Over the few months i have just been looking around at the internet landscape, i have found some cool things, then some total ripoffs but all in all very interesting. I happened to stumble across a site that basically had over 1000 links to various stolen shows from my sites, there are many places that have my pirated stuff but this one made see just plain pissed. I mean they had stuff i had just put up a few days ago. I was able to find this because i am beta testing a new piece of software for video that does video fingerprinting..which i have to say is pretty cool. Anyway i started a conversation with the guy that basically ripped me off. The first incredible words out of his mouth was that he was doing me a service by exposing my work to thousands of non paying people? Hence some day since they see everything for free they will join in the future? PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME! Then he says well porn should be free! Who came up with that nonsense of a mantra. Washing your car from rain water is free, laying in the sun to tan is free. If you want your car washed by someone u have to pay for it, if you lay in a tanning bed you pay for.
Most people don’t do this kind of shit but really is the world that hard up for a few minutes of fake fame, and a facebook account with 500 fake friends that you don’t even know there real names.
I am just wondering what the thrill is ripping off someones work when your to pussy to do it to their face.
SO PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME.

That sucks that people put new stuff up. If they put up old old stuff from like 2 years and maybe one or two to show what kind of stuff you have I think it’s ok. Or maybe he is just a disgruntled current member and your lack of regaular updates on all but one of your sites pissed him off. I am a current member and I am really pissed at the lack of updates on your sites lately. Guess after my subscription expires, I’m gonna go look for those sites that have your scenes up for free. Update regularly! You’re ripping people off if you don’t!!
I appreciate that you are a member, i have a question. I see a lot of people out there with 1 site yes i have a few and not all are updated each week since it is not easy to find the right girls for the niche. This is not a excuse it is just a fact, sure i could hire girls that have done hundreds of scenes but then who cares about that. But my question is if i am putting up 8 to 10 shows a month, plus already having over 700 shows on the sites. How am i ripping anyone off? I mean truly, if you join and you find there are 0 scenes after you logged in then of course i would say that you were ripped off. All i am saying is that nobody works for free in this business so i think it’s funny when people think that adult for some reason should be free.
If you have more than one site and they are not updated, what’s the point? You said in 2009 that you would update certain sites, and a new one and not update others at all. If you advertise yu will update weekly, then do it. If you are not going to do it, don’t say it on the sites. I have been a member on and off (more on then off) and you have soemtimes updated regularly but lately it’s been hit or miss. Like Hersweethand, it’s supposd to Wednesdays, not it’s usually on Thursdays. And it’s cool yu added the castings,but those for the most part are boooooring. Perfectd has not been consistent either. I mean you have all these sites and I’m pretty sure your coustomers now that some will not be udpated regularly, but if you updated hersweethand and perfectd weekly, then I would be happy and most others I think too. I really like your sites as you show alot of girls we don’t see other places or we see them first on your site. So I give you props for that. Just regualr updts on the two sites I mentioned and I’ll be happy! And I love how a hj goes to hardcore sometimes.Very hot. Keep up the good work on that!
Bro, I have been a paying subscriber since time knows when. I always pay for good porn. I think it’s a shame that some people have ripped from your site and used them for their benefit. I can not enlighten you on the matter but only wish you keep up the solid work you’ve done for the past so many years.
I would also like to know when you’d be able to produce and upload to your site the videos you had promised to show? I am specifically talking about Vanity, Vanessa, Charlie, Alena Hemkova, and some others.
Thank you and more power!
G Picasso,
The earlier poster was out of line. If he wants to bitch about frequency of updates then use the Support links. Threatening to not pay for the membership and getting the content for free on the “Adult Content Theft Ring” aka (adult forums – Rapidshare – Hotfile etc etc) is a classless dumass statement. Apparently through his feable brain he also thinks that is the content is 2 years old then it is “ok” to steal it. Imagine if your car gets to be 2 years old and someone decides it’s not new so it’s “ok” to steal it?
Unfortunately there are tens of thousands of people just like him who think it’s “ok” to steal something because everyone else does it. I help run an adult web site for one of the models you ahve worked with on HSH. For three years I have watched people act like they run there own version of the same web site only they are stealing the content and posting it on forums. In some case I personally am ripped off since I spent the money, time and effort to create the videos and photos only to see them ripped off and posted on forums. Then when I have had enough and get them taken down – the little thiefs bitch about people sneaking arouund and deleting “their stuff”.

