To David C : in middle of pacific in a small island !

To Ibou12 : Do I look like somebody who cares of 5K by month ??? Never I will do it and I prefer let people think about all what they could have seen and will never ( like with PAL ) than doing the game of all those bastards !!!

And of course Phelan is right !

And now think about piracy, once again, if you know what I mean with my post 2 days ago!

Of course those guys would probably make more money.
But it doesn't mean the uploader would be screwed.

There is nothing we can do about "piracy" but being a pain in the ass of the pirate is possible.
Dogfart is handling the problem the right way. PW is not handling the problem the right way. Result: Pirates can make more money sharing PW's work than DogFart stuff.

In fact, sharing everything for free would naturally kick the ass of the pirates. So you would certainly not "do the game of all those bastards".

It's crazy you prefer no money than 5k a month.

And i've got a little question for you. If you don't care about this business or even making money why would pirates stop screwing you ?

Trying to be righteous won't solve any of those problems, you know...
sad, but true.


Et pis c'est quoi PAL, déjà ?

Dude, if he closes and hide his videos forever, it won't be only a revenge against the pirates, it will be a revenge against the thousands (at the least) of people who loves his work but never accepted to pay for it.

And I think it's fair.

Hello,

A lot of people have a strong opinion on this topic and seems to speak with quite some knowledge on the matter. Taking into account the diversity of proposed solutions (that all make sense) I can only imagine how difficult it is to make the right choice.

Personally I think as well that if you make the content non downloadable you would make life of Pirates much more difficult. Furthermore I am not convinced that investments in high resolution or expensive trips for US models are needed (certainly not if they make the profitability of the site negative). The concept of PW + beautiful (East)European girls + interview + action still stands.

I found Giggeli's post (about the Russian site who asks 10 euro/scene) interesting. Everyone here seems to be fascinated by the mass approach but I am wondering if the pure niche approach could work as well. People do complain about the monthly fee but I would be ready to pay much more if I would have for example a personal portal where I can watch some scenes that cannot be downloaded and hence would be exclusive. I guess I would not be the only one. If people are ready to pay serious money for collector bags, watches etc. why would they not want to pay for PW's pearls?

three facts:

the american girls were unnecessary...

porn is not worth protecting because transient...

your complete content is worth €3 per month...because of all the old shit, many ugly faces, many of your "exclusive" scenes are too late, the faces are already well known in the business, i discover from time to time hookers, started as a hooker, then as a performer, then as a hooker...

thats my opinion...
