Umm I produce content, I own content lots of it and most of it is content that I didnt produce. I will be launching some sites and trust me my content wont get ripped off. Im just not backwards thinking. Im forward thinking. People are clinging to the old ways of doing things. It wont work much longer. More forward or fall behind.

So you offer a 1 week trial for 9.95. Now what is to stop me from signing up and ripping the full site all your vids, all your pictures to my hard drive? That 9.95 gives me full access correct? Do you have anyway to keep your content from being taken and me only spending 10 bucks? Boy thats a lot of risk for 9.95 dont you think? I spend 10 bucks and now I add all your content to my p2p share folder to help out the p2p community. You have to think.

Limited trial members area :winkwink:

There are ways to protect it. Why are you depending on existing things in order to protect your assets? INNOVATE! If your content wasnt able to be stolen would you be worried about p2p?

Ok so instead of 10.00 30.00. Is it worth risking someone grabbing everything you have on your site for 30.00?

Well see here is where the branch splits. If someone likes what they see on your site, but cannot find it on a p2p they just might sign up right? Lead the way let the rest follow.

Please read my post more thoroughly before improperly summarizing my position. I said:

"The Badoink crew are GOOD people and I'm sure they will do what is necessary to correct the situation."

No worries he thinks Im a she too, so his reading comprehension isnt grade A to begin with. lol. :1orglaugh

No thread is complete without CockParrot.

Bump for CockParrot and p2p programs.

it really sucks to see threads like this and the replies that are contained

one side protecting their content and worried about programs like badoink

the other side says badoink is cool and it is the webmasters job to protect his content

I agree it is my job to protect my content to the best of my ability, but to say that I am in the wrong when someone else is charging $20-40 to access my content from their members area, is well, just ludacris

basically, what stickyfingerz is saying, is that it is ok for hackers to backdoor into a server and eat up bandwidth with a torrent they left sitting on the box, and it is the admins fault for not locking down the server properly and the hacker should not be faulted in the least

badoink provides access to illegally distributed content, plain and simple, whether or not the content owner locked it properly is irrelevant

i am curious though stickyfingerz, what is your stance on GUBA? because this is a VERY similar situation

Thank you Rand.

so, what did Badoink do to rectify the situation? I see they are now sponsoring large industry events....my question is, why are large industry leaders letting a company that is KNOWN for promoting stolen content sponsor these events?

The bolded part doesnt make sense to me. You know a torrent file is just what directs your torrent client to the proper place to download it from the peers right? They would have to have a torrent client or server running on your box and pushing files in order to use up any bandwidth.

So riddle me this. If someone compromises your box and is using it to spam non compliant mailings off containing links to cp whos fault is it? Sure the hacker did it, but Id say some responsibility lies in the admins hands to keep their resources secure.

Sorry but this all falls back to secure your shit. If you are allowing your content to be stolen, then distributed by surfers you need to change something. So if someone copied all your content to dvds and shoved them into mailboxes all along the highway would you sue the postoffice?

fault lies equally

Badoink got rid of the P2P feature after this thread came up - they just didn't make a public statement about it.

no shit? now that is good news! why didn't announce it publicly?

You'll have to ask them about that, I just know they got rid of it. :upsidedow

Daily download limit (love it - learn it - use it - if you start a paysite)

Bump for a demo on this. :)

This is essentially a fencing of stolen goods operation