Replying to Tyler comment, Hey you are a whining fucking bitch Tyler you pay your money here for well over 500 girls you def. get your monies worth. This guy doing sites is original in way he seduces women to do more than they intended too. So Tyler go Fuck Yourself.
Im a member and i do think that 4 updates or less a month are way below the price that im paying. Ive been on and off member of your sites for years, and I guess I now have downloaded what I could. I may going to cancel my site the end of april. But love your stuff, especially Perfect D!
I appreciate the fact that it takes a hell of a lot of work to keep this site up to date. However, just as in the music business, assholes have no qualms about stealing one’s intellectual property. Their reasoning is the same as the asshole who stole your stuff and posted it on a free site.
It’s your stuff, Mr. Picasso. You have to sue this cunt to keep others at bay.
Hi there, I’ve been a member from your sites on and off for about 5 years now, I love your sites!!!! I’ve had the chance to buy memberships from other sites as well (same genre) but you are always on the top of my list. However the only way I was able to find your site was in one of those free porn engines, I saw 2 or 3 scenes and was hook, after that I had to join your sites because after seeing porn for years I finally found exactly what I really enjoy and don’t mind paying for. I do agree that you need to update regularly and I know you do just that on Her-Sweet-Hand however it seems that you’ve forgotten about the other sites. I think if you update at least once a month the other sites people won’t complaint, and regarding people posting your stuff somewhere else, well you will just need to get creative there, and perhaps doing Limited Time Videos might help you. Anyways, I think you are the best in what you do, just keep looking for new technology. BTW when are you open the website store??
What’s the software you’re using? I have some web sites as well and would like to see where my content is being pirated.
People expect you to update without fail and its funny though, they don’t understand that you do not have a huge team like the other networks, they only care about money and bring any person countless times. I never thought porn could be boring but seeing the same models everywhere doing the same thing did the job for me, well I gotta thank them for that because I found your site because of it and found that you cherry pick your models and care about bringing great new girls for us.
Quality over quantity.
I can only guess how much time you have to spend doing that and to think you also have the members to keep happy must be really stressing. To that I can only say that keep doing the things you have always done, you will not make everyone happy but the people that really appreciate your work will continue to support you.
These free sites or “tubes” as they like to be called, will eventually put pay sites out of business. I don’t know how you stop them from pirating your material, but I do know one way to keep your current membership. You had mentioned some time ago that you had “hundreds” of videos in your archives, that have never been aired. Concentrate on getting those on your sites for our viewing pleasure, I’m sure you could get a couple a week done. This way you wouldn’t have to concentrate on recruiting new talent. I for one, enjoy your older material more than your newer stuff, anyway. I wish you luck, have always enjoyed your sites.
Hi,
Well I can honestly say that I found your site by browsing porn on this forum.
http://www.forumophilia.com/viewtopic.php?t=44639&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=rose&start=525
Without this forum, I never would of been exposed to your content, and never known about your site. I really like the type of content that you shoot. I don’t know if this will persuade me to sign up or not at this point, as I haven’t really looked at your shoots thoroughly. I look for a specific scene in porn in which is on her knees for the money shot and the guy is filming it in first person…
Anyway… I think you could possibly use these stolen contents to your advantage as free marketing….
Simply figure out how to track your content, then allow users to steal your content and make posts with it… Then you simply report all the old posts, but leave the posts that they posted within the last 3 days. If you were to do this everywhere, then people loving your content, would want much more… but they won’t be able to find it anywhere except your membersite….
Given that fact that there are literally thousands of porn sites on the net, and you appear to be a smaller operation, I think you should embrace the free exposure. Bad press is good press. You just have to figure out how to make money from this. Competition is fierce in porn. You know this..
Now of course it would be great if no one stole, and this wasn’t a problem. Yet, it is a problem that is not going away… and this is the best way I can think for you to monetize on the problem.
I don’t like stealing material from the small guys… Not that stealing from anyone is right. Somehow I justify to myself that stealing from a major corporation doesn’t hurt anyone… yet stealing from a small guy may hurt their lively hood.
Keep making great porn, and just figure how to make money from thieves. Don’t get disgruntled.

