Porn Director’s Defense of DRM
This will be my last posting regarding DRM download license technology as it applies to porn. This is of course, barring further developments. I promised the director of the excellent One Man Banned to address our readership an unedited defense of their reasoning regarding the use of porn DRM licensing.
“What seems to piss most surfers off (and what most DRM sites do) is that the customer can only view the movies while they remain “active members”. Once there membership expires… So do the movies. Since the start of 2005, we changed our license rules from the standard 30 days to lifetime licensees. This means that surfers who join the site can view the movies they have downloaded to there hard disk forever. Yes, they have to enter the user/pass when they first play the movie but we don’t see that being an inconvenience. Any future plays are the same as any other non-DRM WMV file. We have over 35 gigs of high quality exclusive movies on site, all downloadable as one (no split files). What DRM does for us is stops surfers sharing this content, which costs us a lot of money, on P2P programs and newsgroups. Hope that explains a little more how we use DRM for porn! -Matt.”
Next week I promise more fun as we examine my absolute favorite, one fee takes all, network. Have a great week! -Pundit

As I pointed out in my earlier post, anyone foolish enough to mess with “free” porn on file sharing services like Kazaa will surely pay with their hard drive.
The illegal copies of Matt’s movies thus downloaded will then be corrupted, and his copyrights therefore preserved. So stop worrying, dude, and drop DRM!
