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.
