I don't know anyone from these two companies, so please pass this site along to them if you do. It is full of links to their pirated videofiles.

Not just Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher on there! Lot's of other companies as well. What a scumbag.
Burn him down.... ! He's also promoting content from the file sharing network Rapidshare....
I don't understand how BlogSpot allows these bloggers to continue to operate. All they are doing is linking to pirated content. This one in particular irritates me - such an original name!

I'm sure that Blogspot would respond to a DMCA notice, but the frustrating part is these guys just turn around and create a new blog somewhere else.
Maybe if a few of 'em get stung with a high dollar infringement lawsuit it would send the word that this isn't such a smart idea.
I sent an email to some guy who had literally 3/4 of one of our most popular photo sets posted in his online blog. When he responded, he (I think genuinely) said it never occurred to him that we would mind. He immediately took the stuff down, we gave him permission to use a dozen images if he linked to our site, and all was well... but a lot of these guys are just assholes who want to steal.
What's messed up is that it takes good ole Blogspot ages and a half to respond to the DMCA notices we send out on a regular basis regarding a considerable number of blogs operated on their site and existing for the sole purpose of distributing copyrighted content in violation of copyrights.
We send out, on average, 10-15 DMCA complaints to Blogspot per week. We could send way more but we choose to do it on a scheduled basis, combining as many violations as possible on the same complaint.
By the time Blogspot responds to our DMCA complaints, it has literally been weeks since we'd faxed it in. Between the submission of the DMCA complaint and Blogspot doing anything about it, there have been countless more pirated videos posted.
Further still, I make it a point to reference previous DMCA complaints about particular blogs if sending in a new one. So, for example, I will let Google know the DMCA complaint being sent is the 8th or 9th one in reference to a particular blog, and include copies of the previous DMCA complaints for that blog.
They still don't take any action against the blog operator. The just remove the pics (we can only complain about the pics because those are hosted on Google's servers. The vids are on those filesharing services and Google will do nothing about that) and let them keep doing what they're doing.
Sites like rapidshare respond much faster. But regardless, it can still take forever to try and play cat and mouse, submitting complaints at the same pace at which the pirated material is posted.

BTW I just want to point out again how little regard I feel Google/Blogspot has for copyrighted material (and that's why I think YouTube is trouble in the making for a lot of mainstream producers of creative works).
Sendspace will remove files the instant you submit a complaint to them. The process is automated.
Megaupload usually responds in very short orderl, as well. They also used to have an automated process in which the instant a complaint was sent, the referenced file would be deactivated.
Rapidshare would remove a file the instant their abuse department read the email, and would even make it a point to establish a dialogue with a regularly-complaining copyright owner so that you could easily submit complaints to them and get fast responses (at least that was my personal experience after getting passed their auto-replies).
Other hosting companies do the same.
Google/Blogspot? They'll sit on a DMCA complaint for weeks at a time. And could give a rat's ass if a particular blog operator has received upwards of dozens of complaints regarding their blog. They've made the conscious decision, I feel, that responding slowly and encouraging individuals to use their service, even if it means allowing them a great deal of freedom and flexibility to violate copyrights, is more important than ensuring people use the service lawfully and legally. They'd rather have 1,000,000 copyright-violating bloggers than 500,000 law-abiding bloggers.

And thanks Trevor, from BananaGuide, as well.

If the CF videos are registered with the copyright office, you might want to talk with Chad. He is working with another adult industry attorney and they have developed a fully automated system that spiders the site, notes the videos or stills found that belong to your site, and AUTOMATICALLY generates a DMCA *complaint* (not just a takedown notice, a civil complaint, ready to be filed in court) complete with all the infringement information, the statutory fines, and the total amount being sued for. If there are a bunch of videos or images, it can be in the high millions of dollars.
If you could show a pattern of Google/Blogspot being slow or nonresponsive to DMCA requests, as I understand it, that removes the DMCA safe harbor for ISPs, and you might be able to name Blogspot. This would most likely result in both the rapid removal of your content, a change in their policy, and probably a tidy settlement. (I believe they do this deal on a contingency basis, you'd have to check with Chad.)
This is the sort of thing that I think is a brilliant way to put enough sting in infringement that people will be less likely to continue to infringe, and people like Google will be quicker to respond.
Sounds like an interesting product, Chip. I'll have to keep an eye out to see if anyone else is offering something similar. Thanks for the info!

I was getting a bit worried .... since I snatch non- x-rated pictures from my affiliates, when I promote them from my blog.
So what do these ppl get from stealing content?
What's the pay-off?
Updates to their sites, which in many cases automatically pings the blog networks each time a blog is updated, thus resulting in more traffic to the blog, thus resulting in possible sales for that blog to it's sponsors, if any...
Not to mention the dilutive effect of exclusive content being used in unauthorized places...
He's taken a little off almost everyone's plate, hasn't he?
Welcome to our world! I just got year-end reports for 2006 and last year we sent out over 318,000 DMCA take down notices for the infringement of our content. Those numbers represent a 40% decline from the previous years.
Our anti-piracy measures are having some effect, at least on our content. But, all it really does is push people into stealing other peoples content. They simply move onto content from studios that do not actively and aggressively protect their content.
We estimate that at best we catch 10% of our infrigements, which means there were over 3,000,000+ illegal downloads of our films in 2006. Unless people in the industry pull their heads out of the sand and start doing something, the entire industry is heading for disaster!
Here's another one full of Titan, Falcon, Corbin Fisher and Randy Blue clips and films...
