You're slightly off.

Truly on this FATMAN = COMPLETE ASSHOLE

I'm sorry I posted it. Certainly the mods can delete anything they feel leads people to the files, but knowing the file download sites doesn't get you anything.

I'm going to remove any reference I made. But, if the mods deem it appropriate to remove, they'll have to catch any place it was quoted.

I apologize to Jeff and everyone at JM Productions for even the possibility that my posts led to your copyrights being infringed upon. Certainly my posts on this site should not be a platform for undermining your business.

My offer to Zen to forward information on any links I see to PM site properties is sincere. Let me know if you wish to avail yourself of this offer.


To All Who Care to Read On:

Truly I did not realize it was such an issue. I didn't even think there would be any negative response. I'm not at all kidding. I was honestly excited to relate what I worked hard to find.

How could I think this?

Before I got here very few lincs were killed for copyright violation. Very few. Most expire. Many of the others are taken down by other posters competing for points or just in their own petty "cage"-like wars.

A great deal are caught by the file sites themselves by capturing the referral page of known porn post sites. Several "ban" porn ... though it is likely a great deal of their business. IMO the practice "hiding" of the post info has more to do with tricking the file storers than anything with copyright.

In my experience, the only ones who consistantly bumped posts that I have seen are GGW and the Cameron Diaz s/m clip. My own posts on these never lasted more than a day.

Since no one is bothering to complain about it - let alone stop it - I regarded such downloads as like those of Napster or MP3.com.

Here at XPT? Nothing about it. I've read every entry since some time in November. You guys can gripe about every little thing in the industry. On this, dead silence. [On retrospect, perhaps with damn good reason.]

No one seems to care about using copyrighted pictures. Recently when I brought up a pic that was posted from Fox Mag, Charlie effectively said, "scan away".

We link to sites where people clip out the "key" parts of scenes and post compilations of copyright works.

Though I never thought it was something to be congratulated for, I took it as accepted practice. No more serious than web board slander. Obviously I was profoundly wrong.

And, to those who have buried me for this, if you never used Napster [which I never did], paid for your copy of MicroSoft Office [which I have], registered and paid for all the shareware like WinZip promptly when the 30 day free trial expired, cast another stone. From you I deserve it.

Porn producers should band together - unlikely - to form a kind of MPAA to protect copyright. Get smart devious fucks like me to report the link and offending sites. If the sites are US based, hit the site with demands on the IPs of those posting. You get a big poster, hit with "cease & desist", etc. Just saying ...
