Should Corbin Fisher sue Torrent users ?

As an affiliate, i really think commercial porn sites have to protect their movies, because people have to pay for the content. Producers face a lot of expenses to make their movies, and if people get movies for free, it will lead producers to bankrupt. As affiliation is concerned, I prefer of course to send to the paysite a visitor that will pay for the scene he wants, rather than dowloading it illegally.
But the way Corbin Fisher is dealing with piracy is wrong. As the story tells, they get IPs of the torrents users, and then sue the owner of the internet account. The danger is outing of young gays in the closet. Is it right for a gay porn company to out young gays ? Of course not.
Other ways to struggle against piracy exist. It’s easy to protect movies from being dowloaded. When i had a paysite, my hosting company provided me with an expensive movie protection system. None of my movie has never been found on a torrent site. Of course, it’s impossible to protect DVDs from being divx encoded and sent to torrent sites. But protecting VOD movies from being downloaded is a first step. Of course it costs money, while suing brings money.
So what’s next ? As far as I’m concerned, I decided to stop promoting Corbin Fisher.
MyGayCash launches LostintheHood
MyGayCash just launched a new site LostintheHood.com. It is a reality site featuring black and interracial action. The promo content is really good. MyGayCash is a great sponsor but sometimes the promo content is quite low-quality, with blurred and underexposed pictures. Lostinthehood promo pictures are large and clear, and promo videos are really good too. It’s very hard to find a good sponsor that targets the black/ruffneck/latino niche. Most of the time, sponsors are very unprofessionall thinking that placing a few gif banners is enough to promote a site. And the sites themselves would make a customer run away, with awfull design and chaotic navigation. Now you have a good option to target that niche, thanks to MyGayCash.
MyGayCash Statement :
« Produced by « Edward James Productions », www.lostinthehood.com provides entertainment banned for distribution in the UK and Canada. The site offers a new genre of « reality content. » In Fact, LostInTheHood is focusing exclusively on the insanely popular fantasy of sexual humiliation and domination role play in interracial sex. In each scenario, we see the « Captor » choose a bystander who appears to be « lost in the hood. » They then coerce the « bystander » into engaging in sex that borders on BDSM.
Simon Soulieres, Marketing Director at MyGayCash, commented: “This is a very exciting time for both organizations. It really is a perfect fit for us since we want to diversify our list of products. With the new keen interest for reality sites in the gay market, we think that this site will get a lot of attention from the gay surfers”.
“I wanted to shot this type of content for years and I finally found the right people to do it with. This is unique, unedited reality at its best. With MyGayCash, Porn star such has Thugzilla and the rest of the Thugs on my team, we have done some crazy content and will continue to raise bar, episode after episode” said Edward James, CEO of Edward James Productions.
2011 is already very busy at MyGayCash.com. All our flagship sites are being redesigned to offer more member features and options. Affiliates will also benefit from the upcoming changes as MyGayCash is in the process of releasing a new Affiliate back-end to help us managing our growth and offer more to webmasters. Also, new sites and partnership will be announced soon.
LostInTheHood.com will be updated weekly and all the promo content is already available for affiliates in MyGayCash. »

How to make a collage ?
Collages are about 10 pics merged into one single JPG. Some are very simple, others have nice design, logos, borders, shadows, etc… Collages are usefull because they show the visitor alll the pictures at once. They don’t need to click on a thumbnail to see the large picture, and then click again to go to the sponsor. You link the collage to the sponsor directly, which is more efficient.
When I decided to add collages to some of my blogs, i checked which sponsors have ready-to-use collages. There are very few. Buddyprofits sends very nice ones along with their newsletters. Bonobocash has nice ones in the promo area. That’s it. Flamingo Buck gives a colage too but the width is too small : 291px. I asked them to make a 600px one, with no avail.
So most of the time, you’ll have to do it yourself !
It was quite difficult to me to find a software to make one. Here are the two softwares i found to help you to make your porn collages. The first one is dedicated to webmasters who like to make nice collages, with many effects. I’m not one of them :) I really think visitors don’t care about the design of a collage. I think they want porn, not drop shadows, nice logos or flashy colors. And as I try to make my posts as quick as possible. I prefer a simple collage made in 10 secs, that a beautifull one made in 5 minutes. Time is money.
Photoshop Elements
If you want to spend time and money to make a beautifull collage, you can use Photoshop Elements. It’s supposed to be a software dedicated to anybody, with no particular skills. I think it’s a very complicated one, and i wasted a long time finding how to make custom collages. As may adobe sofwares, it requires 10 Nasa computers to run smoothly. I never used a software that needed so many ressources. Very low to launch, ans using it is a pain in the ass.
So in order to create a collage, make a new empty file, and then go to the right menu : Edition / Content / Frames. Choose a frame model, then drag and drop it to your document. Click right to change options. You can now add pictures to that frame. I couldn’t find a way to block the frames. When I block the frame layer, I’m unable to add pictures anymore. So my frames move all the time. Because it’s quite difficult to know if you select the picture in the frame, or the frame itself.
If you decide to use this bad software, probably usefull if you can afford a « How to use Photoshop Elements » course at the university, you’ll have to pay 100 bucks. I really think you can do a better a quicker job with any photo edition software. Even photoshop is simplier to use.
Irfanview
Now the best part. If you just want a sofware that just merges pictures together, I have a winner. Its name is Irfanview. (http://www.irfanview.com/)
It’s a simple, FREE, ugly software. But it is very ressourcefull.
Once you installed it, you can create your porn collage with just one click. Go to image / Create panorama image. Now you can select vertical or horizontal, select a border and a border color, and drag and drop your files in the box. Press Create Image.
I suggest you install the RIOT free plugin to activate the « save for web » option. Go then to options to select « Ask to resize on open images larger than « 1″ Mega, so that the plugin always proposes you to resize your pictures before saving.
If you want to make a smaller file, you can gather two pictures in an horizontal collage and include it later in a vertical collage.
This great software is not just a photo collage one. It offers great features as Batch Conversion/Rename tool, very usefull to batch process pictures provides by sponsors.
If you know other softwares to make porn collages, please let me know !
Good luck with you future porn collages, and good sales !
February best sponsors
It’s very surprising, but i’m quite enthusiastic about Suite703 sales. My ratio this month is 1/215, which is great. SO go for it, you want be disappointed.
My second best program this month seems to be Bel Ami. The signup ratio is not amazing, but the rebill rate is great. This is truly a great sponsor just missing a webmaster referral program.
My third best program is BuddyProfits. You can’t be wrong when you send visitors to their sites.
