So when are we going to address the gender pay gap on OF?
Why would that be a valid talking point?
I'm not sure, but it seems to be considered a valid talking point in other industries.

And also why piracy is increasing again as the movie/TV series space is becoming so fragmented.
It strikes me the best cure is to restrict copyright to force federation - if you sell to one company who retails to consumers in a geo locality then you're required to make available to any company at that price. Streaming services would be forced to compete in everything except content. Creators would still be paid. Copyright isn't a natural right, it should be continually adapted to serve the public. What are the…
On the other hand, I firmly believe that creators must be able to choose any distribution way they want (similar to "right to burn"). E.g creators may choose to sell unrestricted copyrights to the most evil companies they want, it's their ultimate right.
Consumers have a right to consume or not consume, but they may not limit creator's freedom, nor by "restricting copyright to force delegation".

Facebook reports over one million(!!!) images of child sexual abuse on their platform per year, and that's only the stuff that they identify and find. Clearly it's a platform where a huge amount of illegal materials are being exchanged, yet Visa and MasterCard happily keep Facebook as a client. >>but there is no denying that vetting that every OnlyFan sexworker is a task they can’t likely perform easily. Just make ev…
What prevents abuse after posting a valid ID? Unless you’re paying for the images on Facebook the transfer isn’t being used to pay for illegal sex. This is the difference between the two in terms of liability.
>>What prevents abuse after posting a valid ID?
Nothing, but it should shield them from liability. They can always say a valid ID that shows the user is over 18 was submitted, if there is any legal issue then it can and should be handled by the law enforcement.
>>Unless you’re paying for the images on Facebook the transfer isn’t being used to pay for illegal sex.
Payment processors dropped pornhub because there was some illegal material on the website - it not being paid was irrelevant.

> The BBC was just about to drop a long-researched exposé Source?
It's been an ongoing story ramping up since May, but this I believe is the main story with all the research they did. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58255865
Oh god, what typically terrible, tendentious journalism.
This is the kind of article that tries to dish up dozens of random allegations, intermixing them in strange ways, hoping that what sticks with the reader is a general sense of wrong-doing.
Among other things, it tries to imply that Only Fans somehow allows "big" accounts to post child porn multiple times with a warning, including by misusing the world "illegal". In reality, and pending evidence to the contrary, it is instead reasonable to assume that Only Fans will let people get away with a warning for a terms of service violation, which is entirely a different thing.

> What are the problems with this?
The fundamental trust of copyright is literally to make things worse for consumers to the benefit of producers. If you see consumers being inconvenienced in an expensive way as a problem then you haven't engaged with the problem copyright is here to solve.

Indeed, it's a valid point when the people in question are directly employed, and do the same work.
That seems like a technical loophole, like zero hour contract workers not having any rights. It doesn't mean it's OK and shouldn't be discussed.
Re: OnlyFans drops planned porn ban
#958But you see the whole point that Onlyfans Management says about dropping the plan is to "protect the creators". But this seems far from reality. This article from wired sums it up: https://www.wired.com/story/onlyfans-reverse-porn-ban-creato...

>For $$ per hour worked, why would they field low wage, menial jobs with a risk of COVID? Because after shit pay being the desk girl at Walmart Tire Center for 2yr you can easily convert that into a service writer job and then retire from your job as regional support manager for Compare with thotting around on the internet where you can make a ton of money up front but you're basically racing the clock because your b…
Reality check is that desk girl don't have as much upward mobility as you suggest. Most of low level employees in these jobs don't have the opportunity to go much up.
Practically nobody in any job has upward mobility without jumping ship. You have to job hop to move up in pretty much every industry. That's how it is these days. Selling a ton of brakes for Firestone or Jiffy Lube or whatever certainly puts your resume among the ones that get seriously considered for a service writer job.

> People really do just want a one click solution for creating adult content, and consuming adult content. Once they know it's possible, people want a one click solution for anything. The subject being taboo has nothing to do with it. This is one reason why Youtube, Spotify, Steam and Netflix did such a good job combatting piracy for music, video games, and movies, while ROM sites are still a ubiquitous problem for 2…
"ROM sites are still a ubiquitous problem for 20 year old consoles. Youtube, Spotify, Steam and Netflix made content easy to get. There's no equivalent for most ROMs, so they're still widely pirated." The only example I can think of is Nintendo Online. You can play select NES and SNES games on the Switch with a N.O. subscription. I collect ROMs, I've got damned near 4Tb worth. I collect for two reasons: 1. Archiving…
I just saw this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvLFEh7V18A ) on why vintage video games cost so much money now. It's almost an hour long piece of effectively investigative journalism by someone in the speed running (and thus vintage gaming) community.
The evidence presented does seem like a bubble, with scam/fraud properties.
