Content piracy: What Is It?
In the internet adult sector, content piracy is a persistent danger to independent content producers and studios. It is illegal to pirate digital content. Piracy occurs when someone makes illegal copies of digitally copyrighted media such as music, games, software, e-books, movies, photographs, and YouTube content. Adult entertainment industry piracy can be as easy as a rogue OnlyFans user taking paid content from a creator and putting it to an adult tube site that doesn’t need identity verification to submit the content or to a website known as an “OnlyFans” leak site.
Other instances include downloading feature-length adult films as torrents from a pirate website and then further disseminating that torrented content without the studio’s or the creator’s consent. The adult business has responded to and adjusted to respond to content piracy upticks on the internet by implementing verified online techniques.
Content piracy can take many different forms.
The Verified Internet: What Is It?
A verified internet is a trend where users’ identities are confirmed at the forefront when they publish material online. A verified user account on Instagram or Twitter serves as the greatest illustration. However, with a verified internet strategy, tube sites in the adult industry can support 2257 compliance for independent content producers as well as offer legal evidence when a video from a verified uploader is pirated and it happens elsewhere on the internet.
On some websites, users must confirm their identities before they may upload anything. Based on several legal complaints made against the tube site by European regulators for lacking a workable age verification system, xHamster.com takes this action. The parent business of xHamster revised all age and identity verification requirements for users who produce and upload content to the platform after doing this. Pornhub.com also takes this action in response to the moral panic and escalation of controversy that were sparked by Nicholas Kristof’s notoriously biased “Children of Pornhub” essay in The New York Times. All content posted by unverified users was deleted by Pornhub.com. Included in this is the deletion of any content that might have been copied or stolen.
Are There Any Services to Combat the Piracy of Adult Content?
However, not everything is focused on tube sites. On websites like OnlyFans and JustforFans, adult content producers have reported an increase in occurrences of content piracy. Fortunately, there are presently services in the adult entertainment industry that assist content makers and producers in identifying stolen material. YNOT and XBIZ, two of the most significant business news sources in the adult entertainment sector, have given some of these adult services recognition. For their innovations and attention to adult content producers, these services have also received honors.
