don't worry about it, i'm resending for my own records.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Well said!

Nobody is kicking anyone's ass anywhere. Why front?

As for arguing about prostitution / porn not being the same kind of loophole as DMCA, lol. Not sure what kind of porn you are watching but I haven't seen much in the way of acting. It's a fucking loophole and you know it.

And what if prostitution is legal? It's legal here, so if even if pornography were considered prostitution there can't exist a loophole because both things are legal.

DMCA is also an "american" thing. If non-us parts have a copyright conflict, DMCA become irrelevant for all parts. Also ISPs, courts etc... Jurisdictions are loopholes to?

don't worry about it unless you're the one showing up at the forum for brazzers.

they might be able to hide behind the DMCA safe harbor but they won't be able to hide from me...

i'm not a keyboard tough guy, i can back my mouth up. they're not going to steal our content and then come to our forum and have a good old time.

You are GFY member number 5,793 that was going to kick someones ass at the show. Ironically, you are also number 5,793 that was not a keyboard tough guy and could back his mouth up.

It won't happen, your mad ass does not want to go to jail (premeditated much) and if you see someone from Brazzers there will probably be a picture of you talking to them nicely that pops up on GFY.

Call them assholes, tell them they are scum but don't say you are going to hit anyone when you are not. :pimp

Yes thank you professor. I understand that porn is protected by the 1st amendment.

But let's cut the shit. Performers in porn arent acting. They're fucking. And they're getting paid to fuck. Same as a prostitute. You put a camera on the former and its protected by the first amendment.

Shouldnt even be an issue as prostitution should be legal but that's a thread for another time.

Since I'm located in the US and Steve Lightspeed is also from the US I was basing the ironic comment on US laws.

Well, that's your personal "moral" opinion and not something decided by courts. Porn will still be porn if we remove money out the equation. Prostitution will not and that is the technical difference.

Prostitution is legal here, so it can't be a loophole for me anyway :)

The way I see it, a porn business that is based upon voluntary contracts and authorization between the involved parts, is much better than a porn "business" which use the loophole in DMCA, unauthorized and without contracts to profit. If you think porn is prostitution, then isn't both of these models using the same loophole? I can't see the irony, because the only thing left to compare would be the copyright issues.

"If it wasn't for dick heads like you, there wouldn't be any thievery in this world!"


Translated: If it wasn't for guys like you who were stealing shit, we wouldn't have to worry about any of this.

Feel free to use any of the ideas.

There are many levels to fight piracy, one is what Steve is doing and if it's successful it will cause a shit storm for sites who have anything to do with anonymous uploaders. They will be a cash cow there to be milked by many. Yes there are 10,000s of them. Which just means a deeper pool of cash.

Some of my ideas are what others can do.

I like your idea of taking action, but what will you do if they only show up with female reps? Attack them too?

It is always easy for cowards to hide behind soft shields.

Have Chica whip their female reps! After all, she's the skin in the game who is watching helplessly as her work is being devalued and Fabian/Nathan is making the money that should rightfully be hers.

I don't think Fabian/Nathan or any other person who is in charge of these kinds of sites realizes what's going to happen when they come up against a husband/wife team. They are fucking with the wrong people...they are fucking with blood and family.

Not sure if any of the guys on here telling Dave that he won't do anything realize what he will do. But when somebody takes the food off of YOUR very table and you have sacrificed and went through all the hell with your family and taken the risks that a true mom&pop setup in porn goes through...only to see the monetary gain that you worked so hard for taken by goddamn thieves, then you would understand.

dgraves isn't playing around. He's not some "webmaster" fat fuck sitting behind a keyboard. And there are plenty more just like him out there.

Chica's crazy! she's half mexican, half irish so you know what that means.

the first night we went out she drank all my booze, bunched the shit out of me and stole my hubcaps!

i'll take one for the team and maybe get some publicity out of it.

Fuckin' brilliant! I hadn't even considered that! Could you just imagine the new eyes on Chicas Place if it was on CNN and Fox News? Hell yeah!

Which invalidates anything you've said since.

People get all bent out of shape due to the threats of violence etc on them for stealing. But they are literally taking food out of my kids mouths when they steal and as a parent, I'm sorry but if you do that your going down. People are getting desperate, and I could see more than keyboard warriors rising in the near future.


I thief comes to my house to steal, I have the RIGHT to shoot them dead.

Most guys rather buy them a beer :disgust

If you haven't already, you should marry that woman. :thumbsup

Yeah...that'll teach 'em! :1orglaugh

Honestly, I think a lot of people were kinda in shock at first. Couldn't believe it. Nobody blatantly monetized entire members areas that belonged to other people before on this kind of scale to the point that it is driving people out of business.

Used to be if you found your content on someone else's site, a phone call took care of it. And every once in a great while two parties would go to war and go to court.

