I don't understand the philosophy. Once your site Is jam-packed with (stolen) content why do you need more? I wish more people would realize this fight benefits all of us, not just the Producers fighting the good fight. |

Telling everyone you're going to do this and that means nothing without action. You want to take on pirates then good on you, fight the good fight my man and let us know after the fact. Quote:
You guys need to focus your time and energy on making more money. Want to go after someone stealing your content, pony up the cash like MetArt does and sue them. |

Many content producers had that same philosophy until incomes dropped 30% or more because they didn't focus on the theft, and didn't realize it was organized. So you own a car dealership and a thief keeps stealing your cars. Each week you buy a new car, and each week he steals it, but you keep focused on making money to buy new cars, and your insurance quickly replaces each stolen car. One day you look across the street and there are all your stolen cars at a competing dealership. The dealership is 10x's bigger than yours because he was stealing from 10 other dealerships as well. Now he has the biggest dealership and the most variety to offer prospective customers. The content creators left need to focus heavily on the theft now. It's not easy, but it will pay off in the end.

I'm all for fighting piracy, it's the keyboard warrior attitude of "I'm going to post real names and addresses" all the way to the "shooting you in the face" that is just ridiculous. Quote:
Stop with the empty threats and do something about it, then post about what you did not what you're going to do. Just like those who start threads bitching about a company or individual that wronged them, changed the min payout to something ridiculous, a processor who also owns paysites and groups xsells together, whatever the gripe but refuses to name names. Put up or shut up :2 cents: |

There are a few predictable triggers that indicate who they are, and there's really no way for them to mask those triggers if they want to continue being effective and stealing new, or fairly new, content, even with their multiple accounts. In talking to a few other producers in the past I was surprised at how many just ban a user they find is pirating. It's best to use what I call "passive protection". You watch them, record what they do, learn from them, and adapt your strategy. |

I whack moles and they stay down and others DO NOT pop up right away - fighting piracy of your content WORKS. Anyone that spends the time and effort to protect their intellectual property knows that keeping your stuff exclusive and unseen will directly increase your revenue. When you say fighting piracy is whack a mole - producers read that and they don't even try - this is incredibly damaging. Content Producers who do nothing to protect their stuff are a HUGE problem, it gives carte blanche freedom for thieves to run hog wild I read so many otherwise intelligent people saying things like "If you just spent your time working on shooting forgot about chasing pirates you would end up more successful in the end" This attitude is what empowers pirates to continue their leeching and wholesale destruction of the industry. Also the biggie is "The people who pay for porn are a totally different consumer that people who torrent" While this has some element of truth there for many types of content it's not true at all. The more targeted and specific your material is, the more rare, unique, or sought after your content is - the less this is true. My content is rare and highly sought after and the exact same guys will gladly pay me or pay a filelocker or do torrents. I see instant and direct results from takedowns. This industry is systematically LETTING piracy happen through complacency and inaction. When you guys throw up your hands and say "Well there is so much piracy nothing you can do to stop it" BULLSHIT. I go after them with private investigators, lawyers and shit storms of DMCA. And they stop, they stop NOW. When you are a small company with highly specific and highly in demand content - piracy is DEVASTATING. I have some pirates that probably make as much money as I do with my content, the few who refuse to stop will regret it and I am not talking about shooting them or beating them up, street justice can take many forms and I am smart enough not to land in jail. You assholes chose to make DMCA impossible so the gloves are off now with regards to a couple of my worst offenders (pretty sure 2 of them are here on GFY) I'm sitting here looking at photos of them - full Names, Address, DOB, moms address', GF's address, DL - backgrounds, employers. You think I won't serve papers to your moms house so she can read the whole compliant and know what a scumbag you are? You think I won't drop a file on your GF's table at starbucks or show up at your wedding (yes she instagrams your entire life) and make a scene? You think I won't walk in and have a talk with your boss about what you are doing with your work computer on company time? Non-standard forms of fighting pirates don't necessarily mean violence or killing. But if I caught someone in my house stealing jewelry they might not survive, and this isn't a whole lot different. |

