Hello guys,

what are the risks of publishing cock hero videos on pornhub?

Is the worst scenario removal of the video?

Thanks,

davidko

No cop is going to your house to arrest you.

Maybe they'll remove the video, that's it.

In Xvideos, they send you an e-mail, asking you to take your video down. They emailed me a few months ago. KateeLife.com reported the video (I used some Katee Owen videos on Cock Hero Island), and they asked me to take it down.

That was all.

Another point about the copyright lawsuits -- often it was a speculative lawyer or law-firm seeking out people whom they could sue, in anticipation of getting the fees and their 40% cut (if legal) when either a settlement or a verdict was reached, in which some dude didn't want his wifey to find out that he'd been downloading porn. These lawyers were sometimes simply normal lawyers, but more often, were seeking to exploit the system and were basically harassing the victims, even without (pre-arranged, though still it could be reasonably assumed) sanction from the companies whose copyrights were (supposedly) being violated. This latter group of exploiters was sometimes termed a "copyright troll" and you can read more about their methods by searching for that term on Google or Wikipedia etc.. The success rates of copyright-trolling (whether as actual hired lawyers of any copyright-holding company; or, simply, as mercenary "self-hired" guns going after whomever they could and then afterwards contacting the copyright holder) has recently dropped a good deal, because of two general developments. One, as rightly mentioned, the porn industry as a whole seems generally to have accepted that the market is always going to have some copyright infringement, so they're responding with other types of market pressure rather than doggedly pursuing their own rights to prevent unauthorized copying. Two, courts in several jurisdictions generally seem to be frowning upon the copyright troll behaviors, as much for the fact of trolling in all that this might ethically imply, as for the fact of being essentially "self-hired" (though technically not necessarily true, still, it's a fair metaphor). So, the courts seem to be against it a good deal; and there wasn't enough benefit in it for the porn industry over all; thus, the copyright troll is less and less effective these days.

Nevertheless, any of a copyright trolls lawsuits which did succeed, could today still succeed. The law hasn't changed (not in principle, not anywhere that I'm aware of; there may be minor tweaks, but they're immaterial to this discussion). Rather, there are coming to be a lot fewer entrepreneurial lawyers seeking to exploit the situation, nowadays. Doesn't mean you can't still legally be sued for copyright breach, or just plain old harassed and exploited, but your LIKELIHOOD of being the victim of that kind of trouble seems to be dropping.

Search for "copyright troll" and similar terms, get your best information from a REAL internet source, not from this discussion (including, not from my post). And, well, you know it, but I oughta say it, this post does not constitute legal advice. :)
