Check this blog for your stolen videos

http://texasporn.blogspot.com/

Hi guys. I just ran across this blog that is linking to full uncut videos that are being hosted at DailyMotion.com. I haven't had much luck searching DailyMotion just yet but I'm working on it. You are supposed to be able to double click the video and be taken to the DailyMotion page just like in YouTube, but I keep getting 404 Not Found Errors.

We wrote to the owner of the blog and got our video pulled, but then they posted this passive aggressive notice making him look like the victim of the big bad porn company who is withholding from him and his readers the right to look at free porn.

Anyway, just thought you would all like to know in case you see some of your videos here and would like to write to our little Texasporn blogger friend to have them removed.

he did make you sound like the bad guys:

This afternoon I received an e-Mail from the Production Manager at RandyBlue.com. His e-Mail was very polite but he “requested” that I remove his videos from the site. He also sent an e-Mail to DailyMotion.com providing them with a list of the various videos from RandyBlue.com. As you will see, they have removed them from their site, because the content was “reported to be in violation of the Terms of Use” so they are no longer available.

I apologize to each of you for any inconvenience this may have created for you. I will continue to try to provide you with the best free gay porn on the net. If you have a suggestion about this situation, please let me know.

so you're the bad guy while he's an honest content thief??? what a jerkoff!

Thank you basschick. I was wondering if I was just being overly sensitive about it but it really does try to make us look like the bad guys. Grrr.... :confused:

There's at least one Corbin Fisher video there and several Bel Ami that I saw.

Looks like they had a *bunch*of Randy Blue vids, I can see why it was a problem.

Sean Cody
Blake Mason
Men At Play
Next Door Buddies
Muscle Hunks

... all have videos posted here and many more

what is it with these types of operations? - unbelievable (as it always is)

at least the brands are clearly visible ! HELLO!

really makes you wonder why we (studios) bother to produce hundreds of thousands of dollars (millions) in content - !

This concerns me as well.

Being a smaller studio it was heartbreaking to see two of my sites fully uploaded to a torrent (which is now closed, but resurected under a new name a week later)

DRM doesn't work. Nothing works. Is there something I'm missing or are things just fucked for us?

I know that my videos end up on peer to peer networks, as well as user groups. But for a site (blog or not) to put up copyrighted content is beyond me. They knew it was copyrighted because they show the copyright watermark and they name the site it came from. So for them to say "sorry" is BS.
What i really don't understand is how they make money, if at all. The bandwidth must cost a ton with all of the videos. I have several affiliates who post blogs with short clips of my videos and then send me signups. They make money and everything is kosher. But these guys didn't have any affiliate links. Weird.
I didn't find any of my videos on there, but if i had i wouldn't have bothered writing them. You need to write to their bandwidth supplier and let them know that their customer is violating copyright laws and that, now that they supplier has been notified, they must take action. I've had more than one site shut down doing this. They'll show up again, but it's a major hassle to find another provider with sufficient bandwidth.
And, of course, there's always the threat of lawsuits. If several studios got together and had a single lawyer send a letter to the blogger, he may think twice about continuing to provide stolen porn.

If you get the chance, write blogspot / blogger as JakeCruise mentioned. With the blog he made making you look bad, you can see that no way is he going to deal with anyone in a professional way.

Plus he is giving us Texans a bad name

To contact Blogspot go here: http://help.blogger.com/?page=contact

WARNING: If you submit anything under "copyright infringement" you'll just get an autoresponder with the below information so I suggest submitting under another category under "report a TOS violation" perhaps "impersonation" (impersonating the copyright holder) or "illegal / other"?

Hi there,

Thank you for your note. It is our policy to respond to notices of alleged
infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the
text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website:
http://lcWeb.loc.gov/copyright/ ) and other applicable intellectual
property laws, which may include removing or disabling access to material
claimed to be the subject of infringing activity.

