Big Changes to SkinVideo....

[lesbodojo]

Read More About This on AVN Online

Dear Friends,

I am excited to announce that SkinVideo?s library of videos is now made up entirely of licensed professional content and we no longer index USENET content. Having full control over our content allows us to provide our users with the best experience possible.

Over the last year I?ve been buying content in bulk, a/b testing, and making huge changes to our program. For those of you who have supported us, I thank you. We continue to align ourselves with the ASACP, we are protected by RTA blocking and we continue to be fully 18 USC 2257 compliant.

SkinVideo continues to be open to new ideas, partnerships, and affiliates. We would like to open our doors to those who have not had the opportunity to work with us in the past. Please feel free to email me at kathleen [at] skinvideo [dot] com if you?d like to discuss new business. I?ll also be at Internext, if you?d like to schedule a meeting in person.


Best Wishes,

Kathleen

Good to see that they are finally legit I would hardly refer to the unauthorized and illegal use of others property to fuel your growth "hard work"

[fris]

thats some serious business

[FRAUD]

3+ years of knowingly profiting heavily from other content, encouraging affiliates to send traffic to you knowingly fucking content producers and you are seeking pats on the back now?

here is an idea, take the profits you made and distribute them according to video use to the sponsors that you made your "hard work" money from.

there's an idea.

I second that --- you stuck with stolen content until you were forced to buy licenced content. I heard CCBill dumped you and forced your hand here. Nice spin on alot of bullshit.

[DamageX]

So you spent years banking on content stolen from fellow industry members and now you're expecting a pat on the back for re-investing the profits into licensed content? Yeah, you go girl!

Well said Mr. lightspeed

[lesbodojo]

I'm not expecting a pat on the back or anything. Clearly, I'm not going to ever be in some people's good graces. I do understand your position there.

We made some changes. I think they're positive ones.

reading steve's post your company really didnt have a choice but to stop fucking the industry in the ass.sorry mom

[Brazzer]

We sent you guys 4 emails with DMCA , without an answer , we had our lawyers call you guys...still no answer. Its not until our lawyers contacted CCbill and they threathened to shut down your processing that you started pulling the videos ...

But whatever, I guess better late than never, do it legally it will avoid you dealing with some serious issues later...Offenses of that kind will not be taken lightly...

"Hey there neighbor, wanna see the legit, fly ride I bought myself with the money I stole from you?"

You fuckers should be run out of this industry, tarred and feathered.

[lesbodojo]

reading steve's post your company really didnt didnt have a choice.

We did have a choice, as we had other processors. We had been in hybrid mode (licensed content and access to usenet) for about a year before we stopped giving access to usenet. I had told people that we were moving in this direction for some time. Better late than never.

And again, I totally understand that I'm not going to get love from this. It's ok if people continue to dislike me, the company I work for, etc. We made some changes and I think it's for the best.

[DamageX]

Oh and I can't believe the ones in this thread congratulating you. Especially considering some of their sigs...

[Nubiles]

What happened to your ccbill acount?



A few words of wisdom, next time you get a dmca, don't ignore it

[FRAUD]

This thread delivers.

[RawAlex]

Way to go... but it is sort of "we got rich enough stealing everyone else's stuff that now we can afford to buy some".

[uno]

Are these the same people who run GUBA?

How do you live with yourself? How do you go to shows and smile at people knowing you work for a company that was fucking them all.

[Brujah]

She used to work for AFF, what do you expect? She might be at Megarotic next.

[fatfoo]

good move,.........

[Pryda]

If only you guys weren't so strict with the payment methods Checks suck and the $2000 ePassporte limit is just too high.

[Jace]

so, you spent years stealing content and raising enough money to buy it legally, now you want to be congratulated?

wow, this industry never ceases to amaze me

maybe I should build a empire on stolen content, then use that money to go legit....seems easy enough...but oh wait, I have morals!

[Matt Collins]

I would say that we, like any good religion should welcome the converts with open arms.

We push and work so hard to get them to convert to an honest business model, we are honor bound to applaud our success or their good sense.

Either way, I wish you much success as a legitimate business and I hope you will join the crusade against the theft of content and the threat that poses to all of our livelihoods.

That means a lot to me. Thank you.

[lazycash]

Great, now get your parent company Guba to stop selling unlicensed photos.

[FRAUD]

The "convert" was not voluntary. Of course it wasn't. It came from pressure from the industry and more. If they want to go that route, maybe they can give up all the money they made from all the ripped off content. Theres several ways to do that. I bet we don't see anything like that. Get out of here with that "we've converted because it makes sense crap".

[tony286]

i guess matt wants their revshare business. lol
