You'd think people would focus more on stopping the content from leaving their members areas, rather than waste their time focusing on trying to stop a tsunami of opportunists. lol

Sticky, DRM/encrypted streams that do not allow the surfer to download the videos sound like a good idea in principle, but it really has to affect rebilling and customer satisfaction, no? If you are running sites using it now, tell the truth, don't you receive angry emails from members asking why they can't save the videos to their hard drives? I mean, it may work to keep your content from being reposted but at what cost? I simply can't believe that your customers are okay with this and are happy to keep paying to not be able to save the videos.

The problem is everyone worried what "might" happen. The error happened long before most of us were in Adult. The model was flawed from the get go. Jim all I ask is this. And answer honestly. Do you think that a member should be allowed to keep all videos in a members area for the price of renting them? This needs changed over industry wide. No more video downloads they can keep forever. Personally I would MUCH prefer to wack it to streaming vids rather than wait for them to download. Who runs Videobox? Ask them which does better their streaming model, or their download model. They have both available to the member. Shit Im even a member there, and I pick streaming everytime unless there is a vid I really want to see and they dont have that option yet. Who watches the same porn vid more than once and wacks to it again within say even 1 month? Maybe if that was their ONLY video to watch yes, but if they are offered the option to watch a fresh vid they have never seen and looks hot they will choose new over old everytime. So personally I wouldn't want to clog up my hard drive with vids I might never watch again. Add to that, that a VERY large number of paysite members are husbands that do not want their wife finding their porn. So Im sure MANY would rather have a fast streaming, fully scrubable high quality video solution that isn't saved to their computer, but that they have super easy access to. Let me ask you another question, do you think that with the current model, and the increasing amount of piracy going on it is a good idea to continue feeding that lurking monster? Its like having a dragon in your basement that is eating your children but you keep sending down sides of beef to it to eat. Everyone on the planets bandwidth is increasing 10 fold if not now, soon. Everyone will eventually be on fiber pushing 30 megs up and down. That means if I have a vid on my computer I can hit up my buddy who wants to see the video. Its about 700MB so normally that would of taken uploading to a host, waiting a long ass time, then giving them the link. Would require them to pay for some hosting at least. Now its coming where they will be able to hit up that same buddy via say Yahoo messenger, click file send, and that 700MB file will be there in minutes. This is not going to get better, its going to get worse. No matter of legal wrangling, or just flat out whining is going to stop it. The only way is to cut off the super easy access to the supply. Ok I've got work to do. [/rant] hehe ![]() |

As some one who develops VOD site for a living. 90% of the users stick to Streaming and the other 10% who downloads tend to concentrate on Nich (I see more Gay videos get downloaded vs straight).
5 years ago I started selling MS DRM. DRM works but not 100% of the time and surfers hate it. Also its so easy to brake DRM that their is no point putting DRM movies. Look at Amazon with its non DRM MP3 site. I still sell and support DRM system because their are few studios who will not lic their content if their is no DRM on VOD sites. |

streaming makes the most sense and gets even better as the average connection speed is getting faster too

agreed. most of ours use flash as well.
the ones who want to steal your shit can do it. screen recorders. how do you lockdown from that? answer: you don't if its on a screen and can and will be pilfered. the dumb sheep are not the ones doing this. the ones that want to do damage are also the ones who want downloads, and the ones who know how to jack your shit anyhow, whether or not you're using a fancy flash server or the new h codec. if they want it they will get it. slowing them is the only thing you can do beyond trying to prosecute people. |

Now I know that there exist a lot of VOD sites, mega sites and even some unique pay sites that only offer streaming, and surfers are okay with that since like you say, many guys just want a quick whack and no evidence left behind. But I consider that the mentality of surfers joining those sites that have a lot of varied content a little bit differently than a surfer who joins a solo girl site or a singular porn site with a theme. In my experience the overwhelming majority of those guys would be pissed they couldn't keep the videos and would express so. But if it works for you that's great. I may consider a solution like that it in the future if I have some special projects. But for now I am mostly selling downloadable clips with no DRM and I don't feel compelled to try it yet. By the way, one other issue, if you ever decide to release the same content on your sites on DVD or BlueRay, that's another way your stuff could get pirated. |

And on the "you dont think 30.00 is small enough to be a rental fee thing" If it were per video I agree, but we are talking full sites of content. I personally do not feel compelled to let a surfer download and keep my full site for 27.95. Sorry I just do not agree, and I think the model is utterly flawed to allow them to keep the content. |

The model of "All the content you can download and keep for $29.95" seemed to work in the days when there was so much money to be made it didn't matter. But the market is mature now and maybe a new model is needed.
I know some of the sites I like have no streaming option and I WISH they did. I hate downloading the videos, especially when they are broken up. It's a huge pain in the ass. But I think some people are thinking you just switch to no-downloads overnight so when all your members log on they are shocked and cancel. Obviously, you don't do it like that. First, run the streaming parallel with the download option so surfers get a taste of the instant viewing. Then have a few updates here and there with no download option and gauge the response. Then make the download page a separate page you have to click a few links to get to and make it sort of a pain to navigate. So basically you phase out the download option without actually saying so. Just like every other industry does when they phase something out. I bet eventually you could do away with the downloading all together with minimal pain. |

