Porn Studios Form Their Own MPAA To Sue File Sharers
Posted by Jason Chen at 4:30 AM on August 5, 2008
It's not that the major porn studios were alright with you torrenting porn vids online, it's that they didn't yet organise themselves to form an entity to do something about it. No longer. Think of the new organisation PAK as the MPAA of the porn world, planning to target websites that host or track torrents of porn. It seems like they're first going after the "tube" sites, like porntube and youporn, but we'll see how successful they are going after torrent sites. After all, the MPAA and RIAA have been doing it for years and you're still downloading. [Daily Tech via T3]

@dandaman247: As to wiping stuff off, if I learned anything from my years as a jizz mopper, and I don't know if you know or not, but cum leaves streaks if you don't clean it right away.

@Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy: Cold? You may want to get your internal temperature checked.
The Porn industry is just flipping out right now because times are tough. I know. I run a couple of porn links websites and I went from raking in a ton of extra cash a month to barely keeping up hosting costs. And my sites suck by comparison. So people are spending less money on Porn because of the current state of the ecomony, which means the Porn industry is hurting. So they have decided to go after those sites giving it away, then after the individual similar to the MPAA. They want to make it so people have no choice but to pay for porn. Fuck that. They day I have to pay for porn is the day I start making it myself. And giving it away for FREE. Ha. Take that Porn industry!

@Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy: @apeguero: i agree with mr. chen...I'm still downloading after all these cases concerning the RIAA and MPAA...plus the intertubes are saturated with pr0n...it'll take awhile for "them" to wipe off...basically...the end won't cum for awhile imo.

@BanMeAgainBrianLam: i agree if anyone can stop torrents and suchlike its the PRon industry .. i'm worried not because they are going after PRon it's because of what innovations in discouragement they may come up with being 'leached' by the MPAA and the RIAA

I think the difference here is that the porn industry has already proven themselves web savy. This could actually be interesting and I bet the MPAA and RIAA could learn a thing or to about how not to screw their customers.

@LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: Some of them do. Mostly for their "livecam" services. Not that I would know.
I find trimming gives a better effect than waxing. Less painful as well.

You know, with my twisted mind this video of Benny getting waxed used to work just fine as he whimpered out that he felt girls would find it better then finding a huge forest "down there" UNTIL....
I found out that Benny had a giant monster Penis that would kill me! Benny, do you really need to wax to yourself to make you Penis that is already enormous look even bigger?
At anyrate, I wonder if they are going to go after Zootube365.com ...after all, it is a "tube" site. Oh a beware, don't click on that unless you want to see doggies are horsies.
Another question is that why do legit pay sites put adds on these tube sites? Like Brazzers, and Adam and Eve, etc...

@LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: Goddess of Raunchiness, I feel (feel perhaps all too much) that I have an answer to that question.
Pay sites offer longer videos. We like longer videos. Longer videos with hammy acting and we sit there waiting for the other stuff to happen and then BAM! Someone flops out this and that and we're good to go, all in a half hour video.

I'm fairly surprised that this hasn't become a place to post your favorite porn torrent/video site.
I personally think that youporn is kinda meh...empflix is where it's at.
Above that, if the gf and I see a flick that we think we'll enjoy, generally we'll buy it on dvd. The streaming sites are ok for a monitor, but not for a big tv. Beyond that, generally if you have a movie you specifically want, and aren't just cruising for whatever bewbies are available, it's tough to always find a good quality rip on a torrent site.
I say leave the porn sharing sites, but in the same right, support the good looking ladies (and I guess gents, but I wasn't looking, I swear) who fuck on film for your enjoyment.
