Hi guys,
I thought I would just draw your attention to this article. At urabukkake.com we’ve been fully dedicated to bringing you high quality uncensored Japanese bukkake porn. To do this takes a shitload of time and investment, investment we must recoup in order to make more movies. A friend of mine in the industry folded this week. His material was spread through torrents and tubes and his sales collapsed. It was good shit! But it won’t be made anymore, and so we all lose.
I’d just like to appeal to you all to please bear in mind that piracy is really destroying the porn business. Many big studios are drastically cutting back production and others have gone to the wall. Please support your porno producers and shun piracy. Please pay a little here and there for your porn. If this trend of porn piracy continues the industry will ultimately fail and all of us will be stuck with the same old pornos from years gone by!
Urabukkake.com will only be here making our super hot totally uncensored Japanese bukkake as long as we can remain in business. We can’t do that if we get ripped off by torrents and tubes.
I’m not naive enough to say you should boycott those sites. But please understand how the system works and help us to continue giving you your beloved awesome porn. Please support us facial fans!Thanks for your understanding,
Semen Simon

Porn mogul Jay Quinlan really hates when people on the Internet steal his intellectual property.
At a panel this week at the “XBIZ State of the Industry Conference,”
Quinlan, tattoo-covered vice president of a company that owns three
adult entertainment pay Web sites, struggled to contain his anger over
seeing videos from his pages being illegally posted on YouTube-esque
porn hubs.
“The people stealing this stuff should be brought out to the back
room and shot,” he said. “I mean, who wouldn’t want to watch free porn? I
don’t think people are that picky about their masturbation habits. So
every year that goes by now, there are new people – especially younger
people – watching adult content who think that porn is free. And it’s
not good.”
YouTube has an answer in the porn industry, and it’s called “Tube.”
Web sites like RedTube and PornHub allow users to upload and view an
unlimited selection of mostly illegal porn videos for free, and it has
devastated the porn industry.
The adult business, already struggling from free, user-generated porn
on the Internet, saw a 22 percent steep decline in DVD sales and
rentals last year, more than twice that of Hollywood, according to a
Hustler press release at the conference.
The issue hit mainstream media in December of 2007, when leading porn
producer Vivid Entertainment Group filed a lawsuit against Porno Tube,
alleging the site profited from its copyrighted material. Like with
Napster, it made little difference.
The free sites are still wildly popular today. Alexa, a web
information company that ranks the top global sites on the web by
traffic, on Thursday had ranked YouPorn at #35 and RedTube at #49, both
above CNN’s Web site, which was #50 and #72 Apple.com.
The adult entertainment business was once grudgingly acknowledged as a
pioneering industry that led the way for innovations later emulated by
Hollywood – first to adopt video, and first to embrace the Internet,
among other things. Now the adult industry is being hit hard by piracy,
and what happens could be a harbinger for Hollywood.
YouTube is littered with clips from film and television, but the
clips posted on adult Tube sites are far more detrimental to for-profit
porn producers. That’s because viewers of adult fare are more easily
satisfied by a three-minute clip than perhaps a fan of “The Dark Knight”
would be by a three-minute clip from that film.
About a year ago, it became evident that the rise of Tube sites could harm the industry in a big way. Illegal tube sites siphon content from various locations, putting it
up to create traffic. Owners of these sites can make quick money by
featuring advertising from dating websites or live-cam websites.
Lawrence G. Walters, a lawyer who deals with first amendment issues
and is a partner with the largest firm focusing on adult entertainment
clients, believes it would be effective to slap some of those
downloading illegal content with lawsuits, much like the Recording
Industry Association of America did up until recently to try and curb
illegal music downloads.
“If someone got a letter from a law firm saying ‘we know you’re
downloading free porn illegally from a website,’ I bet you’d have a lot
more people paying money for porn and stopping illegal usage because
most people don’t want to be sued publicly for something like porn,”
Walters said. “Sure, there’s sympathy for the kid who downloads a few
songs in his dorm room and gets sued by some big music company, but
there’s not the same kind of sympathy for a guy downloading porn in his
basement.”
But others like Stephen Yagielowicz, the managing editor of XBiz, say
the hype over Tubes is overblown, noting that those who visit the sites
aren’t the type of consumers who would pay for content anyway.
“The porn industry likes to have its boogeymen. Right now, that’s the
Tube sites. People start to buzz, ‘Tubes are killing us – where can I
get a good script?’” he said.
Yagielowicz believes that a majority of the Tube sites will
soon shut down because the cost of running them and paying for their
large bandwidths can be up to hundreds of thousands of dollars – money
that isn’t being recouped by a couple of ads.
“If people really want to make money off of porn on the Internet,
they need to realize that porn is a non-essential product,” he said. “So
what else can I offer you on my page? You have to monetize the
eyeballs. I think a lot of the larger Tubes will start aggregating
social networks and niche user communities, developing into pay sites by
adding membership and adding value at an upsell.”
