Yep, I am sure. My point was that if your motivation is NOT monetary, then I don't think it's inappropriate to question whether or not someone who does what you do, for the number of hours you've admitted to doing it, has some form of mental or social disorder. Not saying you do, but I don't think it's an absurd question.
Your response never really touched on the subject or a mental or social disorder, but perhaps it was just a quickly thought out point that was not fully conveyed in the post (this is not a slight against you...we all do this from time to time).
Yes I do realize this. The point in my posting those numbers, which by the way are already a lowballed number because of how many download links you have in each post(sometimes 2, sometimes 10, often never 1) is to show that you are not just a member of 1 close-knit forum community of cappers. You spam your content across many different forums(5 if we're using using your numbers) in what seems to me like an attempt to just hit as many eyeballs as you can.
My point is that I have not made 12,500 different posts, so you are merely exaggerating something if you say there are 12,500 posts with at least 2 videos per post. So you basically lead people to believe there are a minimum of 25,000+ different videos, which is false. I have no more than 2,500 on any board I have posted on (with 2 exceptions, where many of those posts were 1 video per post), and not all boards where I posted on were actively posted on the whole time. Presently I post to 3 places. Regardless though if I wanted to get to as many eyes as possible I'd post to 10x as many boards, but I don't. Considering I am the one who has posted the stuff and know my threads better than anyone else I think my outweighs yours on this matter.
And while I do not have an exact running total, I'd estimated in the nearly years of posting that I have posted maybe 15,000-16,000 unique videos give or take. I consider this to be a high estimate given the fact that I don't post daily, and and dividing 15,500 by 730 (2 full years) is an average of 21 videos a day. There were also periods where I re-used videos when I didn't have new content, etc.
Again, if you are as ethical and willing to help as you seem to portray yourself, I have to question what would happen if every individual model you capped came to you and nicely asked you to stop posting their content. Because like I said, I sincerely doubt that your presence and content would simply disappear from the internet.
Case by case basis. I can tell you with certainty that no, I would not agree to stop posting every model that simply sent me a message requesting I do so. Some I would decline due to their white knight(s) whom I have had dealings with whether the model knows it or not. Others I would decline as the only reason they would have contacted me is seeing a response to this question. So it would be case by case and deciding whether there is any sincerity to the request.
Honest response and I feel it doesn't give bias one way or the other. I have done this before on a case by case basis and only once have I rescinded an agreement I had with a model, but that was after she failed to live up to her end.
My last point on this subject, since it seems questioning you on your motives isn't very welcome at the moment in this thread, will be this. Putting aside all the copyright infringement issues etc., what you are doing has the potential to hurt people. How slim that potential is can be debated, but the fact remains that what you do can significantly negatively impact lives. Not every model wants to make this job a career in the public eye. For some it is a means to an end, and while the fact that it is in the public eye via MFC is acknowledged and accepted, there is an active attempt to mitigate that fact through things like region blocking and not publicizing what they do, even when it could earn them more income. If even just on of these people was exposed and had significant consequences in their personal/family lives as a direct result of someone finding content you posted that would have been unavailable for them to see otherwise, how would you feel about yourself?
As Amber (and other models) pointed out there is really no correlation or definitive proof to say a model has any more chance to get caught from a video elsewhere then on MFC itself even with geo/region-blocking. Region blocking or members who are banned from a models room can easily and freely use any number of free proxy servers to access the site. I use a proxy add-on to visit this board for example. Several models block my region, but that is easily resolved by using a VM with a proxy to bypass.
Now I realize not everyone would know how to use a proxy, nor am I refuting your claim, but you have to see it from both sides. You cannot say that your side of the argument is the only one. I am not saying my side is the only one, but I am saying we don't know who is more right than wrong. I can see the argument that more people are likely to see the show given it is now offered as if someone set their DVR to record it like they would a television show.
You say that geo-blocking basically makes models immune while on MFC to people in their real lives from finding them, which is bullocks. So your statement is taking such an extreme approach to exaggerate the point you are attempting to make.
And as I have not been given any proof from a model that I was directly responsible for a family member or friend finding their secret camgirl life online I cannot give you a response to how I would feel.
See the problem is I am able to see both sides of the argument. I have acknowledged model complaints and I have acknowledged the capper complaints on video posting and the pros and cons. I have not refuted anything from either side of the argument. I have however given my opinion or a differing viewpoint if I don't completely agree with how someone is conveying it. Whereas most people think there is only one side (usually the side that benefits the model and indemnifies the capper), which is not overly surprising.
Compared to a couple other individuals I have had direct discussion (or lack thereof) with I will say that while your take is very one-sided I respect the fact that your responses are more discussion then merely trash talking me, which I admire.
