Reason: Clarifying DRM situation
|
| Pros: |
Some excellent content
High quality on newer videos |
| Cons: |
DRM on older videos
Older videos which USED TO BE DRM-free have become DRM-protected
Older videos don't play on Mac OS
No full-scene downloads |
| Bottom Line: |
This would be a great site, but unfortunately it's ruined by bad DRM. I can't even play the older content on my Mac. That's bad enough, but what's worse is I've been a member in the past and it didn't used to be this way! They actually went through and broke all of their videos. Sorry, DRM = dealbreaker.
UPDATE: The older content does have iPod versions which seem to be DRM-free, and play on a Mac just fine. The quality is not that great though. Also the one-minute clips (also low quality) will work. Note that NONE of this is mentioned anywhere on the site. The technical requirements documentation doesn't say anything about it, and it even has a section dedicated to Mac browsers.
This does make one wonder: if you're going to release non-DRM versions of your content, why bother releasing it with DRM as well? The sites seem to have been acquired by Spice TV, so my assumption is that this is just another misguided attempt by a big network to control how its paying customers can use its content. They should at least be up front about this before asking you for your cash... |

*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.
