Now that BRCC/ECG/BA are not naming the models (which I think makes it hard on the talent who would otherwise have used their sites as a springboard into the industry), I have started this thread to ID the talent.
GHS and FA also don't use names anymore. I seriously doubt that prevents their scenes getting shared, but it might help them finding the scenes and having them removed. You probably get a lot of hits you have to skim through for pirated content when searching for a performer name. When searching for the scene title you probably get less hits and thus need to spend less time finding your pirated content.
I wonder what the performers think about this. Do they care being just a number on BRCC Twitter and website? Are they allowed to advertise their own scene as a newbie somehow?
Not mentioning names will not help them to prevent piracy, that's lame excuses to not giving names. There are many sites that follow same has pirated content everywhere. Second thing, BRCC and it's network sites are infamous for one-timer performers. Many girls doing straight Anal and doesn't appear anywhere (If privacy is matter in such case then I agreed to not disclose names, but they would've opt for others). Also many girls who started career with them are struggling to make their identity despite first scene was successful (means they are not promoting girls social handles).
I was member of one of their site few months back and I can guarantee that they already did fabulous job preventing piracy. If I change my IP by VPN then I've to authorized my PC again by mail. This system alone is good to prevent piracy in my opinion. Not mentioning names is just utter nonsense.
^^ There is NO 100% foolproof way to prevent piracy. Nowadays, creators are using multi-DRM technology like each copy looses it's quality over further distributions. And downloaded copy detect hardware (PC mac address or IP address) from where it is being leaked. That's it. After that creator can take legal action against that user.
The theory is that without a name it becomes more difficult to search for the scene. Like I said above, it doesn't work. In the case of GDP someone just started tracking episode numbers instead.
^ Yeah, I read that and it made sense why someone would think it would work, but it won't. Good example with GDP. Once again, it's the paying subscribers who are on the losing end and pirates will be largely unaffected.
I agree. Pretty much every approach on DRM and piracy prevention harms the paying customer more than the person pirating the content anyway. I pay for my porn, because I want good quality and keep the people producing it going. They are already using the xvid autograph stuff that should make the videos traceable and doesn't hurt the paying customer.
I really hope they revert back to naming the girls. I keep flinching on every BRCC video that starts with "Today we have XX years old <BEEEP>..." :)
I get the impression that the "Xvid Autograph DRM" is more of a warning to scare people, rather than a real threat to deter people. Someone on Reddit downloaded the same video twice from two different paid accounts, on two different computers and Internet networks (to avoid the same MAC/IP address) and a hex editor showed zero difference between the 2 files. Granted that was a different porn site (which I won't mention), but they claimed to be using Xvid Autograph too. It claims to insert a unique watermark into every single frame of the video, but that would take far too long to generate and the downloads start instantly from the servers.
I never really cared what they do and never spent any time looking into it. But I guess the scare is still more effective then most of the other stuff. That said I still like their content and will keep my subscription although I think the no-names decision was a bad idea.
I assume it will just take a couple of days longer till the model´s name becomes official and the video is available with this name on the well known sites.
I am still a huge fan of the site since they offer many beautiful newbies (sadly too often one-timers, but some became really popular, like April Olsen f.e.) and the interviews are true gems.
^ Yeah, I'm not going to give up on the sites either but it will be a pain in the ass to download the scenes and then cross-reference them here in hopes of getting a name.
Hello my theory reducing the models to just a number they cant even be bothered to make up a name
I posted the question in the FTV thread but this seems like an ideal one to ask about C.C anyone know if she did anything else maybe under another aka?
BA: Scarlett Alexis is also now BA #153 BA #152 went by "Leila Rae" on HMF, before they deleted even that info and now she's HMF #29 (I think she's a two-and-done).
appeared at both excogi and brcc aka Lumi Ray, thanks for the id !
EDIT forgot to add her picture when discussing one of the new model scene
#715
oh and in #715 scene interview they talked about how there was another shoot scheduled for the following day That scene title title Amber Alert(the Erx cogi one) made me think her name was Amber but Lolita warning lol oh well Lolita is apt also
