However, if you have a program to stop this, then go for it, maybe charge a small fee, a quid a month and have maybe 10īs of 1000īs of models appreciating your program  |
HI Nat,
I think your method of handling this is solid.
Most people will go to any site, scan and consume images and videoclips of a model, and then move on to another. A small amount of them will become infatuated with certain models, even "fall in love" with them, and end up on your site. It is those users who will become your customers because they are (a) happy to pay you directly because it encourages you to make more content, (b) think that it gets them closer to you for some reason, or (c), both.
You could spend alot of time fighting pirates, but the fight is endless. You may get a reward that pirate xyz has been shut down and feel a small hit of dopamine when this happens, but you crash soon after when you find 10 more pirates have popped.
So maybe the best thing you can do is watermark your images and clips, be sure to actually say the name of your website in the videoclips and even wear branded clothing in your clips too before you rip them off, invite everyone to your site and personally engage them from there.
