• Encrypted Zip: Every video, along with its associated files, would be packed in an encrypted zip that would be able to be decrypted with a master key entitled "zip_extraction_key.txt". This method might help improve the longevity of the library.

• Standard Zip: Every video would be packed in an unencrypted zip for organization of included files (because some CHs come with txt and pdf files). This method is less protective of the library.

• Raw Files: Every video would be uploaded to the archive as it came (avi, mp4, mkv, wmv, etc...) and the included files would be added to a folder along with the associated video. This method provides the least amount of protection to the library, and could easily cause videos to be taken down.

This is not meant to be a replacement for book_guy's Mega Sharing Zones. It would serve merely as an additional source to obtain Cock Hero videos from, especially older ones whose download links are dead.

If you have reservations and/or questions about anything in relation to this, let me know, preferably before you vote. I'll run this poll for 30 days and make my decision based upon the resulting majority.

EDIT: If you are in support, please let me know what format the files should be uploaded in:

• Encrypted Zip: Every video, along with its associated files, would be packed in an encrypted zip that would be able to be decrypted with a master key entitled "zip_extraction_key.txt". This method might help improve the longevity of the library.

Throw out the idea of using anything that doesn't require the user to validate themselves (e.g. standard zips, raw files, etc). Although they are easier to deal with and a nice convince, they make it easier to flag. By using encrypted zips you're requiring someone to go out of their way in order to access the file, you're decreasing the chance of getting it accessed by a bot. This was the exact reason captcha was created.

DWreck1995 wrote: Fri Jul 26, 2019 4:52 am As a side note, I've seen the development of algorithms designed to scan common video formats for watermarks of a company (typically a logo in a bottom/top corner) and flag them. In time DMCA will only be harder to fight. So even if it's not a problem at this moment, I recommend future proofing it to save work in the long run.

DWreck1995 wrote: Fri Jul 26, 2019 4:52 am I have a HDD with every Cock Hero (even the ones I don't like) I've been able to get over the years. So something like this wouldn't really benefit me. However, in spirit of sharing with the community, I'd be glad to provide whatever you don't already have in your collection (if any) to upload if you decide to go through with it.

Spoiler: show

As an aside, Pornhub is becoming increasingly difficult to upload Cock Heros to (is Spankbang any better?). Some are even flagged immediately for takedown due to bot detection. Has anyone considered uploading their works to a decentralized video platform, such as Bitchute, as a solution to this? Admittedly, the quality will take a hit, but at least the video won't be removed from there.

Actually, upon investigation, they do have a section prohibiting the uploading of copyright-infringing content! But why? They're a decentralized service. I saw something about advertising in their page on monetization, so I'm thinking maybe that's why (even though it doesn't apply to XXX). It makes me wonder if they actually enforce that policy, because there's definitely infringing content on Bitchute. Strange.

Just some food for thought.

Are you referring to the time Milovana's hard drive crashed and the site was down for a bit? I remember that occurring, but I don't remember all of the details. I was lurking around these forums since 2016 until I decided to make my account.

Spoiler: show

If the revision is small enough, or barely different from a previous version, the file size can be greatly reduced by using a patching tool, such as xdelta. The author would render the revised version, generate a patch/delta file from the differences between the two versions, and share the patch file with the community. Then, the user would apply the patch file to the original version, and the revised version is output.

temptemp wrote: Sat Jul 27, 2019 1:25 am The Archive isn't meant to be a Wild West backwater for hosting all content of questionable legality. I don't know how they'd react to a load of large archive (ZIP) files with passwords and a bunch of thumbnails of T&A and lord knows what else! I've been surprised by some of the stuff found on there but I can only assume copyrights have expired on them.
