Thats not what the quote says
If you want to split hairs, fine..
isn't saving money by not having to pay for a clip a monetary benefit?
Thats not what the quote says
The reachable. Read through. There are a lot of people who just took free stuff for granted that think it makes more sense to help out. I think that helps. What would you have her do? Just keep making stuff for free investing her time and money and shut the fuck up about it? Jesus, you Buckeye fans!
Not being a total constant bitch to everyone might be a good start. Sorry, I'm from a polite state. "To my fans: Don't pirate my stuff, you basement dwelling mama's boys" is in no universe an effective pitch. Frankly, I can't believe there are people here ("you people" to quote Comfort Eagle) who think that roasting one's fans will stop piracy. But maybe I'm wrong, and that's why I'm not in this business.

IMO, when you put a lot of hard work into a investment/project/business on a consistent basis for several years straight; all of a sudden, you're earning maybe 90% less than you were before because of an issue like this; I can understand why she would express frustration towards the people that cause the problem, advocate piracy, defend it and won't cease their activities.
On top of that; your models/friends/clients are struggling to keep the full time day job that they depend on to pay their bills, groceries, student loans, whatever their situation may be. Their families become aware of it which isn't exactly the most flattering thing in the world to experience.
Another producer here posted a thread a couple weeks ago that one of his videos was on pornhub for free and it accumulated over 60 thousand views.
But obviously not everybody sees it that way.

This is the best response, because it doesn't signal that you're here for the pity party. Thank you for that.
Lucky for everyone, I'm just some 'guy with camera' hobbyist schmuck. And from my own activity just on the very outer brim of "the business" I can't stand the vast majority of what's supposed to be my audience, I can't imagine how poorly the people consistently losing money must feel. I would bet some of that lost money it's not good, though.
Trust me; if I was a producer that had to deal with this issue, my attitude would be a lot more aggressive about it.
It can be an effective way to protect yourself and your business.I just don't see what aggression solves, other than mild therapy. It doesn't increase numbers, or stop piracy (at least, I presume). Not posting here, anyway.
I'd imagine not. But the alternative is ranting here? I've yet to see an adequate justification for how that helps the bottom line.
"It's just how it is". You're like Ravensfan52. Low expectations. You defend yourself by saying that it's not entitlement, it's just how your generation grew up. Guess what, your generation grew up with entitlement. Immediate gratification doesn't mean you have a right to something. You have a fetish? Ok. Most of us do. It's not a reason to pirate and stop using that weak excuse. You're not a victim. You don't need phap material to get off. It just makes it more fun. And those without fetishes are pirating even more content. So again, weak excuse. All you and those like you are doing is making excuse after excuse to justify doing something to others that you freely admit you would not want done to you. Guys like you don't make arguments. You just make bullshit excuses to justify you continue doing what you've always been doing, no matter how wrong you agree that it is.
Yes this is my exact point. I don't need fap material, but since it's there, I take advantage of it. If I had to pay for it, I'd just use my imagination. I still wouldn't pay for tickle porn. It's not that important. I stopped pirating music when Spotify became prevalent, maybe tickle producers should find a way to band together and have one service that has all of the clips. Maybeeee at that point I'd pay for it, still likely not. But $5-20 for a 5-30 minute clip is ABSOLUTELY ABSURD considering the benefit that I get from it. It's marginally better than me using my imagination. Yes, I know they're taking into account the cost that it took to make the video and all that, I get how that works. I'm just saying, maybe the producers need to take a step back and look at the system they've created before it crumbles beneath them.

No...you're just saying..."I don't give a fuck." What are you? 23...24? I can not wait for life to bitch slap you with exactly what you're doing right now.
Come back in ten years and tell me you have the same bullshit argument when you are on the receiving end of another 20 something prick who doesn't give
a fuck and is just "taking advantage" of the system. Guys like you aren't gonna learn until it happens to you. Fortunately, I don't have to believe in karma
to know that it will. Guys like you, make that possible.
lol okay. Considering I'm going into teaching, this won't be an issue. So... yeah if a fellow teacher wants to steal my lesson plans, so be it.
But I could see how you'd be upset running a subpar site like the one you do now. Yelling at the pirates for what they're doing isn't going to solve anything. Begin coming after the viewers, they'll start watching the material with a VPN and you'll just piss them off and you'll have wasted money. I'm trying to tell you that if this is such a big problem, you're not looking for the right solutions. You're trying to jam a square peg into a round hole. Palad offered at least a decent idea of how to solve this, similar to what I suggested previously.

You're an idiot and short sighted. You think because you're going into a profession that is seemingly insular from piracy that you and yours won't be affected by it? I weep for the young. They'll have you for a teacher.

Mmmmm I am not sure you'd say that when you publish a book or a thesis or any kind of intellectual property and you get ripped off of 80% of your author's rights by some douche hiding behind a keyboard. Whatever your profession, everyone is concerned by illegal copying, like everyone should be concerned by the way technology changes the way we work. Teachers and academics like you and me will be impacted; in fact it has already begun.
