Can any paysite owner confirm this?

So im totally wrong and instead of pissing the surfers off they actually love this system and rebill month after month while knowing somewhere else its theirs forever once downloaded?

I think it is a reasonable enough thing to do.Originally posted by Battuss
You mustve missed my point. If this is about protecting content then why is everybody going after the 1 month option where the surfer wont be able to access his downloaded content anymore.
Explain that please. Protecting content doesnt seem to be the real issue here.
Why should the surfers be able to download 100's of movies for 40$ and watch them for ever?
That is a pretty sweet deal for them and a bad deal for us
I think that allowing them to watch as many movies as they want for $35-$40 a month is very reasonable, as long as they pay that every month.
Ofcourse websites have to make that clear to the surfer so he doesn't think it is like on most sites were he can download all he wants and keep it for ever.
DRM is the best thing that could possibly have happened in this industry, maybe rebills will go up, and file-sharing go down, and there for increase new signups, and more rebills

If the content is unique and high quality, surfers will stay and recur DRM or not.
The more unique the content the more reason to use DRM.

the variables shoud be set for a specific amount of time, definitely....but if a surfer downloads content he SHOULD be able to watch for a determined amount of time...even if he cancels.....now if the surfer needs to watch the same fucking clips over and over again forever....that is just stupid...how many times can you watch the same clip(or movie) anyway?
You should set the DRM on exclusive movies produced for your site...but have an archive of movies..say older than 90 days...that the surfer can download and keep forever...just DRM the CURRENT new stuff....it seems that would work to me....Comment

DRM is a must, and pretty much every decent exclusive site is either already using it or in the process of setting it up, takes a while to encode video especially when you have tons of it.
Its our fault that we got surfers used to free porn but that will change, yeah shitty non exclusive content will always be out there without DRM but who cares about those sites.
Webmasters will win and its only a matter of time before surfers will get used to this and everyone will benifit.
Only a matter of time, I have yet to talk to anyone who has been using it for a while that regrets it.

So if you rent a movie on PPV on cable or satelite do you charge it back since you are only allowed to view it once?Originally posted by Battuss
Chargeback hell.
Personally i think its ripping the surfers off. Not only that its scaring them from signing up for a site again in the future.
Also personally i would do a chargeback if i find out after a month i cant access the content i paid for. Unless theres a big fat link on the signup page about it ofcourse, then its my own fault.
Do you chargeback a video store rental because you can't keep the movie forever?
Do you ask for your money back at a restaurant because you can't keeping eating there for free ocne you paid for your first meal?Comment

DRM is a waste. What is next, $10 programs?Comment

What is wrong with using DRM on your videos? It makes perfect sense - you protect your content, you can retain members longer becasue they will lose access to stuff they've downloaded, and it keep your movies that you dropped your money into from making the rounds on file sharing networks.
DRM is smart business.Comment

If I would own a paysite I would use DRM, too. With the average broadband internet access of Joe Surfer and a download manager he can download the whole member site in 2-10 days. Why should this membership reccur?
DRM is like a Pay TV solution. The surfer doesn't buy the content, has the right to see it if he is paying for. I can imagine that a surfer is downloading the most of the content in the first days of his membership. If he has the vids on his hard disk and he is trying to cancel the membership he could get a special offer to keep the membership and a DRM licence (like $5-15$ per month)
A lot of surfers share the paysite content in peer to peer networks. If the content is DRM protected and the licence is set to never expiring peer to peer users couldn't use the movies without paying for this.
Regarding the safety of the drm stuff: Microsoft has invested a lot of money in DRM. If there is a gap in the security of DRM Microsoft would close them really fast.Comment

When you spend millions of dollars producing content like we do, protecting it is important. DRM is an awesome way to do so. However, if you want webmasters to be able to use the episodes for content, you need to be able to provide them with mpgs that they can cut up for galleries.
That said, we are doing both. All webmasters can download all the episodes to build galleries.Comment

I wish I could see some charge back statistics between sites that use only DRM videos and sites that do not. I'm willing to bet sites that use only DRM content set to expire with the membership, consistently have a CB ratio higher than sites that do not use DRM.Comment

I can buy copy dvds here for 50 cents but i buy the originals. if the originals only let me watch the film say 2-3 times, id stop buying and buy copies.
Piracy exists but so do honest customers.Comment

I've said it before and i'll say it again... if you have lots of good quality exclusive content, then DRM works well - providing you inform the surfer that the site uses DRM and how it works before they part with there money.
The DRM rules are very flexible and you can be as mean or as lax as you want it to be.
As for the increase in chargebacks...

Well, i can only can say this then. I cant wait for all you guys to start "protecting your content" in other words, limit his viewing pleasure to 1 month.
Like another guy said before in this thread, i will place a huge fat link on my tours DRM FREE CONTENT. Im happy to take over your pissed members. So actually i dont give a fuck if you all want to fuck your surfers over. My surfers can download a vid and watch that same vid for 6 years if they want.Last edited by Dirty F; 08-04-2004, 12:57 AM.Comment

What is the point of having a membership site then? Download all your movies on your high speed line then cancel in a day or so, then all that material goes onto the trading system, now that makes sense...right?
DRM is the future, it works for us, its making us money now with options for those who are not members now, they are re joining and pay per viewing movies.

