    Is the stolen audio in banners on GFY any different than torrent stealing?

    Is usuing stolen audio clips from movies in banners on GFY any different than torrents?

    I bet if you owned the content it wouldnt be, would it?

      No but people don't give a shit about theft unless it'll somehow affect their business

          Exactly. It's deeply serious copyright violation. A deeply seriously annoying one.

            The fact that nobody ever says something about the stolen audio and everyone is whining about torrents, maybe?

              because you arent out there starting a war against it like you are torrents.

              You must support it then. Either you are against stolen content or you are not.

              Personally, i dont care about torrents or what audio you steal, i just get tired of seeing people start witch campaigns about "stolen content" when there are top banner spots using stolen content to get your attention.

              laughable at best

                    All I want is that audio is banned in banner ads.

                      There is no porn company here who gets written ok to use stolen audio from MOTION PICTURES.

                      I need not explain myself here. Stolen content has been used in banners on GFY for years now...

                      Once they used Schultz Snoopy charachter and many times it has been songs/audio and many times quotes from movies. You cannot do this and then try and pass yourself off as "against piracy."

                      Using someones property is illegal, whether it is a cartoon charachter or a sample from a movie.

                        Nothing to do with music. When you steal audio from a MOVIE and use it in your banner, it is illegal.

                        You can dodge it all you want, and ass kissers can start fights all they want - fact remains - stiolen content is being used on this forum in banners to GET YOUR EYES AND make money off the ads.

                        meanwhile, 4 people started anti-torrent sites.

                        Fact is, people are only against torrents because its the new "content crusade" - if torrents were only about stealing music, you webmasters wouldnt even know what the word "torrent" meant. But as soon as someone downloads a blowjob vid, the witch hunt begins.

                        again, laughable at best.

                            The rest of the world regarding the torrent issue:
                            'Who cares about porn industry? They suck one way or another (no pun intended). And what they do is immoral, so stealing from them is actually a good thing, it makes the world better'.

                            Any kind of intellectual property theft sucks, but you just won't realize it until you're affected yourself...

                              and again, i dont care what you steal. Go steal what you want. Make money off it, hell google video makes money off showing others vids. You can too!

                              But I just had to speak on this when I see the torrent crusade in full swing, and meanwhile stolen content is reaching for my attention through VERY EXPENSIVE audio banners.

                              I guess im the only one who sees things for what they are anymore...

                              anyway... got plenty of work to do and not here looking for fights, just setting things straight.

                              go on your crusade if you must, just make sure you look around at what is around you before you get all high and mighty.

                              ive had content, designs, sites, you name it stolen from me. you just gotta move on to the next project.

                                  and right now, i am not sure if theres still a banner with popular music

                                  i think only the duke banner that is waking up my neighboors has sound

                                    Isn't there some guideline that you have to use "X" amount of time before it's infringing? Just curious, but I think I heard that in a DVD commentary regarding a small clip of sound they used. Guy said it was so short because otherwise they would have had to pay for it.

                                      Look I was bringing this up years ago, before someone used Snoopy cartoons in banners, and way back when others were using stolen audio...

                                      the fact is, it is still going on. Why was it not stopped?

                                      Did the people who run this forum stop caring about "stolen content?"

                                      Ummm, i dont consider myself the smartest man in the word, but its not too hard to recognize stol;en audio in banners.

                                      And the banners have been inrotation with stolen content for years now, no one cared or cares.

                                      Do you understand? I run a forum for webmasters, Ive been asked to do audio banners, and I refused. I refuse to put up advertising banners with stolen content in them.

                                      Do you see me starting threads about being anti-piracy?

                                      The righteous are usually part of the problem.

                                        You call that a war? A few threads with 15 posts in it with people asking if it's stolen? Compare this to the torrent threads. It's not even comparable.

                                          I see your point, but not that it's "laughable" This is a PORN webmasters forum. About the PORN business. And the "witchunt" is about taking ENTIRE movies from members areas and stealing them and distributing them for profit without consent.

                                          If this were a Record Industry or mainstream Movie Industry forum then I would suspect that they would be concerned about that.
                                          But since this is a forum for adult webmasters....it makes sense to me that we are addressing our own issues.

                                          The audio being used without permission? You're right. Not legal.

                                          If someone used the entire "Escape From New York" movie as a download to profit using a banner (somehow) then yes, I believe eyebrows would be raised right here on GFY and we who are against content theft would talk about that too.

                                          But when I and many others are having our content stolen, I don't think it's "laughable" that we didn't take umbrage to a banner saying "The Duke Of New York!"

                                          It's wrong to use the audio. But in my list of priorities...on a forum designed to address the adult internet...you have to forgive people for focusing on the bigger problem that affects the adult industry

                                            Somehow I think if you owned the content your opinion would be different.

                                            Which proves my point, the only reason you guys care about "piracy" is when it comes to ripping YOUR content. So the "anti-piracy" cause is a front.

                                            It has nothing to do with piracy. You are either against it or not.

                                            So by downplaying the value of someone elses content, you think this validates your argument?

                                            If I owned rights to a movie, I wouldnt want any of you people using 10 seconds of my property without paying me. Why do you people see their content as not worthy of protection, but your creampie vid is so precious?

                                              but seriously, I agree it's not in the webmaster interest to care about that

                                              I mean, this is a great board but it is run as it is, and there are constantly many things to bitch about, from annoying trolls who don't get banned for two weeks to GFY being often so slow that a thread takes 2 minutes to load

                                              would you also expect webmasters here to start threads with 300 replies asking Lensman to remove a banner from "yet another sponsor" who uses some music in their banner?



                                              not sure how to say it without putting GFY in a bad light, but there are indeed other forums where the owners have a more pro-active approach to certain industry problems than the owners of GFY who - as it seems - run this board more or less on auto-pilot

                                              hell, even Smokey made a thread about Realitycash/playboy content used on torrents to pomote AFF and no one really cared
                                              I don't use ICQ anymore.

                                                          You must support it then. Either you are against stolen content or you are not.

                                                          Personally, i dont care about torrents or what audio you steal, i just get tired of seeing people start witch campaigns about "stolen content" when there are top banner spots using stolen content to get your attention.

                                                          laughable at best
                                                          Now thats some fuzzy logic... lol

                                                          We are suppose to fight all injustices now? If not, it means you approve of those you didnt fight against? lol You pick the ones that concern you directly.. The rest, doesnt mean you approve but you have better things to do then to police the world..

                                                                  I bet if you owned the content it wouldnt be, would it?

There are a few exceptions like Elvis and The Beatles (and a few others) only because the RIAA re-applied for 99 year copywrites on their music so that they can squeeze more money out of people.

Just curious, but I think I heard that in a DVD commentary regarding a small clip of sound they used. Guy said it was so short because otherwise they would have had to pay for it.
                                                                    I was digging around but I couldn't find the info about it. There definitely is something along those lines. Anyone over 30 would remember it from all the legal battles in the 80s over musicians sampling other musicians and sound clips.