Many people, no offense to stinkyzingerz the republican, talk and think like a fucking webmaster. "What makes it easier for THEM", and "how THEY like to do it", and so on. I've read this countless times on this, and other, forums. No one gives a fuck how YOU like to do it. It's about how the member, or returning customer likes it. This almost always comes up in the whole pretty website design discussions. Pretty websites are for webmasters. Not surfers. Surfers want good... 1. Content. 2. Navigation. 3. Download speeds. 4. Consistent updates. 5. Support. Interaction. ![]() |

Yes Im a webmaster, but lets be frank, I wack it too. Even with Dixie Dash around the house lol. And its me as a "surfer" that prefers streaming. Why do I want to download a full 20 minute scene when to be honest Im probably only going to need 10 minutes of it. Lets take a poll here. Does anyone really watch a full scene? I doubt the majority do. So not only are you letting your content out into the wild with no control over where it ends up, you are wasting bandwidth to the tune of 50% of all videos viewed. So now you have to spend time chasing down copyright infringers which also cost you money. Then your exclusive content is dilluted by it being out there. No one wins there. So because of the extra financial expenditures due to allowing those great members to download those videos you are unable to shoot more content for the site. At least less than you would be able to do with the extra cash from wasted bandwidth and chasing pirates that is. So in the end the customer suffers too. But keep worrying about those minority of members that might get pissed, many of whom are probably some of the ones spreading around your hard work for free. ![]() StickyZingerz out!! lol |

Stickyfingerz likes to act like he's smarter than everyone else, and boast about how well he's doing, but if you look at his site stats, they pretty much suck:
Alexa stats for Sticky's exclusive sites: DaisyMarie18: 645,842 (that's the best he can do for his fiancee's site) DixieDash: 789,769 Alexa stats for his Affiliate site: Stickboxbucks: 1,008,259 Alexa stats from some of his affiliate program sites that appear to be mostly composed of old 3rd party content: AsianSchoolBabe: 581,880 OnlyAsianModels 536,879 SquirtStars: 5,752.077 Prettyfeetlovers.com has a traffic rank of: 9,152,513 Glowingasses.com has a traffic rank of: 4,378,077 Girlsshagginggirls.com has a traffic rank of: 3,400,402 Onepornkey.com has a traffic rank of: 1,606,094 Boyattitude.com has a traffic rank of: 6,049,813 Asiangayzone.com has a traffic rank of: 2,943,512 Pornmixpass.com has a traffic rank of: 1,292,365 I could go on - but, everyone should get the idea by now...Sticky talks a big act, but the facts don't back up the bluster. His sites are doing so well that he posted a thread today that he's trying to pick up video editing work on the side. ![]() All I am saying is before making big changes to your program, check out the source/people giving you free advice, and then make your own judgement call...

For example, DonnyLong.com has a counter that has been present since at least the beginning of the year, and it currently shows that he has had 9,877 visitors, which translates to no more than slightly over 1,000 visitors a month (or 30-40 per day) since it's inception. Still, his Alexa ranking is: 398,457 I would expect a decent paysite to be able to generate a higher Alexa rating than that. ADG |

Ill tell you what I do roughly 750,000 uniques a month right now. Ill go with my stats rather than alexa. I currently have 123 domains. I work on traffic to ALL Of them. You have what 7 or 8 domains and a design a 9th grader with notepad and paint could do in about 30 minutes. Put down the pipe you old hippie. If at any time you want to discuss how h.264 rtmpe streaming can help your bottom line Id be glad to talk more. How awesome are you for posting alexa stats from a program that just launched in January. Wow so surprising that Im not in the sub 100k club yet lol. Im pretty much a one man show, and am soon to be pushing a million uniques over our network of sites by the end of the year. Im not embarrassed by that at all. Why must there always be an asshat that has to try and divert from the discussion at hand? Seriously just fuck off. |

BTW, your DixieDash (Dana's site) stats are even worse than your DaisyMarie stats, as I correctly cited (and you ignored): DaisyMarie18: 645,842 DixieDash: 789,769 Quote:
Anyway, how is it that Alexa does not cite a single website of yours that I looked up in the top 500,000, if in fact you are drawing the 750,000 visitors to your sites as you claim? That is simply inexplicable. Among the reasons many people have trouble believing anything you say, is that you make ridiculous claims without providing any proof, besides your word, which has not proven to be worth much based upon previous revelations about you (your last employer called you a liar, a cheat, and a thief). You protest that you've only had over six months to generate traffic, as to why Alexa's independent site data reveals that your site traffic stats totally suck: Quote:

Not long ago, you were asking for work/donations to buy your wife a gift, and just today you were trolling GFY for side video editing work (while trying to maintain the facade that you are making money hand over fist).