Well first of all if a freeloader is thinking he can pay $3.95 and download all a sites content in 3 days then that's the type of customer sponsors don't need. When all paysites are using DRM( because it makes sense ) then Joe Freeloader won't have much choice but to fork over that monthly membership.Originally posted by SomeCreep
I wish I could see some charge back statistics between sites that use only DRM videos and sites that do not. I'm willing to bet sites that use only DRM content set to expire with the membership, consistently have a CB ratio higher than sites that do not use DRM.
Also how come a surfer understands when he pays $8 for a PPV movie from the Spice channel he gets to see that movie ONCE. How come this same surfer understands when he rents a porno at the video store he has to bring it back the next day. But yet some the concept of not being able to see content after his membership to a porn site expires is beyond his grasp?
By the way if he tried to chargeback, well I assume this same technology can tell which computer downloaded what content so I wonder how Visa will look at a guy trying to get his $3.95 back after it's been proven he's downloaded 50 gigs of porn?
I will say that a good solution would be for that website to offer the surfer to keep that movie forever for a fee even after his membership expires. Kind of like buying a DVD after you've rented it.Comment

The reason why tgp2 failed is because it was impossible to change the whole tgp system. Surfers who hit tgp2 sites found out there are plenty of other sites (normal tgps) that show 16 pics, so they had no reason to ever to return to a tgp2 site.
I see the same future for drm. Its impossible to get all the paysites to use this so unless your content is so damn good that the surfer wants to pay month after month for the same content you will lose sales to paysites who dont use drm. At the least not the ones who fuck the surfer after a month.
So once again, i cant be bothered really that all you people are so innovative and spending 1000's to fuck your surfers.Comment

I know it can protect my movies, i know i can fuck my surfers over with it. Why do i need to install it to back up my theory.
So what are you claiming, your retention is better than ever because you cancel their license after a month?
Can you show stats? From before drm and after drm installed?
Is your content THAT amazing that the surfers keep rebilling month after month to see the same fucking movie they already downloaded 3 months ago?Comment

Like it or not, we have spent the last 8+ years educating the surfer that he can download content and enjoy it for ever. It doesn't matter what we might have done if DRM technology had existed from the start, we have established his expectations. Comparisons with other industries and other media are irrelevant.
If we want to change that now we can, at least we should have the sense to do it gradually. Those who are planning to make an immediate switch and expire movies with the membership: how many are going to make that clear to would-be members? I can near guarantee not too many, because they know damn well the surfers won't like it. Who thinks surfers are going to like it any more when an expiry date is built into a movie and they weren't warned?Comment

So Gator, you are honestly saying this is different than tgp2?
With a bit of luck 50% of the companies install drm in the next 2 years and 50% wont. You are really saying that those 50% who installed are gonna do better business than me? Theyre gonna get more rebills than me because they use drm? Stop blindly praising the system and think with your brain for a minute.Comment

Exactly, people keep comparing it with rental movies and stuff. You cant compare it, its something totally different. Weve been having this system since the first paysite out there. To think a 100% change in direction will not only NOT piss the surfer off but also will show as an increase in rebilling is crazy. But once again, im not stopping you. I hereby advice you to use drm and kill the content license after a month. Id love to have your members.Originally posted by jayeff

Another point. Go download a regular movie from one of the movie websites like MovieLink and CinemaNow they use DRM. You can't keep a copy forever. Yet surfers get this concept for mainstream but not porn?

Battuss, you're saying that DRM fucks members over, i totally disagree with that. how does it fuck member over? if member joins the site, on the tour it says that our site uses DRM technology, you as a member get full access to our content for the period of your membership?
ofcourse if you advertise that they get everything in unlimited amounts and can keep your content for as long as they'd like, and then as a member you find out you have a limited access you'd feel screwed.
sites with unique, hot content ARE protecting their propetry AND establishing proper terms of use of their properties, that what DRM stands for - Digital Rights Management.Comment

Battuss you are very annoyning dude, you are blind also,
sounds like you are arguiing just for the sake of it, you make no sense with your bullshit.
the fact is - paysites using DRM make more money. All the big guys are switching to DRM now and because of it soon DRM sites will dominate overall. All you small guys can put "DRM FREE" sales pitch all the way you want, but until those who control the majority of traffic switch to DRM, DRM will win.
You can keep arguing since you like it so much but it won't change the fact that DRM is the future of digital business.Comment

And you people keep comparing this shit with ppv movies and cable. Are y'all blind? Don't you see your local cable company offering Digital Video Recording? Why would they offer DVR? It's because some people want to tape their favorite movie or tv show and watch it later. That's the big selling point that cable companies are using to push that technology...Also, you can use a good old VCR to tape ANY movie that you watch on television and watch it over and over again.
DRM won't be like that until some people can "tape" their favorite episodes for future viewing.....
I like to watch movies on my laptop. When I go visit my friend at her job, she requests that I bring my laptop with me so that we can watch some movies. Since there is no internet connection there, that means no movies and if their are no movies, then I DON'T GET A FUCKING HANDJOB!
I might want to disconnect my laptop from this cable modem and jack off upstairs in the tv room. I can't do that with DMR....I can think of so many ways that a video license would fuck up my viewing experience, that I won't use it until:
#1 The cost of DMR comes down
#2 People can PROVE consistently better rebills using DMR
I don't like fucking the surfer BUT if someone on here can PROVE that their rebills got better AFTER they implemented this technology, then I'll be more willing to try it. But so far, people are just talking about "numbers" without backing it up.Comment
