Staying legit

I doubt that anyone reading this could honestly say that they don’t have some images or videos stored on disc somewhere that they didn’t actually pay for and weren’t being offered as freebies by the original owner as a “taster” for what their site offers. However, we also all know that if everyone keeps on pirating and sharing freely around their favourite spanking pictures and films, so the producers aren’t getting paid and they’re going to give up. Which is a shame because the quality from companies such as Xerotics, RealSpankings, RGE-Lupus, Firm Hand and so on is superb. I don’t want to be left with just poor quality amateur materials. So the answer is to pay for it?

The trouble is I don’t want my credit card company to have a record of me spending money with such companies although I can just about stand having an intermediate third party such as Paypal involved. However, I don’t want to risk having material seized by over-zealous customs and while it’s often not convenient to have mail delivered to my home address, I don’t want to risk adult material being sent to my work address just in case someone else gets hold of it. Any I don’t much want to give the companies my real name either. So the solution is to go into a shop and pay cash for it?

Notwithstanding the restrictions on what can be sold, even in licensed premises, there has been some sign that things are becoming a bit more relaxed in the UK lately. However, when I was last in London, while there were plenty of CP related DVDs on sale, they tended to fall into one of two categories. Some are produced by companies that make a variety of adult material and aren’t really into the spanking scene and don’t understand it – they don’t appreciate the importance of a story and they can’t imagine a scene that doesn’t quickly move to sex. The others, from companies like those I listed above, judging from the packaging, appear to be mostly pirated. If I could be a genuine legal copy of their films in the shops I would, but if all I’m doing is giving the money to some grubby intermediary who has probably found a copy of the film on the internet and run a few copies off on to DVDs then, frankly, I’d rather just download them myself in the first place.
