My thinking is the following...
If you split videos in more splice, you don't get more unique content...
Let me explain: If I split a video in 3 times, I have 3 times are new video.... (and need not 2 times upload a real new one). So, in reality this is just a trick to upload less unique content.
So, instead of always blame the pirates (which is really nonsense as I had prove many times) give the people what they are pay for...
Pierre's idea behind the format of "to be continued" in his videos are to throw the pirates off by varying the versions of a video. Your proposal will negate this purpose, because then instead of keeping track of which version of video (i.e. 1/4 or 1/5 or 75% etc), one just hunts for the discreet part 1, part 2 and so on. If Pierre does that, he might as well just upload the whole video.
The problem with Pierre's idea is that I am quite sure that the pirate are also subscribing members or credit purchasers. The reason is that every time there is an update here, it is on the "original seed" torrent sites within 2 or 3 hours, every single time. It is in fact a team effort, like A is member of WCX, B is member of C-Am, C is member of Brazzers and so on. they then share on torrent. the more the torrent community picks up on the magnet link, the faster the content distributes among the pirate community. That is why pirates don't mind to use torrents to share content among each other. I have not even begin to put ssite-rip hackers into the equation as that is another community all together.
So, Pierre's tactic does not work, not really, not if the person waiting for the content is patient. It just serves to sap up his energy and time. The more effort he puts into anti-piracy measures, the more determined the pirates will be, and the more unhappy members he will create. It is my belief that if he diverts his effort 100% into keeping his subscriber base happy, his paying audience will grow. Pirates are here to stay, no 2 ways about it.
A caveat to this scenario is; he has many devoted fans/customers, who will stick with him and pay no matter what. I am one of them. Sure I complain, but I will support his work. Thing is this though, this group exists despite piracy. So piracy is still not a component for consideration. And this group will only grow larger, if Pierre focus on putting up great stuff, and not worry about the pirates.
Anyway, this topic has been discussed to death many a time in the past years, nothing will come out of it. I just wanted to put in my 2 cents. thanks for reading.
