do you really believe EGG EDU, creative Live , breed and all the others are fine with sharing their stuff for purchase they get nothing from ... im pretty sure they hired lawyers and informed the FBI ... i would do that for sure i made a living from selling tutorials ...
Tadaaa all my Lindsay Adler contribute is leaking too !! It’s so difficult make a list of like in the free-shared post and ban the leechers?
Not really, but as registration is opened to everyone, they keep coming back. Sooner or later, I think the registration will have to be closed, the only way to join should be on the basis of invite codes. If somebody leeches, he and the person who invited him in should be banned. The option to issue invites should have only trusted members with XXX shares.
I am a firm believer in a closed group.....we have Group Buys between us on rolling basis....we buy and share between us....if anyone is invited they need to have something worthwhile to share......newbies are restricted to 10 downloads a month....we weed out the leakers and ban for life.
A closed group would be harder to leak from but not impossible. Also a closed group would be harder to get into by the other good members out there. And not having new members(or considerably fewer) means not having new likes so it will kill the whole system. This is an open forum and it will stay like this at least in the near future. The leaking of the content is a common problem to all websites and businesses and a difficult one to solve. But I have an idea and hopefully I can put in practice after I solve the payment problem.
Looks like https://vk.com/fotografsoligors is still leaking and leaking ...jasmin star tut, my capture one styles etc are there now ...and basically all good stuff shared here is mirrorred there ...that s a shame ...
This is the most honest post on this entire thread. I find it concerning that some folks choose to pave over facts as it is useless to belabor facts that have already been proven. Just as it is useless to wander off a cliff while texting about russians meddling in elections.
JFC. The issue is people profiting off the stuff. That's it. I'd much prefer someone on VK to just post a link to the forum and tell people to stop paying for the shit the other people have freely acquired.
Ok. So how do we feel about a member trading content they've acquired here.. but also posting content here?
Well, I think GOLD content should stay here. For the rest, if poster doesn't explicitly state that her/his stuff should not be traded, I can live with a trading that benefits us too.
Just minutes after posting here, my content is leaked to some russian sites and also gfxpeers - both normal and gold content. This is unfortunate, and I am sad to say that I will empty my download account for the time being.
There was one notorious leaker here who came under many AKA's and then grabbed most of the stuff from here and leaked into another gfx forum. He was then booted from there as well as here because of his idiocy and many dupe accounts but I'm sure he's lurking here in some way. Most admins and mods are on to him via his posting patterns. It's so easy to spot him lol
How anyone is leaking any stuff just for likes, and how anyone gets most of the Gold stuff, Or I'm too late to understand. Btw, How you know the Leaker which you're talking about got booted from the place which you said?
