To owen (6):

I think DRM should always be mentioned as a "Con"...I love Private's videos, but DRM has never played well on any computer I've ever had. It causes problems and is difficult to play, then when you leave a site the video goes away and becomes unplayable.

That's a big "Con" for me and why I'd never join any site with DRM. So many download sites are available and should be encouraged.

I've checked out this Freeones.com deal and it's kind of a mess. On the first "Join Now" page, it refers to a price of 9.95/month whether you are in a country that uses euros, US dollars or British pounds. Then when you go past that page to the Epoch.com page, the price changes to 9.95 euros for 1 month, recurring at $24.95 euros/month, which is a LOT more expensive than the deal first promised. I've e-mailed Private.com. It will be interesting to see if I get a response.

I remember the magazine some, it wasn't real easy find unless at an adult store, but I do remember having a few. I think there are a lot of people that still prefer having the paper issue that they can roll up in their suitcase without fearing leaving cookies on their computer! I will probably one day give in and join just to see the Eve and Mia videos. Then I will regret it and be mad at myself when I write the review for their site!

I hear ya brother. If you've ever bought any of their magazines or vids you'll see that they come with about 5 or 6 languages in/on them plus they have eastern european versions of the same stuff. They started out as a magazine and video company and that is their niche as I believe they are still the biggest in Europe. Apparently there are still a lot of noninternet consumers willing to shell out big $$ for their stuff because they wouldn't be making it off of the internet alone.

I have been wanting to join this site for two years, but never have because of the DRM. They have several videos of Eve Angel and Mia Stone that I do not have in my collections. Hopefully, one day they will realize all of the business they are losing and remove the DRM.

Needs a 21st Century Upgrade

I used to be fan of private and joind the site several times before the days of high speed internet and the explosion of quality on-line porn. Today, Private seems stranded in the past. I haven't been a member in several years now and was recently going over reviews here and at other review sites with the idea that I might re-up. I can't say that I'm really convinced to do so.

They still only post about 15 pics per set (who the hell does that any more) and still insists on DRM protection. All of this plainly states that they are still making their living off of magazines and DVDs and probably won't budge until their sales start falling too flat. With their huge back catalog this could be one of the ultimate web destinations but instead choses to stay stuck in the past.

Spot On jd1961, I agree with you.

Read my review if you wish. I feel totally ripped off having joined the site, and you are right, after finding some DVDs that looked interesting, I clicked on them only to find that I was redirected to their shop where I could spend more money on their merchandise if I'm stupid enough. The sad reality is that they do have the best girls on the Net, I guess their Boardroom & share holders have stopped loving Porn and are only interested in fleecing their members. I can't believe I'm reading rave reviews for the quality of their site content.

To Denner (146):

I'm sorry I should make this clear---I consider DRM to be spyware. That is when you play one of those videos, the DRM is being used to restrict individuals' use of their own copies of published works. To enforce these restrictions, DRM software must monitor and control a computer users' behavior. Frequently it reports on what it sees. That's by definition spyware. This is why these sites must be boycotted, given an automatic 20 points off in reviews, and brought to the attention of everyone. These sites must be made to suffer financially, even to the point of ruin. This site, Private, which produces quality porn, has for years overcharged on their product. They were one of the first companies to go online. But they do not deliver for the money. Imagine going to a bookstore and buying a book and taking it home to read it. But to open it, you must call the bookstore, and get their permission!

VERY interesting comment from jd.
From time to time I've been tempted by this site (they seem to have some exclusive Silvia Saint).
But it has always seemed somewhat "suspect" to me - and I have never checked it out seriously. (Origin states Spain, but that's an old, quite old Swedish company).
And this info from jd about having to install some kind of spyware to be able to download - EVEN - DRM protected videos is simply out of line.
Does that mean you pay 20 and still NOT get allround access to the DRM video-files, less you say yes to the spyware hassle?
If thats so, glad I haven't joined.

Has Private Online Changed?

Has this site changed from being nothing more than an advertisement for their over priced DVD's? I notice there is still no downloading allowed (unless you consider the installation of spyware on your computer "downloading"). Last time I was there they offered very little except ways to purchase their merchandise.

Also, I was a member there a while back and they had issues with getting videos to work on Macs. The preview clips they used worked fine for me but when I actually joined the site nothing really worked. Then I went on their message board and there were threads started 2 years prior about the same issues and they never fixed them. They gave me a full refund though which was nice but hopefully someday they get everything working right and get rid of the DRM because I really like their stuff and think it's some of the best out there...

DRM??? I HATE DRM, it really causes poor quality and is totally unworkable! While I enjoyed Private DVD's, a site with DRM is only for those who haven't seen the hundreds of better sites on the web.

good news

Private is now a very good site: new homepage, a lot of hardcore movies with beautifull girls (I'm not interested about magazine).
- entertain: 10/10
- quality: various but hight (not so hight for old movies)
- updates: weekly, but some movies are changed during the week
- exclusive: 10/10
- download: 3 speed wmv, very good
- but DRM protection
- value: 17/20 a bit expensive
Bottom line: after a long waiting, Private now is a decent site wich can only grow. The problem is DRM.
