C'mon... really? Do I really need to explain why this is simply an unreasonable and impossible expectation? Are you really the bronzed beauty that is your avatar?

We site owners take it on good faith that you're going to use our sites in accordance to the TERMS and CONDITIONS just as people who join sites take it on good faith that they're going to get their monies worth. Most people do follow the rules.

Folks -

I'm just not seeing the need for ruffled feathers here. Seanchai WANTS people to repost his stuff (within reason), to talk about his (and others) models, to discuss the quality content and nature of the business. "Within reason" being the operative words.

He understands that this is an insular, but growing, market. He knows that a few pics here and there is good for business. But he also knows that most people won't pay for something if they don't have to. It has to be a balancing act - come down to hard and you alienate your fans, allow unrestricted posting of content and you are ultimately running some sort of porn charity. If you read the first post, what is being asked is quite understandable and reasonable.

Of course it is an unreasonable expectation - as unreasonable as expecting free sets on a Pay-site not to go wandering off into the WWW whole or in part to become available to eager porn-hunters. I think all I'm saying is that the responsibility for monitoring and preventing such abuse is two-sided, and that an appeal for principled rehandling of material is a bit like farting upwind.

Oh, my Avatar ? Well I couldn't find one of myself good-looking enough not to attract guffaws, so when I saw a one that was the near mirro-image of my daughter, I thought I'd use that ! A male friend of mine commented that I had a bit of a brass cheek to join a Transexual Forum, so I got someone to add the bronze ! Glad you like it. I think my daughter's lovely.

The two are NOT equitable for the simple reason that one is proactive and the other is very active. We, as site owners, proactively state and ask people that when they join our sites, download all the content you want during the length of your subscription for PERSONAL use but DO NOT repost, exhibit, or transmit it anywhere else. It is a statement / request that is agreed to upon joining the site, regardless if you read the full terms and conditions or not (mortgage foreclosure anyone?).

The other is an ACTIVE premeditated CHOICE to post pictures that you know you don't have full permission to post in a public setting.

You cannot logically compare the two.

Our expectations as site owners are extremely reasonable. Exhibit some self control and don't post what doesn't belong to you, intellectually or artistically. Or, repost it within reason once you do have permission (i.e. - an affiliate). If you can't do that... then don't join the site.

Ok, for all of those crying how people here don't cause a problem:
http://forum.transladyboy.com/showth...153#post111153

This poster, posted 30 images from a set we put up on our new site ShemalePornstar.com on Friday. We haven't promoted in anywhere other than the 5 images on the preview page, there are not images of the set been given out yet this poster, took 15 fantastic images and posted them, followed by another post of 15 images including some of the best shots.

If you don't think that's got the potential to hurt our business, then your wrong.

If you are happy to see a business you love and content you feel very strongly for, be decimated and spread around for free, to see the potential of your livlihood and the many employees worldwide go down the drain and to have the threat of not producing the content that the models and producers want to do, because some ill-mannered, inconsidate, internet heroes wish to repost it - then bully for you. I'm not. If it upsets a few people, it's nothing new. It's certainly not farting upwind, which is why we're one of the few companies surviving when many have failed.
