What's the story with tickling-videos.com? It looks like it a giant collection of pirated videos. Are the producers of the videos paid somehow? Or is it just piracy?

I’d asked the same question here maybe a year or so ago, and the answer I got is yes, they’re pirated. Also I was told you could get computer viruses too, and possibly credit card fraud.

All of that was enough to keep me far away from there.

I got that vibe on all three fronts... Piracy, credit cards and viruses. Thank you.

This is typical piracy. The guy buys clips and sells them without the producers' knowledge or consent. Are you asking if he pays anything to producers? I doubt it. I did not sign a contract with him regarding the sale of my clips, much less I did not receive anything from him. I'm sure no producer is paid to provide the clips. Only when you buy them on clips4sale or genuinetickling. When I have time, I will report the dick to clips4sale

Another, slightly more sinister, option is that he doesn't actually have the clips at all, he just scrapes the storefronts for their thumbnails and other data and then steals your information when you try to purchase. At least, that's the explanation I got when I found a bunch of my content listed for sale on a different website when I notified the storefront that he claimed to have gotten it from.

Several options. I wouldn't be surprised if he hacked into the drives of people who buy our clips and downloaded them from their drives to his own. Yes, I agree with you 100%. He could have stolen their data (IP) and then easily tracked down these people and hacked them. In my opinion, c4s should take a closer look at this. Buying clips from his site is very risky. He can wipe out your bank account to zero. The worst thing is that our clips have been with him for a long time and no one will do anything about it.

I remember this discussion happening a long time ago and someone said that the videos were bought from stolen credit cards and then uploaded on that site.

You're not buying clips from them at all, as far as I can tell. The site is just a catalogue page that links to hosting servers. So it looks like you buy an account with the hosting server and you'll be able to download what's on the catalogue. They may be getting a kickback from the amount of downloads or from ads on the site. Or they may not be getting anything from it at all.

And I doubt there'd be too much to worry about being hacked from the files themselves as the hosting companies are usually a reasonably legit businesses that just host files. They'd turn a blind eye as to what is being hosted until someone specifically contacts thema about it, and they would scan the files uploaded. It'd be bad business for them to allow viruses on their servers.

As for where they get the files, I'd imagine the stolen credit cards suggestion would be how it's done.

I've heard the same thing about that site, that they get all their content from stolen credit cards. I've also heard that that company is run out of Russia and that the piracy laws are different there so it's a lot harder to get a site to stop selling pirated content than it is in the US and some other countries. I don't have confirmation on all of this but that's what I've heard a couple people say.

Yeah, there are a handful of countries that C4S and other sites like it warn you about regarding copyright - they flat-out state that the countries on that list simply don't cooperate with takedown notices and the like. Russia and a bunch of its sister countries are most of them, some places in Asia (China, f'rex), lawless countries like Somalia, that sort of thing.

And no, nobody is hacking C4S customers to steal clips off of their drives. That's not how content scams like this work. It's all stolen credit cards and chargebacks.
