Since apparently the last set of rules were unclear. There will be no posting of tube sites, torrents, or of any material that you do not specifically hold the rights to unless that link goes to the rights holder themselves. In other words, if you are posting a link to an Evil Angel video, the link needs to go to the Evil Angel site or to an authorized reseller like Hot Movies. This includes fan made compilations. For more information on tube sites, please see this thread regarding the policy regarding links to tube sites.

Don't post links to them. Don't describe how to find them. Don't post search terms that will bring you to them. Don't post images nor links to images that have a tube site name watermarked on them.

There has been an influx of people posting them, if you choose not to read where the above link directs you, or choose to ignore it, your post(s) will be deleted in full and locked. If you continue to it is unlikely you will remain a member of this forum for very long.

[mod edit: link removed. Many of our members earn their living by making or selling porn. They don't need you to give it away for free.]

Can I post a tube link if it is an official channel of the star?
I want to ask a question in the forum regarding this Rocco clip. Can I post this link along with the question, so the members know what I'm talking about in the question? It is not an ID question.
The link is from his official channel:

No, first we have no way to verify if it really is an official channel, secondly even if that specific clip is legit, there is plenty of stolen material on the rest of the tubesite.

OK,, well I just fucked up.
I checked the TnC, then the etiquette page. Nothing there so I posted before I noticed this thread.
Didn't post links but referenced sites and searches.
Apologies.

honestly, I like the tube sites. theres only so much money to spend. tube sites help feed my need to watch some porn. but I get it, its a method to pirate porn and damage revenue. I get it. .....but my advice, don't click on the ads on tube sites. unless you want a computer virus. the ads bullshit anyways.

honestly, I like mugging people on the streets. theres only so much money to spend. muggings help feed my need to buy cool shit. but I get it, its illegal and it hurts other people. I get it. .....but my advice, don't do it in front of a police station. unless you want to go to jail. the people are probably bullshit undercover cops anyways.

^ Please note that Kill Bill's post is likely just explaining why pirating porn is just as much stealing as mugging the local 90 year old widow. I do have to add that people watching porn for "free" on the tubes is the main reason why many porn companies have gone out of business since 2008 and others are on the cusp of bankruptcy. Even Kink.com (which is not going bankrupt at this time, thankfully) is feeling the pinch, Peter Acworth said recently that Kink's site revenue has stagnated and he is expecting the sites to only break even over the next few years. Peter is counting on live feeds of scenes, live chat with models in chat rooms online where you pay for one on one time with models, Kink University classes and auctions like the Maitresse Madeline one on one domination auction that took place a few months ago, the current auction for directing a scene for Sadistic Rope and his bar (the Armory Club in SF) to carry the company into the future. Ten years ago Kink made more money than Peter could count without any live scenes or auctions.
Please buy your porn legitimately. If you don't, porn may not continue to be made.

There are 'official tube sites.' But it would be a burden on the mods to spend time figuring out which ones are legit and which ones aren't. Some are a combination of both.
For example, LegalPorno has trailers of many of their scenes and these trailers find their way on some other websites, many put there by LegalPorno representatives. Katie Thomas does that too. They aren't the full scene and it makes sense for production companies to place their trailers on those sites and have the full scenes, if someone posts them, deleted. They can monitor the more popular tubes but for the most part, the scenes posted are substandard, sometimes 32 hex 240 which appears fuzzy on an HD computer or TV screen.
It's understandable that the mods have more important things to do.

Speaking of LegalPorno, maybe one of the reasons they are doing so well in Europe is they have invested a lot of money and effort into anti-piracy, for example every scene you buy and download is a unique copy that has inconspicuous small dots within the video that can trace the copy back to the purchaser, they also used a credit card attestation method abut they have discontinued that for now.
Until effective measures of anti-piracy software is instituted by American porn companies tube sites and torrents will continue to flourish.

^ I have a feeling that the larger reason that Legal Porno is doing well is that they are backed by tube site money. The owner of Legal Porno also owns one of the largest tube sites in the world.
They are just like MindGeek, just on the other side of the ocean.

I don't think so, the site offers over 20 quality scenes a week with many top Euro girls and does stuff its competitors only do rarely, so the site captures a large market.Their anti-piracy solution isn't perfect,their scenes still end up on tube sites even on the owners own one, but surely implementing anti-piracy software is a good start for any porn company?. Other things that must equally be affecting porn sales would be areas were women can make as much if not more money for easier work like web cams,custom videos and escorting.

Pornhub has a blog, Pornhub Insights, where they post a lot of data about porn viewer habits and preferences. Would linking to that be considered against the rules?

I'm looking for the studio making a very specific type of video that I've only found on one particular tube site. Of course, that tube site doesn't list the source. I'm interested in finding the original maker or paysite that carries their content so that I can subscribe.
How can I ask the readers of ADT for help with this without either posting a link to the tube site or describing what to search for so that they can find it on their own?
I'm willing to pay for content, but am finding it exceedingly difficult to find where to do so. Any suggestions for doing so on this forum?
I can't post screenshots from the videos in question, can I?

^ Yes you can post screenshots as long as 1) the tube site name/logo is not visible, and 2) the image doesn't violate our image policy.
If you can't find an image that doesn't violate the image policy, then you can upload a XXX-rated image to an external image hosting site like imagevenue or imgur and post the link here. (But still no tube site name/logo can be visible)