I had a roque uploader threaten me personally after he got a form email asking him to stop, it's a violations of the sites TOS, etc. He thought he was being sneaky by changing part of his name & address on his signup info. He's a closeted morman in Utah that works for a government agency :1orglaugh:1orglaugh The "pirate" culture has misled so many to think everyone is so easily anonymous and there are no repercussions for what they do. It's a shame. |
aden so sexy when mad ;)

I never understand why people get all judgemental with others for being rightfully furious if they are getting screwed.
Would you say the same judgements things if a mugger stole a woman's purse And the woman or someone gave a beating to the mugger? I believe in an eye for an eye. now , major physical harm is a bit much for piracy but for sure if the victim were to get their their property or payment by illicit means id feel justice was done. The legal system is a sham for thsoe that dont have the major financial means to hire qualified legal counsel For a long battle of legal bullshit. So should the victim just roll over If they cant make headway legally? is that what everyone telling him to pipe down Believes? I regretfully abide by our legal system but I feel for people in this situation as I've been there And its a result of having no other means to make right What was stolen / cheated from you. |

one reason for the piling on and name calling is that some of them are either all out pirates or in bed in some way with pirates. They are making money from piracy but because they aren't the ones actually chopping watermarks they think they are innocent bystanders. Like the lovable GFY favorite JFK who is advertizing in his sig for a company that at this very moment has material stolen from me (my watermark chopped replaced by theirs) on their sites. But hey he doesn't set their policies right! Have fun at the shows toasting to what a good year it was while the likeness' of my models is racking up sales for you hahahaha Cheers! |

I'm curious to know more about the anonymous email he sent and how capitalized on it, if you are able to share that is. Like you I have guys waiting to steal from me the moment I post something - the VERY NEXT DAY my watermark is chopped and its being distributed as new material competing for the same surfers. Imagine having your bike stolen, going out to buy another bike - and the thieves are waiting behind your garage to steal the new one. |
You'd think someone older who is essentially a PR company (JFK), would know better than to involve himself in drama for no good reason
I have no vested interest in this industry, so I don't really care about my image in it. I try to speak the truth. JFK you got involved in this thread for zero reason... and as a result, it was mentioned that you are in bed with the very people who are destroying(some would say destroyed) this industry. You distance yourself from it by saying "I don't set their policies", but anyone with a clue knows you are directly enabling piracy. You're accepting money from pirates, and advertising for pirates. So.... Was your drive by comment worth it? :1orglaugh Congrats to all the winners |
I buy car stereos from the local neighbourhood car thief.
I have nothing to do with the theft, I just buy the stereos. I don't set their policies so it's not my problem that they are stolen. This is awesome! I've found my new deflection template |
THE BABYSITTER? Bladwire HoleE Shit that is the craziest thing I have ever heard of...content theft is one thing but child theft? Special place in hell for that woman

There's no such thing as a serious tough guy who has to work this hard convincing others he's a serious tough guy.
Competent, secure people generally never qualify themselves to others as it does nothing but express insecurity. They simply act and do. Just a thought..... |

Well it's been going on for months, and I'm just now barely discussing it publicly, and pretty much going back to not discussing it publicly. If they push on confidentiality and give me the information I want, I'll honor that, with no veiled references etc. If they don't give info, then we're filing, and GFY will be notified, just for the fuck of it. This guy has put so much of his life into his public image that I'm astounded he doesn't just roll over, then again, he's in a tight place as the "organization" likely knows what I know about him, if not more. Either way he loses in the end. He has to decide, does he want to lose doing the right thing, or lose protecting organized crime. He should have a Mea máxima culpa confiteor deo omnipoténti moment , do the right thing, and be done with it. Quote:
Anything else you want to share contact me privately. I've already reached out. |

THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE OP - THE OP WERE MY THOUGHTS NOT BLADEWIRES COMMENTS. I would never say I would shoot anyone or blow anything up.. When I said those thoughts were mine entirely I was talking about the ORIGINAL POST which in no way threatened any violence. Read it again to grasp. Maybe next time read things twice before throwing out insults. |