To file a notice of infringement with us, you must provide a written
communication (by fax or regular mail, not by email) that sets forth the
items specified below. Please note that pursuant to that Act, you may be
liable to the alleged infringer for damages (including costs and
attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that you own an item when
you in fact do not. Indeed, in a recent case (please see
http://www.onlinepolicy.org/action/l...opg_v_diebold/ for more
information), a company that sent an infringement notification seeking
removal of online materials that were protected by the fair use doctrine
was ordered to pay such costs and attorneys fees. The company agreed to
pay over $100,000. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material
available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first
contact an attorney.

To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following
format (including section numbers):

1. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has
been infringed upon. This must include identification of specific posts,
as opposed to entire sites. Posts must be referenced by either the dates
in which they appear or the permalink of the post. For example,
http://example.blogspot.com/archives...e.html#2104575.


2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing upon the copyrighted
work listed in item #1 above.

YOU MUST IDENTIFY EACH POST BY PERMALINK OR DATE THAT ALLEGEDLY CONTAINS
INFRINGING MATERIAL. The permalink for a post is usually found by clicking
on the timestamp of the post.

3. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit Blogger to contact
you (email address is preferred).

4. Include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use
of the copyrighted materials described above on the allegedly infringing
web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the
law."

5. Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury,
that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the
copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

6. Sign the paper.

7. Send the written communication to the following address:

Google, Inc.
Attn: Blogger Legal Support, DMCA complaints
1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy
Mountain View, CA 94043

OR Fax to:

(650) 618-2680, Attn: Blogger Legal Support, DMCA complaints


Sincerely,
The Blogger Team

Squirt beat me to it. I just sent in something and received the email above. Wordpress is a lot easier to complain to LOL

As far as the bandwidth goes, the videos appear to be hosted on DailyMotion.com. The blogger doesn't make money off his blog, he just gets a head trip for posting free (ie stolen) porn and having people comment on his blog thanking him profusely for making them happy. While a lot of people blog as a means of commerce, there are still tons of people who blog for fun. However, it's one thing to post a funny YouTube video or a news story (giving credit to the source, of course) but this business of posting someone else's hard work is crazy. And the blogger acts like he's so put out by this and he's so sorry to his readers that the big bad porn company came and took away their free porn.

Hmmm, interesting.

How do you suppose someone who works outside of the industry knows that they've been talked about on industry specific message boards?

And I like how we are accused of being unprofessional because we asked him to remove our videos, which he didn't have the right to post in the first place. You can't win with these people. He calls us "shady Double Dealing Asswipes" and states that I'm spreading lies on message boards. What lie? He's showing our full movies on his site without permission. Do these people think that the movies just appear out of nowhere? Do they think we discovered them in a magic porn cave and are hording them for our own use? No, people in this industry spend thousands of dollars to make these movies so why does this guy and others like him think he has the right to make them public?

I think the thing that really gets me mad is that he can post his nasty comments and name calling on his blog and not let any of us have a chance to respond.

Also, answer me this, what good is signing up someone as an affiliate who's going to download your full movies and play them on his site for free anyway? Is anyone who goes there really going to click on your banner and join your site?

LOL! Don't take it personal! Of course they are mad you made them stop STEALING your content. Our Legal department sent Google/Blogspot a C&D about this blog yesterday.

If others do the same thing then the site is legally a "repeat infringer" and the whole site will get taken down. We have been able to have 15 or 20 entire blogs taken offline.

Don't "ask" them nicely to take it down, it doesn't work in the long run. Your stuff will come down for a while and then go right back up. You have to do a legally binding C&D that is complaint with the DMCA.

People posting entire scenes or entire films are STEALING from you. You are losing a lot more from them then you will ever gain from the occasional person that might actually buy your VOD. These are not people you can trust or want to do business with...they are giving your content to tens of thousands of people for free!

Don't feel bad about taking them to task and shutting down their sites if need be.

