He made a post about all the pirates ripping off his stuff and then ended up closing the website down. Can't say I blame him. His stuff and Tickle Abuse get ripped off constantly.
Indeed he was. He even tried to sell me in on his proprietary method of preventing piracy. I was on his website a few weeks ago and I noticed that he hadn't actually released anything new in a while.Where did he write that? I thought he was the producer with the least pirate problems because he can track everyone down.

It's not the first time a producer closes shop. Unfortunately, this fetish isn't exactly a money making, well oiled machine that guarantees a comfortable retirement.
Agreed. Back in those days, it seemed like a good way to make some decent cash while putting themselves through school or whatever. Now days, they are all over pornhub with some of the dirtiest porn flicks one can find on the internet.For a long time his stuff was the least likely to be seen on free sites, however, several full version clips are on pornhub.com now. It sucks for producers. Probably the most heavily ripped off is czechticklish girls. That producer will release a clip and it will be pirated on pornhub.com within a few days. Sucks for producers because there is no way to make a good living off this fetish anymore.
There are probably previous tickle models now in their early 40s out there that are horrified when they realize a clip they made in college, 20 plus years ago, is all over the internet right now. Back when they made clips in the late 90s and beginning of the 2000s, they never probably imagined being streamed all over the internet someday. It was probably around 2003, when kazaa and bearshare (or sharebear) was able to upload pirated videos on high speed internet, that producers started losing money (not to mention amateur models that didn't ever think they would be seen doing such clips, were being outed. Just look at model/actress Joanna Krupa, also known as Regina Bartkowski in fm concepts, and the girl from the original Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire that was outed nationally).

He was one of the most overbearing, self important, ignorant assholes on this forum. He took the piss out of models, competitors, and the general paying customer because he felt entitled to success he and his business ever earned. Was a lot of his early stuff pretty damn good? Yeah. Shit like Ticklish Promoter II was legit great.
But then he started lecturing about sexuality in clips...even though he used it himself. He constructed this elaborate sense that he was suffering from piracy...when reality was his stuff wasn't really collateral in those kinds of places.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

So, you're entitled to your opinion, but don't go around insulting Stryker or his work. I firmly believe that he made the absolute best work I've ever seen come out of this community and if he chose to retire, I totally understand why and wish him nothing but the best in life.
Seeing how 10 different women react to being tickled in the same setup is more exciting to me than watching the same overused model get tickled by 10 different producers.
And I can think of several producers that had tons of different models that were/are drop dead gorgeous. Again, I think Stryker is way overrated and he had one of the worst attitudes in the business.
