As an example of the utter failure of porno producers to police teh internets, and just how bad it's gotten, here's a simple example.
1. While checking my e-mail last night, I get a message from Naughty America asking me to rejoin and giving me the following "exclusive:" "Valued Customer, We're giving you two good reasons to renew your Naughty America membership: Brooke Banner and Jenni Lee. But that's not all. With your renewal you'll also get to enjoy Banner and Lee's other scenes, as well as access all of our sites...."
Fair enough, they want my business. I've subscribed on and off for many years now. Note the time and date of the message, 5 Sep 2008, 19
56 MST.
2. Just for shits and giggles, I plugged some keywords into Google after receiving that e-mail, and was directed to a file sharing message board, where the following was posted:
Note the time and date of this message: Friday 5 Sep 2008 19
29 MST. The obvious key here is that
the pirates had already downloaded, coded, reuploaded, made screen captures and posted a stolen version before the producer even had a chance to market to me. By the way, I checked that message this morning, over
1,200 views. Assuming all of these 1,200 degenerates paid the $24.95 to subscribe, NA just missed out on almost $30M in revenue. $30M is two months worth of building lease payments in San Diego, it's the fees for shooting 25 anal scenes. It's a week's worth of cocaine for Powder and Wankus. Even if 10% of those perverts signed up, is $3 grand something to arrogantly dismiss?
Are porno people just lazy? Stupid? Or more likely, incapable of collectively joining forces to combat this. A few months ago, Tanya Danielle complained about a big ol' file sharing message board she came across. Have we heard anything more from this whore? Of course not. Even further back, some porno producers had a conference on how to fight this. Any more from them? Nope. With sales hitting your collective shitter, I always assumed business owners would try and maximize revenues any way possible...especially by thwarting theft.
But then again, I forgot this was porno...where business scruples go right out the door.