Another thing that gets people pissed is advertising material in previews that doesn’t appear on the site.
An example, this promo is currently running:
http://www.oilyhandjobs.com/2010promos/girls/bambi/bambiworldsex.html
Yet if you go to the sites, that video is not available.
You say that the reason that there are so few updates is because you are selective with your models. Yet you are holding back material such as this Bambi video – and who knows how many others – for whatever reason.
It’s things like this that make your members feel like they have been burned. And one way of repaying such treatment is by ripping you off in turn.
I don’t agree with posting stolen material from paysites, but I can understand why it happens.
But what is there to be pissed about, the scene will be released so anyway and this is to test traffic on certain kinds of links. So how can you be pissed at that, especially if you are a member and i always put up the content. How do in this day always have to find a excuse for such bad behavior. I have been in this business for 14years and i know the game. What burned me from my original post is how does someone think they are helping me or anyone by doing weekly updates of my stuff or anyone ones product. It is just funny where people feel they are justified.

I am glad that you found our sites thru the forum, my beef was with certain people that are now pulling like the new updates and posting them all over the next day. I have actually learned a lot from the forums of what kinds of scenes people like, so it is informative but lets be real when someone post 200 scenes its a little overboard.
GP
actually tubes are the ones that are on the chopping block not the normal paysites, if there are ever any 2257 inspections they would be instantly gone. But until then no one advertises with them since we know they are worthless for conversions. Even the new legit tubes are seeing the model not working as they had thought.
GP
Your right and thank you for your comments, i do not have 10 shooters. I have thought about it and i have interviewed a lot of people that wanted to shoot for me. I am not saying i am the best but they just had a porn style about them that i thought for me personally was boring. I do like a few guys work and i have wrote them about it since i am fans of theirs. Look i have nothing against girls that do porn since i am in the same biz. My only turn off is that on the bigger networks you get the same girls on pretty much all the sites, yes with a different shooter but big deal. But again that is just me personally and maybe i am wrong for being that way.
GP
At this time i can not say, since it is beta it does not work 100% yet and i am not supposed to have it, it just helps to know the programmer:)

actually a couple of companies have got together and is in the process of suing 4 large tube sites. Having gone thru a 5 year suit myself i will tell u it is cheaper to sue than be sued. So basically the deal is this, everyone is sitting back to see what happens. As in the case of Youtube and Viacom also once precedent is set the flood gates will be open. The music industry has changed the landscape and now we are working on film and video. And for all the people out there who just say well they will close up and move the business to another country, believe me i know what i speak of …I have a US corp as well as a EU S.R.O, it aint easy, it aint cheap you cant do it in one day. Plus if you have any half way decent firm representing you its at least 200k to defend yourself.
GP
what 4 updates? there are more than that.
GP
I love the sites and agree with you that these guys posting the content on site for free downloads are wrong. This is a business and you have expenses. If we all downloaded content from those free sites you would not be able to provide new content.
I do agree with part of what some mentioned about the frequency and missing content but thats no reason to post the videos on sites for free downloading.
I wont go into details about frequency and missing content here. I’ll send something to support as you mentioned. hahahaaha
I really do like the content. Not seeing girls from other sites. Please dont change that.
Been a member for a year. Overall i am happy with the content, but like everyone else I am awaiting some of those promised updates with charlie etc. My advice is to sometimes add some old bonus vault scene just to keep people happy. Dosent even have to be a super quality scene.
Yeah it sucks that people can steal your content and get away with it. Thats the way it is on the net these days, everyone is affected. And alot of quality is lost because people dont support the producers. Hopefully this will change in the future. People like me keeps coming back because you produce some great quality stuff. So keep up the good work!
