Keep visitor and members from downloading content?... - GoFuckYourself.com

ThePornMaker · 08-20-2011, 09:39 AM

This is my first post on GFY (other than a post in the services offered area). For context, I'm an adult producer, but also a creative person by trade. I'm NOT an experienced developer, though I did develop my own site. Because of my background, I can pick up web development pretty easily, but I'm not knowledgable - just to set it up.

The issue: For reasons of model privacy, I blocked my site from Ontario (where the models from my site live) after a local escort forum got wind of my site (some of the models on my site also escort). Many were just excited to know the girls they've seen do some porn, but a whole whack of trolls just went off on the models, harassing them, posting photos of them on the board, some posting their actual names and addresses ...it was brutal. They were basically attacking me through the girls, and some just being trolls, I'd imagine. Anyway ...my question is about javascript. I know it's not a truly secure way to keep people off your site or from downloading, but it was the only way I knew of at the time. I quickly discovered the principal of internet security: you can only block the people you're not concerned about - you can't block the ones you are.

That said, and now that the urgency is gone (the girls were harassed so much, most of them won't do any more videos - trolls win, I guess), for future such situations, can someone suggest the best (if any) way to keep people from ripping content from a site? I know there are javascript blockers, and download helpers - is there a method to successfully block such browsing techniques?

Thanks...

The best way to prevent downloads is to use encrypted video streaming:

That wouldn't help against screen recorders, but they're not very popular. 99,9% of the potential rippers will be blocked.

Thanks - I'll have to absorb all that information for a while, but sounds like what I'm looking for, though a tad above my "pay grade" in terms of ability to implement, at the moment. Excited to get into it though (by excited, I mean terrified).

It's amazing how technical some of the trolls can be; it would take me 20 seconds to yank the key out of your player. Problem is the software is client side

always will be.

I think in the end you end up gimping your members. if you're using geoip and block the province just like we block bc on this coast; it's almost the best you can do.

That's brutal but something tells me your blocks failed.. The other issue is of course hosted galleries not hosted by you! always an issue some people have gone so far as to not allow galleries to be handled by affiliates but again gimping yourself.

Lame for sure i 'm suprised the owner of the escourt board didn't come to the girls rescure names etc is just scary..
