What goes into making a video?

For me personally it would be an essential argument, when the IT-technic had a solution against this increasing problem. Though it might be very unpopular: when customers would accept (...and I know, that this is a critical point...), that they could only see the videos for a limited time (3, 6, 12 months), but could not download them, I could rather accept, that it might be a hobby for me to offer videos. Maybe there are other upcoming new technics, that you can download videos but not distribute it over the web. Actually I belief, that there will be new solutions in future.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the technology you want will never exist. Anyone could point a camera to the screen and record the video in sufficient quality for this kind of fetish material.

Besides, on open platforms such as PCs and Macs, a determined person can even bypass any kind of protection to enable perfect copies. The reason is that no matter what you do, your customers must be able to receive and play back the content on their own computer. This means that any kind of protection can be bypassed by reverse engineering the software used for viewing your video. This is one of the reasons why game developers prefer consoles such as PS3 and Xbox 360 to the PC. (The consoles are locked down in hardware so that only software approved by Sony and Microsoft can run on them.)

Technology can never prevent your material from being distributed illegally, but there are digital watermarking technologies that can make it easier to track down those responsible for distributing your stuff illegally.

I agree with dp. Basically, you can fight technology only to a point. As I said before, pretty sure illegal distribution was not the problem. I bet you would be successful on your next try with a little better advertising, cost cutting, and better luck on your market timing (avoiding recessions )

I am able to relate to your points and thanks for these encouraging words. I feel like I have arrived at this forum. In Germany it?s 2:00 o?clock in the night and I should better sleep, but one thing I still can say, I belief, I unfortunately don?t like advertising... .

Thank you for the information, dp. I should have supposed, that it would not be so easy. So I have no solution, though I generally don?t mind sharing my videos with serious people. And finally I feel a little bit like Leobor in that post before and I better don?t speak about my damage.

Just to make myself clear - I posted those here in VIP sections and I was glad I did it. But I did that for this forum, no one else. And now, every guy who has 3 dollars can take that same video... It just has no sense! They could at least give me some percentage of this 3 dollars custumers (as script and girls was my pick).

I wanted to do one more, but now I am a little bit frustrated. Why should I anyway?

It seems like custom videos are what keeps this company in business, much more than the $3 clips4sale clips do.

The sense of it is that if nobody was buying customs, there would be no content. I'm sure most of the custom money goes towards paying models, which they probably couldn't do just on their own. If they didn't turn around and sell "your" video clips, where are they gonna get content from? I'm sure they made zero profit off of you, and are breaking even with the money they make from selling the clips.

When I think about your problem:
for $ 3.00 everybody can decide to order that video. He must take, what he gets. But noone else than YOU has decided, what exactly is on the video and if they have done well you probably have the greatest pleasure of it. I began to shoot my own videos, because I did not find enough of what I exactly liked. Later I got the idea of an own website. When I am frustrated, that I lost a lot of money and time, I tell myself that I at least have done exactly what I wanted to do. And I ask you, what is this worth? ...and what is it worth counting dollars? So you are probably rather straight than beeing an idiot.
