This is from our new site www.mystepdadmademe.com - which comes out next week. It's nice the brazzers guys to the liberty of releasing this for us.

Uhhh...Jay how the hell can they already have one of your vids when the site isn't even open yet.

Bro, I have been raising hell about the fact that nobody is bothering to protect their content, but you are taking content UN-protection to a whole new level when the pirates are stealing it before you even have it up!

If it can be downloaded it can be pirated. They burned the DVD to get that one.

Ah, DVD stuff that you are licensing. Got ya.
Yep, you're screwed with that kind of stuff right out of the gate.

10. Do Not Receive A Financial Benefit Directly Attributable To Infringing Activity Within The Company's Control

If an online service provider has the right and ability to control infringing activity, it is eligible for the safe harbor if it does not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to such infringing activity. The "direct financial benefit" issue is complex and necessarily dependent on applicable facts and circumstances. Although this issue still remains to be clarified by the courts, Viacom has made arguments regarding direct financial benefit in its lawsuit against YouTube. To the extent that the Viacom v. YouTube case results in a decision, this issue would be one of the more interesting DMCA legal questions the case addresses.

--

whether a legit community site that allows user uploads or an illegal tube site, both generate revenue from the advertisement around the content.

some illegal tube sites offer a "premium" version that gives access to longer videos, better quality, etc.. this would certainly violate DMCA safe harbour provisions for a paid-membership model using stolen content (oh the irony of paysites who used usenet content inside members areas and now crying foul about DMCA)

---

takedowns have to occur in a "reasonable period of time"... 24-72 hours.

content producers could coordinate their DMCA notices to do a "DMCA bombing" at the same time.

you would have to have a shared IP attorney ready to then file a lawsuit if the DMCA process wasn't followed. Having a large amount of complaints that were disproportionate to the "legal" content on a tube site, could show that the site owners do know about infringing material.


Fight the YMCA!

We don't have a garden variety licensing deal with Evasive Angles. We have exclusive internet rights. Some of the sites come out at the same time as the DVDs, some before, some after.

I'm aware of your exclusive deal. I'm just saying that using an outsource company that is a DVD studio opens you up to anybody, anytime just buying the DVD at an adult bookstore, ripping it and uploading it. You have no protection against that.

Different than shooting your own stuff yourself and having 100% control over it was what I was saying.

I see what you are saying.

It also seems like this industry is so fucked up, if you try to scape a few extra bones by putting you stuff out on DVD, you get punished for it.

Agreed, and with sales of DVD's so low (especially in comparison to 5 to 6 years ago) you are really better off not releasing it on DVD.

In 2008 I put out CM's "Claudia-Marie Big Titty Southern Milf" and distributed it with Frank (ivd) It made me about 35 grand for my cut.

Not worth the time or effort and now with piracy having grown to mammoth proportions...I don't even bother with DVD releases anymore.

I'm almost convinced that most people still doing DVD releases are doing them for their own egos and recognition from the L.A. scene (since all the awards are given out for DVD releases).

Funny, cause DVD releases are only seen by a handful of people....UNTIL they are released on the internet and then seen by millions.

The "awards" shows are really behind the times if you think about it. They should be handing out awards for scenes shot for the internet. That's where the fan base is.

me thinks you're fishing for an award


tehe

You're damn right! Don't I deserve one??? Damn it! Look at ME everybody! Look at ME!!!
