Intellectual property piracy and theft are have been issues that concerned both mainstream and adult industries ever since the 1970’s. At first pirated LPs represented a major source of frustration among people doing business in the music industry. Now, with the help of the Internet, pirates have developed new and much more time efficient ways to steal and spread content all over the world, including adult media as well. And as the battle has become entirely digital, the solutions that both copyright owners and webmasters look for are also digital.

Acording to the CEO and co-founder of EZDRM, David C. Eisenbacher, there are both bad news and good news. The bad news revolve around the increasing numbers in terms of adult content theft compared to the past few years. However, the good news is that DRM is becoming more and more complex and harder to crack.

The problem of digital piracy of adult content has gone from bad to worse explains Jeff Booth, president of EroticUniversity.com in Los Angeles. Comparing the current situation to 2003 or 2004, Booth stated: “On a scale of one to ten, maybe ten. There are massive amounts of stolen adult content available on the Internet.”

Also, with tube sites developing fast, theft has been increasing much faster as these type of websites offer a great hideout for pirates most of the times due to the lack of control over the uploaded content, Booth argued once more:”Policing for stolen content is tough enough for YouTube, and they have billions. So I don’t see how small adult tube sites can be aggressive about avoiding stolen content as long as they allow anyone to post things. If posting on adult tube sites were restricted to companies, that you could police. But once you open up a tube site to the general public and anyone can post content, forget policing. There is no way a small adult tube site can research every little clip and know where it originally came from.”

All in all it seems that there is no pirate proof solution available right now out there on the market, but the president of EroticUniversity.com has an idea on how to lower the losses:”If a bike with a cheap lock is next to a bike with a much stronger lock, which one is more likely to get stolen?” Booth asked. “The tools for cracking DRM are readily available, but the average person walking down the street probably isn’t going to know how to crack DRM.

You can’t stop people who are really determined to steal content, but if your DRM solutions are creative, you can make it annoying enough for them to decide that instead of stealing your content, they’d rather steal someone else’s.”
