You may not want to hear this but it needs to be said. Pirates are destroying the spanking industry. But they are not doing it on their own. If you,the public did not download our material that they have illegally posted, they simply would not bother to do it. These guys are not ‘harmlessly sharing a few films’ They are not part of our spanking community. All they care about is making as much money as possible and with your help soon nobody will be able to continue to make spanking films anymore.
They are involved in other crimes as well as pirating films,often they join our spanking sites with stolen credit cards. Who knows what the revenue they get from our spank sites goes towards? Do you really want to contribute towards this? I know that it seems to be a crime where nobody is hurt. You tell yourself that the odd film does not matter as we spanking website producers have lots of money. But that just is not true.
Yes,we earn a living from our websites,but we also put a lot of work into them. We love our jobs and enjoy making films but they cost money to make and none of us have bottomless pockets. I do not know a spanking website producer who has a ton of money or can afford for this illegal file sharing to continue.
It is not rocket science. Spanking films cost money to make. We pay for a location. We pay for a model. We need a small crew to film and equipment to do so. We then have editing costs,marketing and server costs to pay. If our initial outlay is not met through memberships costs then we cannot afford to continue to produce spanking films. I am sure that you,the real spank fans would hate us to stop making spank films. The pirates would not care,they would just carry on making money from the old material or move onto other genres.
The internet has opened up the world to us in the spanking community. It has been a fantastic tool and has allowed us to explore our kink,but it is a double edged sword. It has also allowed a few individuals to benefit. You by aiding them are killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Monthly memberships to any of the spank sites is low and fantastic value. Join one,or buy your films and clips from clips4sale. But please,do not help these pirates to kill the wonderful choice of Spanking Websites you have available at the moment. Many have already closed and I think that many will have to if this continues. I have a very loyal membership base and for that I am thankful., I know times are hard for you,they are hard for us to. You would not go into the supermarket and steal your shopping would you? So why steal your spanking fun? Support and save your spanking sites as you really could lose some of them forever.
Hi Sarah…you know where I stand on all this,something is coming to a head soon,I can feel it!
To the uninitiated. Here is the cost of my last shoot:I just did a small shoot,2 girls,me,the cam guys,location and travel expenses and it came to £1300 plus! Anyone in the industry will tell you that is pretty cheap for the fact we had to hire a location too!
Add to that hosting and my unpaid time to promote and update the site and paying the editor and I break even from all that just about the next time we film which is hard to say when at the moment(so you can work out how little we make,to be honest) I am convinced that if there was no piracy then we could make more films and maybe hire in 3 or 4 girls at once but that is a luxury my site can just not afford at the moment unless I do a deal to film just a few clips and then that’s difficult as I have to spend time sourcing models who will have to be local to the location as they won’t travel too far for little money (understandably) and hoping they turn up just for a few hours,which is very risky!
Piracy of course is easy,steal content,upload to as many places as they can and hope we don’t spot them stealing our stuff before they get their grubby hands on their per 1000 download fees. I really am hoping one of them is based in England,as I suspect. I will personally pay them a “visit”,I promise you!
Having our website was never about making a fortune,we knew that,but to have the very existence of making films taken away from us because of excessive piracy and then threatened by the pirates because we dare to try and protect what is LEGITIMATELY ours…they make me sick…who the fuck do they think they are FFS?
Hi Ivan,
I do indeed! We are off on Saturday for a weeks shoot and I won’t scare anybody with just how much that is going to cost. If I worked out just how many hours I spend ‘working’then I suspect I would be better of doing a minimum wage job. At lease there would be a start and stop time lol. I absolutely love my job –who wouldn’t? But the running around after pirates does get me down. I am a lover not a fighter so won’t be turning up on any doorsteps anytime soon lol. I just want the great people involved in the spanking community to realise what they are doing to us. The pirates don’t care –there is always another site to benefit from,it does not even have to be spanking as long as they are making money. All I ask is that the spanking fans and enthusiasts support their sites and enable all of us to continue producing the great material that they have come to expect.