But never, never anything like finding your stuff on tens of thousands of sites all at the same time and watching your property become worthless to you.

Just talking to a lot of people at shows over the last couple of years, a LOT of them were blissfully unaware of what was happening. And others didn't think it was a big deal...

I remember talking to my buddy Mark at the XBIZ show in the summer of 2007. I had for the first time seen our stuff being stolen everywhere (we opened CM's site in May that year).

So I asked him: "What are you guys at Naughty America doing about this for your content? I'm seeing it everywhere and I'm noticing that my sales to you guys are not good anymore"

He told me: "We're not worried about it, it's free advertising!"

A year later he was no longer with Naughty America. :(

It's only the last year or so that the majority of folks started realizing what was really happening. And now that they are FINALLY waking up, they are starting the process of doing something about it.

Hopefully no more buying the thieves beers and taking pictures together.

Ask Mark where he works now, he told me he sells ads on tube sites. :Oh crap

This is 2010. The new trend is "no bullshit" :upsidedow

If the people doing most of the illegal downloading and watching never had an intention to pay for it in the first place then they arnt taking anything off you or your table.

I remember some game dev. saying something like that and it makes sense when you think about it. They downloaded the game because it was free, they would never had bought it in the first place so you arnt out any $.

Wow. You're absolutely right! Apparently 100% of the people who discover that a product is being given away for FREE will then make the decision to never buy it! And if you ask them after they STEAL it IF they would ever have bought it in the first place they say "no".

What a revelation! And did you also know that every convicted murderer is "innocent" and has also found "jesus"?

EDIT: And let me ask you a question...why don't you give me the authority to open a website that offers to give away all those domain names you're selling for FREE? And then when they are all gone...ask the new owners if they ever would have bought them in the first place. And then tell me that it didn't take anything off you or your table.

Anyways... you should check out katzporn, some of your content is on there.

Thanks. I'll get that over to RYC right away.

Just jumped through all the hoops and found one of those links that actually works. It's one of my recent updates...so I downloaded it (painfully slow) and sure enough, it's the little 480 x 272 resolution low bit rate downloadable version that I give my members to download.

It's NOT the high res HD big and pretty stream that can only be found in my members area.
Sweeeet!

It's a shame that others don't do what I'm doing and save your business. It's easy and effective. I have not found even one instance of my high quality vids anywhere but my members area since I implemented this.

All I see are old scenes that were available (and still are available on my VOD section) for download a couple of years ago. Any of my newer scenes that leak out are all low res/low bit rate.

It keeps it down to a mild roar until RYC can get to it and swat it down like an irritating mosquito.

Any of you that own paysites who would like me to show you my methodology just contact me. I won't be at the content protection forum because I'm not sure that anybody there can show me much of anything, and I haven't yet seen that there are going to be any speakers with any real experience in what I'm doing. So just get in touch with me privately.

Most of the people don't buy porn. Even in the great days conversions were 1-50 (2%) so most people don't buy porn at anytime.

What has happened with the escalation of free porn is now even that 1 or 2% don't buy, they watch for free.

Well hello everyone.
This is Steve Lightspeed's %$#^!@* lawyer who is handling his lawsuit (this way I can let several of the posters here fill in the blank).

I would like to congratulate Steve for sticking with us for the whopping 30 days or so it took for us to go from starting the lawsuit to getting him his first check (Should go out tomorrow Steve). 30 DAYS. Is it huge? No(t yet). Is it more than Steve would have made had he sat around complaining on a blogsite about how everyone else is a loser? Yes.

Steve, I look forward to many more checks and laughing at all the people who think that illegal down loaders are somehow fans that need to be treated with kid gloves rather than the industry destroying thieves they are. I can't wait to sue a couple of thousand more pirates for you. I will see you in a couple of weeks.

John Steele

Last Thought:
I promise to stop suing thieves the minute that I stop making money doing it. Oh, we just filed three more lawsuits in federal court today.

jaw dropping awesome

i think there is a lot of acting that goes into fucking. The girls fake it probably 9 out of 10 times. It's just poor acting, but its still acting. What you see on a porn videos doesn't go on in real life, at least not in 99% of the bedrooms out there. And some porn actually has story lines and plots, not just start to finish fucking.

Just like anything else it's the intent. If joe blow takes his camera out and drives up and down the strip for hookers, records himself fucking them and then gets busted and says "its for my porn business", if he has no website, no store, no proof of a business it wont fly. Also a hooker isn't going to sign off on 2257 docs or enter into a contract either.

I've met a few scary guys about 10 years ago that had stacks of polaroid pictures they took of naked girls, they promised the girls would make money but they either didn't have intentions of trying to sell the content or they sucked at it, either way it does provide an avenue for some people to "play" business and have sex for pay and it not be postitution. BUt in the vast majority of the cases I wouldn't say porn = postitution, that there is no acting ,etc... that's not true.

nice work john!

trying tell that to his children.
