that the copyright owner of every image on their site has expressly given permission for mrskin to make money off of it.

You only have to deal with a handful of media outlets. Not 100,000 individuals...

Given that Mr. Skin is in the business of selling access to copyrighted material without permission, it might seem logical that the company would be mired in legal challenges, but it is not. Mr. Skin bills itself as a movie-review site ? though one that assesses only starlet nudity ? so Mr. McBride argues that the clips can be shown under the fair-use doctrine, which permits excerpting copyrighted material for the purpose of criticism.

That legal defense turns out to be moot, though, because the movie studios not only tolerate Mr. McBride but also court him by sending advance screeners of DVD releases.

?The movie companies aren?t stupid,? Mr. McBride said. ?I?m a guest on radio shows at least 300 times a year as the expert on celebrity nudity in film. If I?m on the radio talking about a movie like ?Ask the Dust,? and telling guys, ?You?ve got to check it out: Salma Hayek has a full-frontal at the 33-minute mark,? it?s going to make guys want to rent or buy the movie.?

More than 75 movie companies ? including Universal, Fox, Paramount and Lionsgate ? regularly send advance DVDs to Mr. McBride?s company. And his subscribers buy hundreds of DVDs every day, said Brian Sokel, director of marketing at TLAvideo.com, which sells DVDs on the site. (He declined to provide precise figures.)
