| Pros: |
I became member, due to a mistake: they sent me a $15/month deal by e-mail and I (stupidly) thought it was a great deal, without understanding that this deal is for everyone! :-)
Good Selection of high quality hardcore gonzo videos.
Good talent: both female & male.
$15/month special deal is OK for a month if you have tried all other sites that do not have DRM. |
| Cons: |
The silent DRM: you can use the videos after the membership expires, but I'm still sceptical about having DRM content on my hardrive, how do I know that it works if I change computer etc?
Most newer videos are only available as streamed flash movies, you can not download them.
Standard $30/month is WAY too expensive. |
| Bottom Line: |
Silent DRM: avoid, boycott, tell them that we don't like this!
Best content not available to download: avoid, boycott, tell them that we don't like this! |

Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).

| Pros: |
Good selection of videos (for streaming)
Very good video quality (although not the best)
Great selection of niches (for my taste)
Reasonable price (for a streaming site)
Pretty good navigation
Streaming is the best I've seen |
| Cons: |
DRM, DRM and more DRM
Most videos are not downloadable, but if they are DRM protected, what good is downloading anyway unless you intend on joining for an extended period? |
| Bottom Line: |
OK, I'm not a fan of streaming sites and most I will NOT join. I joined this one after reading reviews and the streaming and DRM were the only negatives I could find. I thought, what the heck, I'll join for a month.
RLD's streaming is the best I've ever used. It loads quickly and allows you to jump up in a scene without some long buffering delay. You can go straight to the money shot if you want.
I know the DRM is a huge drawback (like Manuel Ferreira's foreskin) but if you are into streaming, you should give it a try.
Follow-Up:
I am editing my review because I rejoined and the DRM does not prevent you from replaying the videos or copying them to disc. They still use the DRM to prevent pirating, but not to prevent the members from watching them at a later time, even when they are no longer members.
The content is terrific. Many of the vids are not yet available in download, just stream, but they are increasing it from what I can tell from my previous membership. Now, please, how about a discount for TBP users?? |

| Pros: |
- Very large archive of movies.
- Searching for movies or pornstars is very straightforward.
- Trial offers full access to the site. (3 days for $4.95)
- Picture sets available for most movies. I think they are the same photo galleries available on the DVDs. |
| Cons: |
- Buyer Beware 1: ALL MOVIES HAVE DRM!
- Buyer Beware 2: Most movies are available only in streaming flv format. Even at "full-screen" these streaming vids are of mediocre quality.
- Very limited number of movies are available for download & have DRM.
- Normal monthly price is very high for primarily streaming-only content.
- Navigation is not user-friendly.
- Photo galleries have no zip option and only show 8 thumbnails at a time. Lots of clicking "Next."
- "Bonus sites" are really ads. |
| Bottom Line: |
I really enjoy Red Light District movies. I thought that I would enjoy the site, too. The tour clearly states "Download Our Entire Archive!!!" However, the vast majority of the archive, particularly newest and oldest DVDs are only available as streaming videos. Additionally, the DVDs that are available for download are loaded with DRM. Unfortunately, the terms of service are so convoluted that I couldn't find a reference to DRM, even though I scanned through the entire ToS.
DRM alone is a deal-breaker. Combine that with the fact that most of the scenes are streaming only and I wouldn't have joined the site. On top of that, add false advertising claiming that you can download the entire archive of DVDs and I just had to keep dropping the score. 56 instead of 50 is because of the number of DVDs available for viewing.
I joined this site because of the full trial option and to see what movies were available online. I'm glad that I only wasted $5 instead of $30 for a full month's membership. This site should be avoided at all costs! |

Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
|
| Pros: |
- Quality video is very good
- Various gonzo porn |
| Cons: |
- Only one more movie a day... when it works. Sometimes there is no update during one or two weeks...
- After one month, movies are archived and not accessible
- Download is impossible
Must I continue or you have already understood? |
| Bottom Line: |
Obviously it doesn't work. Go away! A lot of officials movies makers sites are better!
it's a pity because Club Red Light makes very good gonzo. |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
