Manwin aquires Playboy. - GoFuckYourself.com

A little birdie just landed on my shoulder and whispered that into my ear.

Actually, kind of a big birdie.

Might be true, too...considering Playboy is private now. No need for shareholders to vote on shit.

Feel free to discuss.

d-null · 06-07-2011, 09:53 PM

always thought it was interesting that Playboy managed to mostly keep it's content completely off of all the tubes all these years

They have ALWAYS been very active at policing their content, even before tubes.

It has long been common knowledge to stay away from them (Playboy), Suze Randall, Perfect10, among a handful of others.

what was it that made their legal team that much more intimidating to all the pirate tube operators that they respected them so much?

Playboy has a huge legal department and they love to bitch smack people around.

Yeah, but the DMCA law is still the same no matter how good their lawyers are.
I might even hazard a guess that the majority of Playboy's stuff is a little too "soft" to really be in big demand on pirate sites. I know the sales for their paysites have always been one of the lowest I ever promoted.

It was hard for them to compete with the Playboy style vs. Sara Jay getting fucked in the ass. heh-heh

...

that's what I was thinking too

even if they have very soft content, they have so much content out there that it was always surprising to me that the tubes never had a bunch of it up, guess it was trouble they didn't want and went after easier pickings who would just dmca instead of taking it a step further and needing court appearances..... but then I wonder why so many of the others just take the abuse of watching their content all over the place while they endlessly send out dmca's year after year

Every attorney I've talked to...and I got so angry back in 2007 about this that I lawyered up and was ready to rock...all told me that I couldn't do anything about it under current DMCA laws.

Of course, we are now starting to see the beginning of some wins for the good guys here and there. Maybe you're right. Maybe they stayed away from Playboy out of "respect" and worry.

As for the 'why' who knows. Maybe it is the assumption that PB is a huge company, and would sue you if you wanted to lock horns. Typically they would hit you with a C&D, and give you 48 hours to remove the content. They would just keep plugging away until they got your attention. They are not the only one's who've done this however.

Where the other company's do a hit and run so you could shoo fly them away.

SmokeyTheBear · 06-07-2011, 10:41 PM

surprised it took this long really. playboy has been cheap for a long time. cheap enough to just rape the name for a few years and make bank.

Martin · 06-07-2011, 10:47 PM

The reason the playboy content isn't pasted all over the tubes is because they don't have tons of different brokers reselling it for next to nothing. If uploading content was just left to surfers there would be a lot less pirating going on... It takes time to rip/encode/upload full scenes. It's 90% site owners doing it.

plsureking · 06-07-2011, 10:55 PM

wow you guys took a thread about the poss of manwin buying playboy and made it about DMCA. nice hijack tube haters. if u havent figured your way around the tube problem then find other work.

I can see that happening for the internet properties of Playboy. I doubt the magazine and video end.

Easily Possible and would not be a surprise.

I know Heff wasn't liking the porn sites part of Playboy. I do see them selling off all of their porn site assets. They are pretty good and have not been updated in a while.

In some countries in Asia, the Playboy brand is what sells (not the magazine), as many haven't a clue a magazine or adult material even exists. They think they bunny is cute, like the name "playboy" and that is what sells. The stores are selling nothing but Playboy gear. Not a naked pic or a reference to anything adult related to be found. It's treated just like a Hello Kitty shop.

Think I'm going to go shoplift at one if this rumor is true. Revenge will be mine!

seeandsee · 06-08-2011, 02:56 AM

playboy is big brend, what is price of PB?!?

Here the bunny logo seems to be perfectly acceptable as bedroom furnishings for girls

this is true, i am 26 years old and 2 years in this biz, i have been watching porn since .. i cant recall it..

but i never know/knew the playboy was in true adult stuff., like paysites and hardcore material.,
i know they are in magazines stuff.
what sells here is the brand.., people love to buy underwear and belts and other stuffs.,

the "playboy" word is a like "Casanova" for us.,
people even paint "playboy" on their bikes , cars.

while naughty america was damn popular when i was kid. but never heard of playboy porn.

Exactly. Brilliant move for Playboy. They still found their way into markets where their magazine would be frowned upon or illegal.

They actually sell little kids clothing here. No one knows the wiser.

Mutt · 06-08-2011, 03:45 AM

If you think Huge Hefner would sell his life's work to a company with Manwin's reputation you are insane. The Playboy brand is still worth a fortune.

Now Manwin buying up RealityCash, Adult.com and other Playboy properties not connected with the magazine or Playboy.com - I'm sure Playboy would love to get a decent offer and sell to Manwin.

It's true for the playboy logo around here too.... I'm guessing most are just counterfeit anyone...it's not like that logo is hard to imitate.

Yea, a boat load of the playboy branded stuff is just made in China(Hong Kong). They put the bunny on just about everything, Playboy don't get to see a dime of that.

The reason Playboy content isn't on tubes is because it's soft-core glamor shit that nobody faps to once they discover porn.

then your lawyers are idiots

as long as you don't go after the host, but the actual uploaders

you can sue anyone you want

don't expect to turn a profit

but if your willing to burn money you can "send a message"

of course it probably won't be that effective a message, just ask the RIAA
