Paying for websites - why fucking bother

OK, need to rant.

I am an active member here, but I believe if you like a model, you should at least pay for their content. I am probably in a minority in saying that; if you don't, then that's your prerogative, it's nothing to do with me. I download a bit, if I like it, I join their site.

Firstly I join KT-So. Downloading a couple of videos, then bam, locked out of the site. Email admin, they say I'm under investigation for sharing. I explain I haven't shared, they ignore my emails. My IP number seems unblocked now, but I still can't join via CCBill.

Now Bella Models (Bryci.com etc) - joined for all of their sites, they're hot as hell. Really good site, lots of pics, vids etc. Then I was blocked from that. I email, get a stock reply back saying that they ban if IP numbers change repeatedly, mass downloading etc, I email back and explain that my IP number may have changed a few times because my internet has been fucked lately and have to keep restarting my router.

No reply, again.

So why bother? I try and do the honest thing, I pay for content, I don't share it, then I get banned and they can't be fucked to reply to my messages. Seriously? I then try and explain and they don't give a damn. No wonder no fucker pays for their websites if their customer service is that shit and they deal with the people who DO pay like that. Makes me wonder why I ever bother.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I am a member of a website and I was downloading back catalogue stuff and suddenly I was "under investigation" for excessive downloading. I joined to get the stuff, was getting the stuff and got blocked for getting what I had paid for!

I can see why they would get huffy about sharing, but really when someone buys a membership then the content shoudl be available!

Yeah, it's ridiculous, now I can't get membership what do I do? I have to download illegally, even though I am happy to pay. How does that help their situation? It's a nonsense. And don't even get me started on the amount of times I've been ripped off by sites where the models have gone awol or don't update. Was really hoping the Bella girls would be a good replacement for Karla Spice who no longer updates but evidently the search continues.

Wow, that really does suck. Sorry to hear they jerked you around that way. It really is too bad. Sites are almost like a movie these days. You are allowed entry to watch it, but you can't take any of it with you.

I remember, years ago, when I first got online, I promised myself that I would never pay for internet porn. I think the folks on these forums that do the majority of the posting of content are somehow making money at it. I would love to share... but I am sure I would be screwed if I tried. Let the pro's post and enjoy the bounty.

Annabelle Angel's site has stopped updating apparently because of pirates, and with Ann Angel they have taken steps to stop pirates in turn pissing off members.

To me it's another example of 'why bother' because now genuine members cannot download the pictures.

So if you steal content you can download zipped galleries, if you pay for it you get nada. So why bother? You pay for something and it's worse than if you just steal the content. Way to treat the people paying the bills.

The photos are sliced into 25 tiles so you can only download the individual pieces, not a full picture. So the list of websites I want to join gets shorter and shorter.
