In short...No. https://www.popehat.com/2016/11/06/private-porn-shoots-brill...

TL;DR: Very long and pretty offensive post that boils down to "because the courts aren't stupid and can probably tell the difference and by the way there are some specific legal requirement that when making porn you need to cross-reference IDs and you're probably not doing it".

Pretty offensive? What is it that you find so offensive about the post?

Ummm, so shoot a video of the playing video. Or hack into the display circuitry. With that, you could stream a copy somewhere, even if both parties were present.

As always, the only way to be certain your genitals wont be on the internet is to not film them. But then again.... that's not fun.

I think you're being sarcastic, but I just can't tell. I'd guess 99% of people doing this have just as much fun without filming.

It seems like a good idea, but won't work. I can't imagine two horny teens like: M: Show me something hot baby F: Sure! But please install that app to take all the nececary security precautions before we proceed with our sexting... This will gain traction among camgirls and other people that produce private porn (I just invented that term because I don't know how one would call porn distributed on an individual basis…

I think you are understanding the app-foo of our youngest adult generation. Installing and using this app would be low resistance. I see 20 year olds jump through much bigger hoops just to score a date or play a game.

What did you expect?

I expected my colleagues to respect the things I do in private and realize I'm just human. And at the very least, if they were going to publicly respond, I'd have expected them to compliment me instead.

This sucks, I can't imagine what goes through the mind of people making fun of someone for something like this that is clearly private.

Hope you found a better job and colleagues after that.

I think it should be put more clear that it is possible to keep the "red key" (see https://rumuki.com/#how-it-works), but it is not kept by the app if it is not modified to prevent accidental leaks only.

The app does not protect from malicious partners, it just makes sure videos are still secure if one of the phones is stolen or lost. I even think there should be a feature to backup your key to your computer or your other phone.

Where's the legal contract part? If my video is leaked by the other party, I'd like to at least have a clear contract so I can issue takedown notices, sue for copyright damages, etc.

(Edit: Not a new idea, certainly, but well executed so far.)

i just read the page again and realize this is for a single view and a maximum of 7 days for sex tapes recorded while both partners are present.

in my opinion this is one way to do it but prevents me from having a kind of "library" with videos to share with my partner.

how about a shared library that is watchable until access is revoked by one party?

there's also the question about sharing videos with a person that's not present (i.e. long distance relationship).

I mean, that's obvious, right? And yet, this solution still provides a dramatic increase in security for its users. Normally, files "exist by default", and will continue to do so forever. You have to take deliberate action to delete them. But here, files are effectively "destroyed by default", and can only be accessed via: 1. Consent of both parties. 2. One of the parties going out of their way to make a deliberate c…

I guess you are right, but I think if this solution became mainstream people would do a backup as soon as they have access. This solution will give some false security and some extra security by luck and antagonist incompetence. It won't make that much of a difference.

The point is that the other person only turns into an antagonist after some point (hence the "revenge" in revenge porn). It takes a more twisted mind to do a backup just in case you end up splitting and hating your ex.

Ask for frontal camera access, detect recording devices.

Uh-oh, nobody wants their face filmed while watching porn.

And again, it is a client app, assume it would be modified by a malicious party.

Just admit the problem is not possible to solve.
