FACT: if you can view it, you can capture it.

you can make it harder for the masses to grab it. but no matter how difficult you make it, there's some jack ass out there who will grab it and convert it right back to an open format and post it on torrents, newsgroups, fileshare sites, boards, etc.

i believe for the future, smart money finds where the balance is. you want it easily viewed by the paying customer. but you also want it watermarked and find that line between easily viewed by a noob, but enough of a challenge to capture to deter the casual thief.

the determined thief is going to steal your stuff no matter what. likewise there's a very large segment of people out there who absolutely will not pay for content, you'll never force 'em to do so. dont cost yourself paying customers trying to do so.

our current glucose overload of choice there is a toasted coconut cheese cake thingie....

andrew and chef craig also have pretty tasty desserts. erika has gathered quite the fan base there too including a cute lesbian photographer. i've also never seen andrew in "yes ma'am" mode, i nearly cracked up when our little erika passed up peach pound cake and ice cream and ordered him to fetch her a slice of triple chocolate mousse cake...

Well, one thing is certain. Anyone who continues to hang out there has IMO lost their right to bitch about piracy, and how bad business has been for them.

good for you, it'll be telling to see how many people vote with their feet.

i expect to be disappointed but not surprised.

Shes developed quite a nose for food.

I remember the first night she was in Charlotte and said that the nicest place shed ever been taken to was the Cheesecake Factory. So I took her to Maggianos next door.

I guess when your a big pimpin internet stud full of gfy street cred thats ok. You can always go couch surfing for 99 cents to get that tasty Taco Bell meal of the day.

I hear it develops washboard abs... but the side effect is it makes you want to suck a lot of cock.

There appears to be any number voting with their feet, including some major posters. It is clear that it is driving a line down the middle, where people are taking sides. The one that surprises me the most is Shap, who in the last couple of years has gone from protective content producer to man with a copyright on "porn tube" or whatever who is willing to sue and support his fellow tube owners. So Gonzo, you can add twistys cash shap cash and all to your list of active supporters of illegal tubes.

Someone in a better position than I needs to get AVN and Xbiz to run "Playboy supports content theft" pieces, get the word out there. Perhaps even the mainstream media might pick up on it (bad for playboy stock?)

Other webmaster boards?
What's that? Where?
Never heard of such a thing.

Gonzo you look very sexy in that hat!!!

I have read that board a few times but even though people say it's good for traffic, I just don't like it there, never posted there. Seems like too much drama, sexism, and generally annoying-ness for me, if I want to put up with that I'll log back into my cam sites and make some money while I'm at it. You know I shun the boards anyway ;)

SOme people are out of touch with reality. Just like thinking the soltuion to content theft is to stream it in a flash player taht posts the users IP address.

At least Cheesecake factory is tasty.

Gonzo - thanks for the earlier email...appreciate your support (and the opinions of others here on Oprano).

Seems there are quite a few longtime posters abandoning ship at this point.

Good to see so many displaying some integrity and ethics.

Its good to see some people vote with actions and not so much trying to win a popularity contest. Please hit me up on ICQ at your earliest chance.

  • GFY skinned itself with a tube trafficker....i.e. we steal your content then sell you back the traffic we generate with it.
  • Many see that as GFY smacking the whole industry in the face
  • Much debate here on whether those addicted to GFY will leave
  • EJ wants a donut
  • Does turn out to be a divisive issue on GFY, many getting banned intentionally and leaving (for now)
  • Erika is dressing and eating much better these days

OMG realitycash check - I had to put my playboy .cum down to read about a thread on GFY who never gave a rats ass who helped them get were they are today - o'well

Sometimes its a long way up - the slide down can really suck!

Re: Congradulations to the Winners
 
In one of those "perfect storm" things, Navisite is in the process of absorbing the data center from Jupiter tonight, so the zoo and the playboy properties are all unreachable for a while. So not only are most of the remaining people with even passible morals leaving the building, but now they are looking at some downtime too.

Kick'em when their up, kick'em when their down. :)

Subject: RealityCash Downtime Tonight


Dear Webmasters:

We are horribly sorry about the late notice on this.

The servers that RealityCash resides on are being moved to another datacenter. We originally were told this would have minimal downtime, but we are now finding out it may be longer.

They are going to be taking them down at 8pm PST tonight and bringing them back up as quickly thereafter as they can.

We value your business and wanted to get this out to you in case you want to make changes on your side.

In an effort to make it up to you we are going to do an expanded promo for you all next week. We will announce the new expanded promo on Monday. The current promo will still run throughout the weekend as well.

Let us know if you have any questions.

RealityCash Team
wmsupport@adult.com
You would think with the amount of money they have and the staff they have and the staff that Jupiter has that they could pull off a server move.

But noooooo. They are still down right now (at least gfy is) and that is somewhere in the 14hour mark if it actually got started in the 8pst time frame last night.

I don't know, I am old so I was off the computer before that last night.

Gotta love it.
