Stealing Content is Bad Because???
 

I agree with much of what's been said about educating Surfers about the issues of content theft etc...

So with the launch of my new site network, which is to be an interactive venue for surfers, models and promotions alike, I'd like to educate the 'Guys' on Content theft and try to make some small impact on the issue if I can?

Only problem is I'm coming up short on what exactly to say with out sounding demanding or 'preachy'

I feel a bit like that teacher on South Park, "Umm... Content Theft Is Bad... Um Kay..." :1orglaugh

So Any Words or Help on this would be great! :thumbsup

Also, if There are any Legitimate FREE Sites, tours or promos out there, I'd love to know who's gott'em so I can list them on my 'Hottest FREE Shit' Board

The theory behind my site and it's working as a free Hott Spot, is kinda cool & unique- I'd love for you have a look and see if you'd like to Promote Your Biz or have any Model Participants to Enter and win the FREE Banner Ads, etc... :winkwink:

I'm hopeful my idea will take off and along with that, the education of many against Porn Theft:)

Thnx

My opinion would be that you don't talk about it at all.

I don't.

My theory is this...why put ideas into the heads of your honest members? The bad ones are going to steal it anyway no matter what you say. But by dangling the idea of it in front of your good members you're tempting them to sprout devils horns. "Educating" people about how this matter isn't good. The ones who want to steal have already "educated" themselves. And the ones who honestly want to be a member of your site have no desire to steal.

WOW! That's right!!! I never thought about it that way?

Thnx Robbie

Most pornsurfers and webmasters are already old enough to know the law - the things most paysites put in their terms with some few small lines. Unfortunetaly, some lack decent education from their parents, or they are infected by greed. You can't do much about them. Instead, give the honest surfers quality, because they deserve it. They paid for it. Give loyal members, the rebilling ones, something exclusive and extra. Go "underground" and show you care. Exceed their expectations. To keep them there...

From outside member areas, or as upsell, I think it's most important to point surfers in the right directions, than pointing fingers. First of all, the "whitelist" you were talking about, is for internal use. Stop promoting the programs who sponsor the illegal sites. And I am not talking about only site X, but their hole portfolio and relations. Just because they tempt you with 100 PPS today, doesn't mean you will gain from it tomorrow... Second, those who just abandon their paysites, not care, and only rely on affiliates to push harder (or even cheat on their affiliates in desperation), are doomed to fail. Leave them or reduce the traffic - then they maybe get the message. At least if many do. Just a few delete buttons in several TPG/MPG/tube can have a major effect... Give the moral support to those who actually do something to protect and police, and support them financially by sending traffic and shared revenue.

Everyone should do their part. Every step, every hit counts, and keep/grow the traffic within a "good" network. Personally, I started cleaning out the house, and this is still an ongoing job/investigation. I am rebuilding the database to keep it organized, and in personal and discrete communication with other webmasters with same intentions. A network with some few million hits per day is not a revolution, but the more - the better. A public whitelist/blacklist is good for lookups, but I think most already know the best/worst ones - and all left is decision making.

Great Advice Dane thnx
