I know the people from AB and a friend of me provides their content and I know that all their stuff is licensed.
A few others tho that are trying to copy AB are using illegal content but those networks won't last very long.

What does that have to do with this thread?????? :eek7

Are you serious?
 

'Cause he's a fucking moron who doesn't know how much anything costs in life.


OH MY GOD! Hope you are talking Canadian dollars. Just kidding, even so that's way too much!

Because of the need for folks that are wanting to get into a movie site, but can't afford the high startup costs. Thus they turn to stolen content for their needs, my solution offers them the ability to get into a paysite for $12,000 and still get close to what they would $$$ wise if it was just them :)

Tell ya what asswipe, you build a cluster server that can handle the load of 50 webmasters that are able to do 20 to 50 signups a day, and that can hold 1500 videos online for under $50,000 and I've got 3 or 4 hundred extra MB/sec on a couple of my Gig-E connections that I will throw at it, and we will see who the moron is :1orglaugh

People that are ignorant should keep thier mouths shut so that the rest of us don't catch on to what goofy fucks they really are.

i know a couple of people who've used AB - i heard there was quite a shake down on stolen content about a year ago - and that they did a huge deal to license a large amount of dvds. and also hired someone full time to do nothing but go through the sites looking for stolen content.

anyway, that's what i've heard. and yes, they are huge. i'm sure 30K+ members.

I dont think many people will pay 12k to get into a paysite. Dunno, just an assumption.

Heard Exactly the same thing, they had tons of "illegal content" but just swung a deal with the companies so a percentage of each membership goes to the production companies

True. But where else can you get access to $400K worth of content and still make the same amount of $$$'s as from your own paysite ?? AB & Deluxepass seem to be doing pretty well, and it looks like more and more surfers are looking to the movie sites to get their rocks off, so where would you rather invest your next $$$'s into, another picture site ( which by the way $12K would barely give you enough to compete with all the other pic sites out there) or in a joint venture that has the ability to survive fast growth, and has enough content to keep them rebilling for months ???? That's the only reason that I brought it up in the first place.

Pipecrew where did u hear this?


IF the video companies did reach some kind of deal with AB like that they are really stupid. How are they supposed to trust what AB tells them when it comes to their membership count?

anybody who takes that kind of deal should know they are going to get screwed unless they are given the opportunity to audit the company's books. even that doesn't help much.

Hollywood studios work this way, they give away points on what they call the 'backend' of the deal, based on the net profits of a movie, guess what - there are never any net profits cuz they fix the books to show no profit and the idiot who was promised a
% payout gets nada.

Here's what it sounds like to me. AB got called on the carpet by
some adult video companies, rather than get into some legal nightmare, both sides came to an agreement.

I'd have to take a look at their movie list to see how many different producers are in their library of 2,000 titles.

I gotta say that fucking over these companies really does pay. None of them except for VIVID and a handful of others have the money or smarts to do anything. So what a webmaster does is just rip off the content, build up a nice operation like AB or DP or even a smaller site like Moo-Movies. When the day comes that you get a letter from some of the companies you've ripped off, you listen to them yell a bit, tell them you're sorry and that you'd like to make right with them. You write them a check and do some deal with them and you go merrily on your way.

Cuz you can bet when AB started and I don't know anything about this DeluxePass outfit they didn't fork over $1 million bucks for their video library.

I don't know how these streaming companies like Dreamzotic, AEBN and Gamelink work their deals with the hundred or so different vid companies they do business with.

So far only Vivid has shown they know how to do business online, Wicked has done ok. The rest are right out to fucking lunch.

Go look at that shithole of a website Anabolic runs or Extreme Associates.

Ed Powers hooked up with Ken Lawson of Cashquest. I guarantee you that Ed now has more members than Anabolic and Extreme put together - probably 5 times as many.

I understand your point Mutt but I cant rewrite history, thats what happened with AdultBouncer... As for deluxepass, I have NO clue how they are still around, nothing on that site is licensed, atleast adultbouncer takes the issue SOMEWHAT seriously

Pipecrew -

I wonder if they just put this up for your benifit on the webmasters page ???

I had a problem with AdultBouncer at one time and they were pretty fast at fixing the problem and having the webmaster of the site remove my content.
