Are adult forum video mega threads legal??
Good morning!
Quick question for any knowledgeable on this topic.
I've recently started an adult forum as a new side project and had a few transplants from other adult forums join and start posting. I created a category for them to post their "mega threads" as I have seen from these other forums they tend to be extremely popular.
Most of the top 20 adult forums have these types of forums available for posters.
The posters generally compile a gallery hosted through image twist, and then post various links to download the video they share. Usually a file joker or rapid gator link.
Obviously they make money when someone clicks the gallery or initiates a download. But is this illegal and in violation of the video owners copyright? Are the majority of these posters copyright owners?? Or...how does it work exactly?
Lets say I download a video from pornhub and upload it to rapid gator and then embed the video in a post on my forum and offer the download link through rapid gator. Is this illegal?
It seems phishy and I don't want my forum to be associated with any illegal activity, however the popularity of this practice seems massive. Like I said the top xxx forums on the web seem to be explicitly built exactly for THIS reason.
Any thoughts?
