Content Theft

[Rochard]

It seems I can't turn around without seeing content theft on the Internet these days. Everyone seems to think that they can take any picture they find on the Internet and use their picture.

I've shut down three sites this week, and this doesn't include what I've passed over to our attorney.

One of them - a guy named Jeff - thought it was okay to sell my entire websites on CD ROM. It took a bit of effort to track him down, but when I found his phone number his mother answer. She was a bit surprised to find out he was pushing porn. (Damn college kids!)

Another site was using pictures from Lightspeed Sorority on it's tour - it's entire tour was composed of our pictures.

Today was the final straw. We found a local mag here in Phoenix using Jordan Capri's pictures.

Bullshit. I'm no longer firing off warning shots. From now on it goes straight to our attorney.

it's completely out of control. i shut down new sites every week.

two days ago i posted on gfy a complete rip of my shit: tour, galleries, members area. all my video. fucked up.

however, despite it all, it's still possible to maintain a sweet profit margin at this point.

Well, I'm certainly suprized you found a hardcopy mag actually using stolen content. That takes some real balls. I know I'll see my shit on the Usenet soon, it's just a matter of time.

DRM hardware will change this very soon. not software DRM. its coming soon and most surferes will have it.

You can buy all out content on DVD in NYC but we did not put it out.. You can get bangbus and nastydollars from the same guy..

I have the DVDs in my office.. Funny shit

(Damn those pictures keep popping up once a month.....)

Those pictures seem to be properly labeled, and seem to belong to someone or another. I, on the other hand, was in a public place while those pictures were being taken.

Look at the first picture..... See all those people in the mirror? That's right - They each paid $20 a pop to see me naked!

How tough is it to stop them in a situation like this??

there are people right in this industry who do it on a much grander scale by the name of AdultBouncer and nobody says a word about it - cept me and maybe a few others. Millions and millions of dollars stolen and AVN Online says nothing, YNOT News says nothing - nobody says anything.

right now they are wriggling around trying to buy their way out of trouble with another movie company.

shame on AVN most of all. the adult movie companies that made a dork like Paul Fishbein rich have been anally raped by many web companies for years and they have nothing to say.
