Hi all, noob is here with a problem, which you might share. My favorite stars do scenes for lots of companies, but I don't want to give my credit card info on a bunch of sites for fear of hackers. So what I do is rent from one source and only buy (from the same source) the DVD I really liked. I don't mind waiting for the DVD.. My question is: do "web based" studios (like brazzers) eventually release all their scenes on DVD? My favorite star is Madison Ivy and she just signed for them, so I was wondering if I should subscribe to them (and risk putting my card on yet another site) or if I wait enough will all her scenes be released in DVD format?

Consider this advice I've given before about disposable credit cards.

No. Never.
Count the numbers: Brazzers puts out 3 scenes a day, 5 days a week, and one scene on Saturday. Makes 16 scenes per week (plus/minus).
But they release ca. 1 DVD per Week (= 6 scenes). That means they would need to double their DVD output before that's even possible that they could release every scene.
And I am convinced it's not really different for other sites (Naughty America, PornPros, BangBros etc.)
Exceptions exist: so far, Reality Kings has not yet left out a scene from its series "Moms Bang Teens" while releasing it on DVD; the DVDs volume 1-4 include the scenes 1-40 of the website. Of course, when a sub-site is still fresh, there is not that much material yet, so you have to release all of it if you want to put out DVDs fast, but still for quite a while without using up all scenes too early.
Only you can answer that.
But I am a Brazzers member because they don't give credit card as the only option for payment. For me, especially as a European, it was an important reason why I could not choose some other websites, because they didn't give me the payment options I preferred or I had access to.
Maybe there are also other options than credit card for you?

I've been using my credit for online purchases for the last 7 plus years and I have never had one issue of hacking and I've used about every CC processor on the planet.
If you have a serious fear of getting your card hacked then just ask your CC company to issue you a separate card with a maximum credit limit of 100$. This way you can easily join 3 or more sites and if you pay your bills every month then you can repeat the process for as long as you want. If, and frankly I highly doubt this would happen, you do get your card hacked then the most they can get is 100$ or whatever amount is left after you have used part of it.
Most porn companies require a credit for people to join in part because you have to be 18 to get one and this is extra security in case parents try to sue them after 15 years old Timmy joins their site.

Thanks for the advise guys! I will try the advice Pringles gave and the $100 credit limit. I got paranoid because I once had a card hacked (not porn related though). Though it wasn't a huge pain (called the bank, they reversed the fraudulent charges and that was it), it was still a bummer.

Your money might be safe with short-term low plafond ccs, but your personal data won't, that info is visible on your profile in most pornsites.
I've spotted a couple of my logins posted publicly and those pornsites didn't even detect it/notify me, you're better off being vigilant and searching on your own, ideally changing passwords often and requesting your account be deleted when your sub runs out.
Clipsites like clips4sale where you don't create an account, just get a temporary download link don't have this problem (but overcharge you).

^ I thought so. That's why I'll try with a disposable cc, and then if that fails for whatever reason I'll consider the other alternative risk/benefit wise.
