I want to participate if it's not finished. 🙂
The clip is fantastic. It is worth it all! 😉
You talk about stores having to close down because of the piracy. Which of the stores closed down? I am really not sure what you mean, so the question is genuine. The ones that seemed most affected, like Tickle Abuse, Tickle Central, Czech Tickling, James Darke and so on, all seem to still be going strong.
Did you ever receive mine? I think I mailed it over a month ago.
Just as a few examples - Way Too Ticklish, Body & Soles, to name a few off the top of my head. To say the ones you listed as "going strong" I can't say is completely accurate because some of the feedback is that they are not realizing the same kind of profit margins or returns as they once were before these problems started. What the specifics are for them I couldn't say, but it's certainly having an effect on the industry across the board.
Sorry but are you sure it's piracy and not an increase in competition. Could it be newer studios are putting more effort into promotion and finding new talent then worrying about pirates? Since you are in mainly in the tickle market I can see how piracy makes a good excuse for lower revenue but coming from a guy in multiple markets I firmly believe its competition..... People who pirate and or watch pirated videos have never been true customers so how can you lose something you never had? Just some food for thought.
Have only just seen this request.
PM me a link to your survey and I'll gladly give you full feedback etc.
I'm not worried about a free clip, just happy to be able to be of assistance.
Kind regards.