Oh, I don't feel bad about it at all. I just get angry when someone puts themselves in a position where they can spout whatever garbage they want about whomever they want and then make it so that party can't respond. But then again they wouldn't do that if they didn't know that they were really in the wrong. It reminds me of the bratty little kid that yells names at people and then runs behind their mother for protection, acting like the victim.

Well apparently his audience isn't as big as he may think. No one's left him any comments on that latest post.

We sent off notices to Google and DailyMotion.com already.

I'm a bit discouraged to see All American Heroes soliciting an obvious content thief/copyright violator to be an affiliate. Unfortunate.

By the way, if anyone ever spots a site or blog such as this texasporn one stealing content and violating copyrights and there are CorbinFisher.com referral codes on it, please do let me know.

I'll cancel their affiliate account immediately. Have no interest in such a site promoting ours and making money off of other peoples' hard work.

I heard that you can write a formal complaint to Google regarding a "Blogspot.com" account and if the blog is violating their terms of service ie. by infringing on copyrights they will remove the blog immediately. Google now owns Blogspot.com. Squirt is correct in recommending a "TOS" violation over a "copyright" violation. It should get a much faster result.

God this pisses me off. Post a comment to the Don's link. I'm sure he won't allow them to be shown but he will get the message LOUD & CLEAR that we won't stand for this.

What I don't understand is why doesn't this guy sign up as an affiliate, take down all the stolen content and put up affiliate content and make money?

Copyright law is black and white, if you didn't create it, or don't have a written contract of ownership, you can't post it, unless it's promotional content and you're an affiliate.

But did you submit your work to the copyright office? Or are you just another schmo who thinks the DMCA and automatic copyright through creation is good all by itself?

You would have less trouble getting your work removed with registered works.

You can also make good money from their theft.

I left him a comment - the odds are against me that he will publish it

Hey Copyright Violator,

why not head over to http://forums.gaywidewebmasters.com/...ad.php?t=22932 and check out for yourself what those Professionals & Asswipes are about?

Guess cuz you have your head up your tight virgin ass otherwise you would stop breaking copyright laws in whatever country you hide your butt ugly face which hit every branch when you fell down the Ugly-Tree and sign up for the Sponsors like BlueLoot.com and make some decent money?!

Since this is only a suggestion which a braindead, drugadict, 100% handicaped rat know how to follow I can imagine you should be able to do this as well.

And yes... I have PMS!

Counterproductive

LOL! Well, thank you for standing up for us, Develish. Truth is I don't want that guy to sign up as an affiliate. The last thing I want is to see a blog filled with other people's stolen content and a big Randy Blue banner on it. I just want him to go away.

Of course now he's going to think I posted that comment. His next blog entry should be interesting. LOL!

YOU GO GET EM!

DonMike- You should see the things that people have called me on their blogs! I think it is hilarious and wear it as a badge of honor. My Favorite is one blogger called me a "Crusty cunt", so my nickname for 3 days around the office was "Crusty Cunt Squarepants"!

Most of these people at pathetic losers who have nothing better to do all day but steal content. They get social prestige and a sense of self worth by supplying free stolen porn to other people. They thrive on all the comemnts saying "Wow, you are the best! Thanks for the great video". Like stealing a video is such an accomplishment! L-O-S-E-R!

At the very least it is shoplifting on a massive scale, at the worst it could kill our entire business. How we all handle it will decide.....

You hit the nail on the head. I think that is a huge part of what drives them to do what they do. They get this sense of status from what they're doing, thinking that they have this following and all these fans and feed off of thinking they have a bunch of people hanging on their updates.

The way they play victim when busted for copyright infringement is testament to that and clearly shows it.

A lot of times I'll hear webmasters ask "Why the hell do they do it?!" because a particular blog will have no affiliate links or any revenue generating mechanism in place - it just distributes stolen content without making any money or anything. And so it doesn't make sense to some.

There is no financial return, perhaps, but it's that perceived status and how it boosts their egos that's at the root of it all. That's why they do it.

That guy apparently lives in Brownwood, TX - a tiny town in rural West Texas that is geared much more towards competitive high school football as opposed to blog subjects such as this.

