Tube Scrapers ??> WP-Script vs. XWPThemes
 

Anyone care to compare WP-Script and XWPThemes for scraping embedded videos ? I remember someone saying that one is better than the other, but I don't remember which.

WP-Script seems to have a shit ton of sources, and it looks good. But if it's got problems, I'll take stability over aesthetics and unnecessary sources anytime.

See sig. It can scrape embedded videos from all existing tubes, from sponsor hosted XML feeds, JSON, CSV and text dumps. It can parse cam site feeds (livecam embeds, model profiles / descriptions etc), sponsor hosted galleries, online shop feeds and everything else. Actually it can import any type of content sources and generate sites like this on autopilot - fire and forget.

Never tried wp script so cant say what is better but i have been using xwpthemes plugins for around 2 years and love them

i had an issue with a tube scrapper, google penalized me for "pure spam", that includes scraping.

This, their themes are very quick and do the job well. They also have a good free support if you buy themes.

keep in mind if you turn off the plugin your site is toast try adult wp theme he is a member here as well

Try them both they both are good

i like wp-script, havent tried any others

ask boneprone how well this plays out. be sure to ask how well protected you are with a 'i just used their embed codes' explanation against being sued for copyright infringement by the content owners.

fucking retards.

Which plugin, Brass? I don't see why that would be the case.

Cool. Thanks.

You did it wrong then.

Thanks j3rklues. Fast themes is important -- especially since WP is so damn bloated to begin with.

Thanks. Prolly will.

Thanks fris. Your opinion (especially about WP stuff) matters to me. By the way... whatever happened to Oatmeal.io? I checked in a while back to see if you had anything new and it was DOA.

Good point. Are the retards just skipping the DMCA process and going straight for litigation?

at the end of the day, you are trying to publish on your own site and monetize content for which you have no rights to.

and yes, people have been sued in this biz for doing exactly this.

Of course you are 100% correct. But this statement sounds exactly like something written in 2006 -- when the tubes were just taking off -- and everyone was trying to figure out what to do about it.

2257 is law. But few take it seriously. Too many offenders, and not enough bureaucrat monkeys to enforce it universally.

Same with piracy. "Everyone does it." And there's no way a content producer can afford to sue every offender.

We prefer wp-scripts. Have no experience with the other. They actively update their operation. Sometimes multiple plugin updates a week I've seen.

re oatmeal, when i was with my previous hosting company the drives went, and im gonna have to rebuild it, they were gonna charge too much to stay with them, so i moved my hosting

wp script

You're not betting your life, property and financial present and future that they won't "sue everyone".

You're betting they won't sue you.... or name you in a lawsuit targeting a host or other tube site or anyone else.

If you feel that waking up one day to a multi-million dollar lawsuit (statutory damages per instance of infringement) is a reasonable risk in the course of making hundreds or 1000s of dollars, then go for it.

"everyone does it" won't matter when the process server finds you.

its one thing to tell yourself there's safety in numbers. its quite another entirely to do the exact same thing that people in this biz have been sued for already with the logic that "everyone does it" as a defense.

Yeah whatever. So. How many tubes are you running Squealer?

I own 0.

I don't have a problem with tube sites.

I have a problem with doing something where i'm risking a possible lawsuit in the millions for possible gains in the 1000s.

Thats because i'm not an idiot.

Let me tell you a story about "everyone is doing it". There are 2 older members of this forum who were doing something with domains, and saying along the way, "everyone is doing it". They all had similar attitudes to you. All of them are serial narcissists and don't understand why they can't just do what they want, when they want and without consequences.

The first trademark lawsuit they faced was for $28,000,000.00 for doing something which earned them around 6,000.00. The second was for $40,000,000.00 for doing something which earned them even less.

Boneprone among others was doing exactly what you clowns are talking about. He found himself being sued. His sites went down immediately and he went dark. He probably settled but i seriously doubt it was pretty for him.

You want to scrape content and publish it and monetize it. You don't own the rights to it. Legally, its all very cut and dry.

Personally, i could care less about the right and wrong of it. Thats on you. My point was simply that you willingly draw a massive target on your back where all it takes is one lawsuit and you being named in it to end your financial life. Forever.

This forum is full of sociopaths and narcissists. I get it. You want to do what you want to do and you don't understand the concept of consequences. This forum is a magnet for idiots, the immature and the mentally ill.

When you get older and you've watched lives being destroyed for a $1000.00 a month income... when you see courts taking even the clothes out of someones home to be cataloged & auctioned along with the house, you'll maybe think twice.

Until then, you'll just be a selfish, immature twit who is risking EVERYTHING for literally no money. You aren't going to be at the top of Google making $5,000,000.00 a month and have the ability to fight a lawsuit. You are going to create a short lived farm of sites which earn nothing and where each instance of infringement carries the penalty of statutory damages of $150,000.00 USD... and if you have your way, you'll have 10's of 1000s of videos x $150,000.00 fine each so that you can hopefully make a 1000.00 or something stupid.

That's a thoroughly retarded gamble by any standard.

Every prison everywhere is full of people who had a great plan according to them.
