As you know,I am on holiday in Spain with my not so little ones for a week. A week to spend some time to relax and laze by the pool. Having your own spanking website is like a dream come true,right? I have pots of money and drive a flashy car? Those of you who know me and have come along for a spanking session know this is not the case. Yes,of course I earn money from my website,but I have like you a home to maintain and some not so little ones to keep in food and trainers. I am not poor,far from it but I am not stinking rich either. As do all other spanking website producers,I work bloody hard.
It is not all about smacking bottoms. My work much as I love it often takes me away from my family and can be very stressful. Now,I am not expecting you to cry me a river or anything like that. What I am asking you to do is to think twice before you watch spanking material,be it mine or anybody elses,without having joined the site that has produced it. Pirates are killing our spanking sites. They join for a month,download all our material and then upload it and make money from our hard work. We then have to spend our time looking on the web for it and issuing notices for said material to be taken down.
I would estimate that I am online for at least an hour a day on my holiday looking for this and there has not been a day so far when I have not found illegal uploads of my and others great spanking films. It does not take a rocket science to realise that if this piracy is allowed to continue,then some of the spanking sites will just not be able to survive.
There is a theory that the people who watch the illegal downloads would never join a site so we are not losing anything but my fear is that as times get harder,normal honest guys and girls who do usually pay will see this as almost a ‘faceless’crime and commit it without really thinking about the consequences. Piracy is a crime and it is one that is destroying our spanking websites. Some have already fallen and I predict more will over the next twelve to eighteen months. I know of at least one spanking website which is hanging on by its fingertips. As Gloria Gaynor said ‘I will survive’and I am pretty sure many others will as well but guys,if you contribute to the pirates pockets you are responsible and not just for putting some great guys out of business.
You will be stopping spanking models from getting work. The pirates sure as hell are not going to pay them and how can we if our revenue is being ripped off? Plus you are limiting how many films and the type of films available. You are hurting us but in the long run,you will be hurting yourselves. The pirates make money everytime one of OUR films is downloaded. If you don’t watch,they won’t bother. So todays post is and SOS. SAVE OUR SPANKS!
Here here….. there are too many people out there who are do not think about the time,effort and money that goes in to producing the content,just where they can get it cheap or for free….though often as not they end up with poor sound and picture quality as a result and it serves them bloody well right! If people want to keep seeing new,good quality content then they need to put their hands in their pockets from time to time to keep the hard working people in the industry going,because,as Sarah says and speaking as somone who has worked in it quite a bit,no one is making millions out of spanking movies and there will come a point where they might as well hang up the cameras and canes if no one is going to pay them enough to make it worthwhile doing it. So,do you really want that to happen?
Thankyou Sean. The guys who actually pirate our stuff really could not care less if they prevent us from being able to continue. They are not Spankos,they are just happy to feed off of any available target. We will never be able to stop them,but if we can get even some of the guys who watch these illegal downloads to think about how they are contributing to the Spanking Film industrys downfall then perhaps we can fight piracy this way
Yeah,we had this chat earlier and it’s canny as I was planning on doing a similar post!
So will link to it instead!
If we do nothing we are all doomed in the long run.
Organised Pirates are making far more than the producers,I should know,I am wondering how the hell to afford our next films shoot at the moment.
Costs everyone should think of before the films even reach online:
2 models minimum (largest expense)
A location for the weekend (next largest cost)
Travel and other expenses
Time planning and arranging the shoot.
Time off regular work is sometimes needed (I don’t do this full time,not many of us do!)
Time and expense to render and edit the films.
Website hosting and other fees to developers (in my case for a new affiliate program coming soon)
My time (free) updating the site and writing about it on blogs etc
then we have to sit on films
It’s hard and currently I have started to dip into my own paltry salary as the site isn’t covering the above costs which have increased recently at the moment despite me lowering the costs to sign ups as far as I can to attract potential customers.
The weak US Dollar is crippling us here in the UK as well! Our site should really be $10 more a month but I am afraid to charge this even though our stuff is damned good and exclusive.
If it’s still like this for me in 6 months time I will quit.
It has never been harder for new independent sites to establish themselves and it hurts as I know our stuff (pirated at least) seems popular –FFS! Our site costs under $20 for a month,what the f*ck else do I have to do?
It’s very disconcerting

Hear,hear Chief! I do not think that there is a website owner or affliate that would disagree. I appreciate that times are hard for just about everyone but guys,would you walk into your local supermarket and steal from the shelves? Would you come and work for me,be it as a plumberor mechanic and not expect to be paid? That is exactly what you are doing to us everytime you watch one of our pirated films. Not only that,but you are putting money into the pirates pockets. Every spanking website owner I know loves spanking. Of course,we want to make money from the films we provide –why would we do it otherwise but we offer fantastic value. We contribute to the spanking society,providing entertainment and work for spanking models. The pirates are just leeches and guys,when they have bled us dry and we stop producing films,they will move on to the next target and what will you do? Would you be happy to continue to watch old movies? I think not. We are I hope,working towards stopping these bottom feeders,but until we can please help us to help you. Support you Spanking Sites. If you abuse them,you will lose them
That sounded alarmist,I’m in whinge mode at the moment,lol!
What I meant to say is it just about covers the costs but that’s it.
We don’t make any money off this at the moment but the amount of hours we put into the site and promotion is just too much,especially as my daytime job is becoming more demanding…interesting times indeed!
oh,the site?
AAAspanking.com of course
