Unfortunately for spanking site producers who are having some issues during the Pandemic, the amount of piracy has been sky rocketing, making matters even worse. Lots of extra time for unethical individuals to join sites with their stolen credit cards and then post our content all over the pirate and file share sites.
I have had extra time to contact the pirate sites and send notice for them to take down scenes lifted from my membership sites. Sometimes I am successful, other times not so much. It is a real threat to our business. But by visiting many of the sites that are pirating content, I have discovered one thing that might help save some memberships.

It’s the growing level of computer viruses infecting many of these pirate sites. If you visit some of these sites, you will discover a few warning signs. The more you watch clips on these sites, the more pop ups you will discover. I use a lot of anti-virus software – and when I patrol the pirate sites to locate illegal use of my copyrighted content, I can see the amount of viruses that are appearing and that number is off the charts.

You may not the computer viruses on the pirate sites right away but they are definitley attacking your computers when you play the clips from these pirate sites, seeking personal info and infecting some of your software. Would you really trust a site that shamelessly posts content they know is stolen and posted illegally?
And who doesn’t love to steal a scene set in a church with a sexy nun?
Personally, I have stopped playing my own clips on these pirate sites even though it helps to identify them and now only use the frame grab they have posted for each stolen scene. This is the only way I can be sure to avoid computer viruses and attacks that attempt identity theft.
Consider this blog post a public service announcement to be careful (now more than ever) what content you choose to view on the internet “free” sites that feature only “shared” or stolen footage from other legitimate membership sites.