Robert E Howard lived there and wrote his prolific amount of pulp science fiction/fantasy books (Conan the Barbarian, et al) before committing suicide at the age of 30.

I'll bet all you shady Double Dealing Asswipes are really raining on his parade. (giggle)

Steve

PS: I just called Pickles a shady double dealing asswipe. He responded by taking an Allegra.

So there is a chance he is younger than 30? :D

Oh, Pickles does not need to buy Allegra - he can (if possible) use generica - I quit with Sanofi-Aventis about 1.5 yrs ago :D

DEVELISH

In the front yard of our apartment house stands a large, thick-trunked live oak tree. Due to the time of year, plus the fact that we have received significant rains in the previous two weeks, this week the live oak tree spends all of its time furiously making love to the entire neighborhood.

Everything under it's long reaching canopy, like the cars in the parking lot, gets loads of green dust plus pounds and pounds of other droppings. This oak pollen also causes havoc on the sinuses, particularly making you cough like a 77 year old life long cigarette smoker.

Those are the trials and tribulations of living in Austin - one half the year its oak pollen, and the other half it's cedar pollen from the cedar trees in the Texas Hill Country that ring Austin.

Allegra usually works pretty good for me. We do not enjoy a generic of the drug in the United States at this point in time, so its always to those wild n' crazy French mega-corporate pharmacists with wallets open to buy their pills.

Steve

We have a giant oak tree in our backyard that just kills me. And the office offers no respite because there's on there too!

Oaks are overrated.

I've had a bunch of blog post our stuff and be quite nice about taking stuff down when I sent them a note.

I usually offer them sponsor content as a sacrificial lamb.

They never take it but it makes us seem "nicer" I guess.

the good bloggers (and smart bloggers) are the ones who'll take a bit.. join the program, promote, not steal, not give away full scenes and send traffic to the sponsor to make them some money.

There ARE a few of those.. just not many.

Welcome to the South!

The guy is on blogspot and runs adsense on the blog lol. Blogspot does not allow adult. Period. Report his blog for that and it will get pulled. He should know better and go for a place like thumblogger if he wants to run a porn blog. Sooner or later, they'll take this one offline anyway (they screen by themselves or something, apparently). Also, report him to Google Adsense for running ads on an adult site. They'll ban him forever.

If I find any of my stuff (texts) stolen, I report to the host. Be it a free hosting service, or paid, none of them wants to have any issues with copyright.

Actually, they do. The TOS forbids spam blogs though.

https://beta.blogger.com/content.g

"Commercial Pornography. We do not permit the hosting of sites that exist for the primary purpose of garnering commercial traffic through pornography. Such sites tend to take up a disproportionate amount of resources. In order to maintain a free and open service for the majority of our users, we choose to forbid commercial pornography on Blog*Spot."

My company isn't a studio nor do we sell memberships, we sell the DVDs retail. I have fopund several bloggs where I could download a major studios complete new release. These blogs are hosted on goggle and yahoo. I have reported these blogs to the studios but they do nothing. I have even seen some smaller studios work and emailed them regarding this and they do nothing. The only web site I reported that got shut down was a guy who was copying complete DVDs and selling them at $5 per disc. Until the studios pay someone to search the net and report information found to a bulldog attorney nothing will be done.

I have also seen people selling copies, yes copies, of a studios work on auction sites. Why pay say $50 for a new release when you can pay $10. The auction sites will only pull the ads if the studio complains.

So producers and studios be prepared to shell out some hard earned cash to protect your investment.

Since my employees are online almost 24 hours a day, I will hire them out when we find thieves, that is to report the issue to the studios. We will no longer do it for free!

Hi guys,

Remember this thread. He's at it again. More yummy stolen content at http://www.texasheat.us.

The site actually links to http://texasporn.blogspot.com/ and there's a lot more from other companies as well. Why won't blogspot remove people like this? There's got to be something we, as an industry, can do.
