If a producer closes shop, and you can't find a particular video anywhere online, what are the rules regarding file sharing and exchanging on this forum? I lost a video from tickle central and the owner closed the c4s store. I'd be more than happy to pay for the video again but that's impossible if they closed shop.

And AFAIK, this particular video hasn't ever been on pornhub or any other video sharing website. Trust me, I just spent the past 2 days checking.

Yes, it was my fault for not making at least 3 backups of the video. FML
 
My understanding is that it is still not allowed (at least on the forums here) because regardless of availability, the original creator still owns the copyright for the material.

Someone with more general knowledge can probably correct me on this, but I'm fairly certain that's how it works.
 
Yeah, iirc file sharing of any kind outside of "mainstream" (i.e. broadcast tv, streamers, stuff purposely done for mass viewing etc) is a no go.

I believe you are correct. There is an older video from The Laugher called “Becky Suffers” (at least I think that is the name as it is the only reference to it that I remember seeing) that I can’t find the whole video. I’ve looked with no success.
 
Two ways to look at this. The strict interpretation of copyright law is pretty clear. Content rights are content rights -- they don't either continue or disappear based on internet availability of the content.

But this is also a space where increasingly, to use a cliche, forgiveness is easier than permission. It would be awfully strange to get a cease and desist notice (or even something like a YouTube or Porn site copyright strike) about posting a really old video clip that production company itself is no longer bothering to sell. There's just not much incentive for them to care.

It's a little like if I saw someone stealing thrown-away beer bottles out of my recycling can on the sidewalk. Is it their property? No. Does the property owner care? Also no.
 
If the producer of the clip has requested copyright protection from us in the past, we assume that they continue to wish it until they tell us otherwise.

So that means exchanging the media here is still a violation and will not be allowed.

This will work differently for producer based on their own stated wishes and past actions.

Tickle Central requested copyright protection here in the past, and it is still in effect.

That copyright request doesn't mean that it's enforceable though.
 
It's very enforceable by us.

In that I remember who has asked for protection here and continue to act upon it.

Sorry about that. I was drunk when I made that post. I'm not justifying it. I agree and completley understand file sharing, copyrights, etc ..

I'm just a little pissed off that I lost this video. Well, a "little pissed off" is an understatement, but I'm not gonna try and create a soap opera on here.

What you’re looking for is “Becky’s Torment.”
