Attention - Please Read - Our Videos Are Being Stolen

yep most of them are josh's work...

Yep and oopnorth too. I think some will have second thoughts on sharing if this continues.

As already mentioned, the only real way around this is to watermark the vid, adding an intro is pointless as it's trivial to cut that out, removing a watermark throughout the vid requires much more work. Not sure what software is used for that, not something I've had to do.
That said, strictly speaking, these vids are copyrighted to the channels, so annoying as it is, I would hesitate to call it 'theft', its an unfortunate fact of internet life.

.... I do not wish to work my arse off all night uploading content only for some thief to come in and steal content from me to post on various porn sites throughout the internet

I know it's annoying when you put all that effort in SB but complaining about people ripping off your efforts on the internet is pissing into the wind.

Once it's up somewhere it's liable to be nicked, cropped, changed and claimed as the work of others.

Honest, straight up members of this forum like us who have never been tempted to download copyrighted material, view clearly signed/copyrighted tube videos unfortunately are in the minority these days.

The first video in that bunch of caps of Evelyn looks like one of mine when she had a couple of full Nipslips on her knees one led down the other she was leaning on something!

To get rid of a watermark you would have to completley recut-edit the video to remove it so a good option is to do a very faint watermark over the complete video or place it in a position where if you had to cut video to remove watermark then the video would be useless viewing as you place the watermark on the edit before conversion and it is embedded into the video so no removal software will get rid.

So, from people complaining about the channels on screen graphics (classic forum gripe), to the suggestion of people adding their own OSG's to their recorded videos?!?!?
At the end of the day, anyone who posts a vid on here (and I've posted one or two myself over the years) is merely uploading a video of someone else's copyrighted material. I don't really get what the fuss is about. Yes, it takes time and effort to make/process/upload the vid, it's appreciated and everything, but you've chosen to do that. Nature of the internet, innit

Totally agree with Sooky!

as do i. but it doesnt stop the fact these guys are claiming it as there own, or locking others work away so they can use it for trades.
watermarking would limit trade as they cant claim it as there own work, so will have less value, so they would hopefully stop taking it.

also.
giving credit to the original uploader is just good manners. but then again when did trolls ever have them...

I'm with Sooky too, once it's posted online it's not worth worrying about who claims it for themselves. The only issue I had was someone had the balls to repost a video bam embedded link on the very SAME thread on this forum without any credit, the cheek lol.

To be honest, if you're just straight copying a stream & uploading them as is, it's exactly the same copy as anyone else doing it, and is so easy to do anyway it's not worth getting hot up about it. Can understand the annoyance though if you've spent time re-editing, re-encoding from a rip etc, as you've put your personal touch on it.
