so you better adapt to todays reality than cry about how unfair the reality is.
Offering Trial memberships should be reconsidered. Making it harder to rip
the content and yes that's possible...even while the leech has a paid membership. For example displaying your content dynamically which makes it
harder to simply rip it.....ripping flash video for example is possible but the
quality you end up with isn't the same as watching it stream.
Creating other reasons than just pics/vids why people would want to come
to your sites rather than just grabbing some pics/clips.
Interactive elements, member interaction, community environment are a few
examples that come to mind.
Or you could just sit back, cry and pray you can keep your head from going
under before the storm is over  |
That is pretty much a given. I wouldn't assume that because people are discussing this ( or crying about it as you put it) that they are not taking steps to try to make their site more appealing and add things to their site that people can't steal (chat rooms, messageboards, etc.. anything interractive).
Getting rid of the trial membership is dumb IMO. If someone wants to rip your site they will do it at $29.95 and then charge it back . IF you do away with the trial memberships now you are really forcing people to go look for it free. If people can get a membership for 2.95 they will likely do it. If their only option is 29.95 I bet more of them will say fuck it and try to find it for free.
