Watermarking is not too rip off affiliate sales, I want affiliates to make good sales so they keep sending more. duh

I watermark so when my stuff gets ripped off, posted and hotlinked all over the net you have a chance of getting something out of it from your brand.

Or when members join and download your clips and post them to tubes and torrents, whatever it may be.

I do disagree with sponsors that brand with a different domain than the paysite. That's flat out sneaky. I don't do that.

However I believe the main reason they do this is because they are lazy and it takes so much more space and time. A lot of that content is used on many different sites and to re-encode the clips with different matching urls takes double, triple, the time and space, or so on, depending how many sites.

For sure you don't expect us to put content out there with no branding at all on it.

That's the stupidest thing any site owner could do.
