“Her name is Angie, and I need to find more of her.”
Answer:
There are literally thousands of blogs exactly like mine. I’m certain that some of them have received similar emails.
Currently, my little blog gets around 40,000 hits a week. At best I’ve received 200,000 in a month. That’s small by industry standards, but enough to get their attention.
I’m friends with several legit porn site webmasters and models. And many of them see Tumblr circulation as promotional, often leaking their own material to get attention for their pay sites.
None of the stuff I’ve posted is exclusive to “members only” areas of any sites. But I do understand that the porn industry has taken a huge hit lately with piracy. I would think under these conditions, they would embrace anything that gets them attention and doesn’t really cost them anything.
But oh well. I’m re-examining the process. If that means I only post amateurs and submissions, then so be it. If I have to purchase licenses to distribute content, then I’ll also have to look into advertising to financially support the blog.
In the mean time, I appreciate my followers who stick around, but I understand if my hiatus results in an exodus.
Apparently I had no idea how much attention this blog had been getting.
I’ve received a dozen “cease and desist” emails and over a hundred images have been removed for copyright violation.
This might explain my recent absence.
I am unsure of how to proceed. While all the images I post are found in the wilds of the internet without any intrusion, watermarks are left intact, and as often as possible credits are given… that apparently doesn’t clear me from potential legal action.
I don’t get nearly enough submissions to post strictly fan-based content.
I’m deleting my queue and maintaining my silence until I find a way to continue without generating emails from low-rent “entertainment” lawyers.
Sincere Thanks,
-GA
