Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Just wondering if anyone met the Manhub guys at the Phoenix Forum and whether they had anything to say about all the heat on their tube. Any explanation about their copyright violations? Did anyone actually have a face-to-face conversation with these guys about how they conduct themselves in this community?
Well I did meet Chad from Men.com and we didn’t really talk about any of that. I sat next to him during the boutique panel and he was quite lovely.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
ManHub is not a ManWin site as far as can be proved. ManHub is owned by BangBros / HazeCash, not ManWin / Men.com
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
To my knowledge BangBros is owned by Manwin… it is all over the boards and PR articles
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
I’m sure you’re right. Interesting, because when you ask Men.com / Manwin they keep saying they don’t own it. I wonder why?
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Yep, it was in Xbiz
Manwin and Reality Kings merger
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Well, in Manwin’s defense, it does say this:
The planned acquisition involves “essential parts” of Miami-based RK Netmedia Inc., “as well as some of the subsidiaries,”
Nowhere do they mention Manhub being included in the deal as one of the ‘subsidiaries’ or ‘essential parts.’
Not saying I know the answer either, but just saying this article doesn’t really prove that Manwin owns Manhub now.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
But Reality Kings and Bangbros are two different companies, right?
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Six of one and half dozen of the other…

Reality Kings is not Bang Bros.
Manwin bought Reality Kings. That is in the public domain.
So… Manwin does not own Bang Bros.

Yes that’s what I thought as well.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
RK Netmedia launched its network of adult websites in 2000 with CumFiesta.com. Other brands followed â two dozen of them â including BangBros.com, MILFHunter.com, 8thStreetLatinas.com and RoundAndBrown.com.

In 2009, Reality Kings brought their exclusive online content, along with Bang Bros content, to satellite television with Reality Kings TV. RKTV is available on DirecTV and Dish Network, as well as through transactional video-on-demand channels.

bangbros/realityking/hazecash/program3/muffia/hugetraffic all had the same owners, payments came on the same day from the same place.

[QUOTE=DominicFord;127270]Hello from Internext! Yes, we are submitting over 10,000 links a day to google. Their batch tool, which Porn Guardian has access to, has a bug in it. We are working with them to find a workaround. You should begin to see our submissions increase as soon as the workaround is implemented. Probably 3 or 4 days.
Meanwhile, LeaseWeb is here and I’m planning on being very vocal during their session. I have lots of stats I’m eager to share with the audience.[/QUOTE]
Dominic, why are there no new takedown requests for Manhub.com on Google? Manhub is now the single largest tube site online with a massive amount of stolen content yet there are only 71 take down requests. It’s totally miss-representative of their size and scale of their piracy.
http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/removals/copyright/domains/manhub.com/
And no new requests at all since 11 March. Oddly enough the last takedown request is from BangBros who owns Manhub… so… submitting a DMCA to themselves…?
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
We checked with our clients and almost all of them have licensing agreements with Manhub. So what you think is pirated content is often times actually NOT pirated content.
In my opinion, this is a huge problem, because these licensing deals blur the line so no one knows if content is licensed or not, and once there is legit content on a tube site, it’s fair to say that consumers don’t know anymore if content is legit or pirated. I don’t like that this line is being blurred.
But the fact remains that most of the content we found was legitimate and not pirated. Crazy, I know.

Sorry, let me get this right.
You are now are saying that most of the content featured on ManHub is NOT stolen or illegal and that they own the right to use it… So has this changed since you took on BangBros aka Manhub as a client or just a little coincident?

None of TitanMens content is licensed to them!!! And last time I looked I found plenty of it!
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Don’t think Corbin and Randy license to Manhub either - who exactly is licensing to them?
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Sounds like sponsors have sold out. So how did that work: licence your content to us if you want traffic? Don’t sign licence agreements and you’ll get no traffic?
Nice to know that we work in a multi-faced business: say one thing, do another.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Looses all sorts of “credibility” for this business/industry. As someone said to me years ago, “I’d drop my pants and be a high class hooker for anyone…”
