You don't 'get the problem' because you don't want to get it.
Why do you think web companies come to me and other people selling custom content and pay alot of money for exclusive movies and photos? One of the reasons is so they can LEGALLY give their affiliates that content to promote their websites. Get real here son.
Do you honestly think that when you license content from Paul Markham, AMA Content, MatrixContent and a hundred others that YOU have been granted the right to GIVE that content away to affiliates to use to promote your and in an AVS systems case, the affiliates' sites? No - EVERY web content license includes language to cover that. IF you want to use the content in ANY other way you must go to the content provider and negotiate with them and PAY them what they want for that usage. Why do you think you don't see ALL the AVS systems giving away all this free content? Because they all know they have no right to do what AB and DP do. And as for AdultLegal, they let it happen - a broker doesn't give a shit about anything but making a sale.
As for Redlight District, I spoke to Dion Giarussi a year ago, he had NO idea, had NEVER been informed by anybody what an AVS is, how his content was being used - I showed him hundreds of AVS sites belonging to AB and DP, sites not owned by AB and DP, but by affiliates totally built around Redlight content. There are hundreds of people who are very lucky Dion is not of the same mindset as Jules Jordan.
Don't talk about what you don't know about -
http://www.redlightrevenue.com - go to the bottom of the page -
I am familiar with Redlight and consider them friends.
It's possible that Redlight has given some people the okay on certain extended uses, I know they are contacted alot by people - I don't speak about what I don't know about. I do know I told them that the usage DP and others have undertaken with the content is worth at least the raw cost of producing an exclusive video. I have a new customer who now buys exclusive videos from me because 1)he wants to be able to do what he wants with his content 2) the Redlight content gets so overexposed so quickly it doesn't convert.
Redlight hasn't seen a fraction of what that content is worth. And you know it. And AdultLegal knows it. And AdultBouncer knows it. And DeluxePass knows it.
