[Guy]

MV models may now block downloading of their vids.

I had only a few minutes to test the 'secure streaming' before they changed it from being the only option to being optional and it took me less than 30 seconds to see that I could easily download the video anyway.. So for any models thinking this will improve security, it won't - it will just stop/delay people who are too lazy to search for a browser extension to download videos.

Now, ignoring that part - personally I will not buy any content that is streaming only (even though I have two internet connections at home because of work) - there's just too many situations which can lead me to want to access content when I am offline..

Completely pointless. Won't affect piracy.

There is one small advantage for those who can't download due to using shared devices and need to watch online, but they should do a file library like Niteflirt does and have them available to both stream or download and let the buyer choose.

They already have this feature (and had it for a few years) - you just have to go to the purchase history page and you can see the download and stream links for each video purchased.

As with most things MV, purchase history is pretty much unusable if your collection is sizable. No search capability, can't filter by model, etc.

Hell, I have a Dropbox folder for porn I've purchased for easy fappage. Much easier than moving stuff on my desk to turn my monitor to face the bed, I can just put my other laptop on the bed and pull it up, or watch on my phone or tablet
