mharris127 Senior Member 1844 Posts 8/09	Posted - Aug 18 2009 : 9:04PM I am considering using www.sugarvod.com or another advertised video on demand site to watch a few movies. In this site's case (IIRC) they charge $4.95 or up to view a movie, that does not include downloading to save to a hard drive. Are sites like this legit or are most of them using pirated copies? I want to watch a few adult films on my computer occasionally but don't want to go to jail or be fined for unknowingly using a pirate site. I'd go to a video store to rent one but the nearest adult movie rental is fifty miles away. [Link]

tricia_devereaux Evil Angel DVD Patience is a virtue, but who wants to be virtuous? 4283 Posts 4/00	Posted - Aug 19 2009 : 12:54AM I agree with the above 2 answers. It's refreshing to hear someone ask this question, and I don't even mind if your only motive is not wanting to be fined. :) If you like downloading movies, then any of those sites are good. If you prefer DVDs, then rental sites like WantedList, SugarDVD, or XRent have Netflix-type structures. [Link]

Other than their site didn't work for a couple of weeks when I first enrolled, I was very happy with them. I recall they had something like 9000 movies to choose from back in 2005. I am actually thinking about re-enrolling for a while. [Link]

ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08	Posted - Aug 19 2009 : 2:04AM Legit or no, there's something shiesty (IMO) about the prevalence of streaming-only scenes on many VOD sites, particularly when the content is not available on DVD. [Link]
just_me Member 133 Posts 4/09	Posted - Aug 19 2009 : 12:34PM Just curious do any of the VOD sites, or DVD rental sites too for that matter, have a revenue sharing plan with studios? If I stream or rent something, do the studios receive anything in return? Or do the studios just get a one time payment when a video is sold to them and the site keeps all their revenue to themselves? [Link]

Click to expand Why? A company licensing out their titles for VOD is different then them releasing them, or leasing them out, for DVD. Arrow a while back released most, if not all of their, catalog for VOD sites to lease. Yet most of that catalog is unavailable on DVD. Recently Arrow started burning DVDs to order for unreleased titles. I'm assuming that means the money isn't expected to be worth it to make a pressed run of these titles. So why if the company chooses this route is it sheisty? [Link]
ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08	Posted - Aug 19 2009 : 5:15PM I'm questioning the reasoning/logic/motives behind offering streaming-only scenes rather than allowing buyers to download those scenes. That's what's shiesty. Yeah I get it they think some scenes are so low-demand they're not worth pressing DVD's. But those same low-demand scenes are so "precious" that customers (who PAID MONEY for it) aren't allowed to save on their computer? It doesn't make sense. Shiesty greedy money grab move to force customers to pay again every time they want to see the scene. Plain and simple. You may see it as a "smart business stategy", but I see it as shiesty move to stick it to the consumer. Your Arrow example doesn't apply because they do offer customers a way to own scenes (according to how you explained it). Not shiesty. [Link]
tricia_devereaux Evil Angel DVD Patience is a virtue, but who wants to be virtuous? 4283 Posts 4/00	Posted - Aug 19 2009 : 5:31PM ninja- I can't speak for any company other than Evil Angel, but in talking to a lot of VOD people, it seems that there is concern about the technology and security of allowing customers to Download-To-Own. Part of it is a concern that the customer will save the movie and create numerous copies on DVDs so that their friends don't have to pay additional money for it. It's also slightly harder and more effort to rip a streaming scene/movie and upload it to a pirate site, than to do it from a downloaded scene. justme- The model varies. Most streaming and download-to-own is a revenue-share, with the 3rd party site (like AEBN) making the vast majority of the money from the cost. Rental models vary even more. Sometimes the rental company buys the disc outright and there is no rev-share. Sometimes the rental company pays a lesser price for the disc, and there is a rev-share per rental either until a cap is reached or sometimes there is no cap on the amount the studio can make.
