Tickle Factory

I bought more than 40 DRM clips from tickleflix.com. Now, many Windows XP re-installs later, those 'paid for' DRM video clips are as useful as a bladeless knife with no handle.

There are at least 15 screen/video capture products on the market today that can grab the current DRM video clips and save them in the video format of your choice. My product of choice is Capture Professional ( http://www.creativesoftworx.com/ ).

As a business owner myself, I truly recommend looking at the whole equation (vision, percieved value, economics, market brand perception, brand expansion) rather than simply taking a simple protective stance.

No matter how good your stuff is, people have limited disposable cash and will likely go where they percieve the most overall bang for their precious buck.

I'm taking everyones post into consideration. My own fetish for tickling was the driving force behind the creation of Tickle Factory. But to producing material of these standards is costly. From hiring models, cameramen, editors, web designers, etc. there is a lot of time and money invested. All it takes is one person to buy a clip and post it here for all to see and its 8 months of work down the drain.

Tickle Factory has an agreement with DRM that once our customers purchase a clip there are no limit's on the amount of times you can view them. Some of the other sites using DRM have put restrictions on the amount of times they allow their customers to use the license. For example 1 day, 1 week, 1 month. But with Tickle Factory your use is unlimited. For those concerned about buying a new computer or reinstalling Windows and loosing the clips, I will reissue you a new DRM license, at no cost, so you can still view the clips you had purchased. The only other issue is that DRM does not protect against Macs, so again I will be offering 2 DVD's which include all the clips. This is actually a $20 savings.


I will end this post with saying that I've been on this forum for a couple of years know, and there has been a lot of negative post towards other producers and the quality of their material. This is not easy or inexpensive so please support all of the tickling producers, because without us tickling fantasies would be left to your imagination.

Thanks!

I can certainly understand where you're coming from Tickle Factory. It's only natural to want to protect your hard work and intellectual property. Tough call about DRM.

Will your website make it <i>VERY CLEAR</i> to potential customers that your clips are DRM protected ?

If so it might be fun to take one of your clips and offer it <i>without</i> DRM protection and see if its sales outstrip the sales of your protected clips.

And you can also watch the various boards to see when/if it gets pirated.

If it gets pirated but still outsells the protected clips, that could help you make a decision about DRM down the road apiece.

After all, sales is the name of the game.

There are also other ways of looking at the pirating question. It does not necessarily mean that you are going to lose out in the end. I have on occasion downloaded full clips which quickly convinced me to buy a membership of that site, even if I had not heard of it before.

When I look at the material distributed at these forums, they actually do a great job of advertising the various sites - no other place gets you that kind of overview of the available market.

Nor is it said that once one of your clips has been openly posted, it is lost to you for future sales. There are always new people coming here who simply miss out on post of the past, or they get one clip, and then decide to buy one of your others.

I reckon your ultimate sales will depend on other things - not doing fake stuff, providing good customer service, having an easily navigable and informative site, and remaining in good contact on forums such as this. There is much more, of course, but that will do for the moment.

Does anyone know when the site is expected to re-open?

 

[TKpervert]

Well said Mart.
A pirated clip posted for freebie consumption can be good advertising as long as the clip opens with the name of the originating website. If the quality of the clip is good, it will generate traffic to the website. That's never a bad thing.

And as far as I know, DMS is no guarantee against pirating, it can be cracked.

Tough call here Tickle Factory.

If you find a need for new themes in your work, just emulate what the Japs are doing in their tik videos. Maybe even use some oriental models. Yum.
enough for now...

A new company with a free sample tickle clip for the community!

I don't know who else got the sample clip to download but I did in less then 10 minutes and let me tell you it was awesome. One of the best FREE tickling clips I have seen with a lot of very pretty young girls from all different races. This site has potential if I ever seen potential.

It's kinda nice for a tickle company to offer FREE sample clips to the tickle community, huh? I see you did not have to buy a membership to download the Tickle Factory clip. I plan to buy their products because they support us. It's nice to see that you appreciate and take advantage of the free samples from tickle companies that offer their products to the tickle community and it's members......not all companies choose to do this and I appreciate and support the ones who do.

 

[LaQ11]

Could someone who was fortunate enough to download the sample clip post it here for those of us who missed it....please...

Good idea - I'm also very curious.

At the moment the site of ticklefactory only displays an apache info page (Apache successfuyll installed). But it seems fast now ...

Tickle Factory,

I couldn't find any email address to contact you on your site.

Do you ship overseas?

Why do you not accept visa for purchasing individual clips?

 

[Tickle Factory]

Hi Zathras10, we will be accepting Visa in the next 7-10 business days. Yes, we can ship overseas but the customer would be responsible for the additional shipping charges. If you would like us to quote you an overseas shipping fee please send us your info (country, city and zip) to [email protected]

Thanks

how do you order clips

I cannot figure out how to order clips, I tried two different browsers and I cannot get it to give me an option to buy or download them. If I click on an image it downloads but doesn't render.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

 

[Tickle Factory]

Hi Bagelfather when you select a clip a window should open with a link that says "join now" click on the "join now" button and the credit card application will open. Fill it out submit it and the clip will download. After it downloads you will receive a username and password that needs to be entered to view the clip.

Please contact us with any other questions.

Thanks

download

that isn't working. It downloads the clip and THEN wants me to pay and do a password. I have tried three times and then it does not do anything. I don't think I was charged but I'm checking.

 

[Tickle Factory]

Hi Bagelfather sorry about the troubles you are having with downloading the clips. Are you on a PC with Windows Media Player 8,9 or 10? Please let me know at [email protected]

Thanks
