As a previous member of Dawn's Place, I know for a fact that all videos that I downloaded were able to be viewed after my subscription expired. All I had to do was enter my old username/password when requested. I did receive an email indicating that I could get a permament license by just viewing the files and entering my old username, which worked great. I didn't have to join again to view the files. Of course, because I love the site, I did, and now I get all of her latest HD stuff without licenses.

If you are having problems, contact their tech dept, they are top notch!

to licence or not to licence

was a member of 'dawnsplace' many months ago, but within 2010.
after emailing them about DRM i was told, at that time, i could keep the clips i downloaded indefinately as long as i was prepared to go through a procedure to view them. after i was done with the site a few months later i couldn't view my clips, what a surprise.it's really of no consequence to me, i didn't like the site, to vanilla. so today at 4pm est jan 5 i get an email saying that they have done away with drm completely but that anybody that has dawns place clips would have to re-apply for a licence! sounds like the government to me! what a joke. never had to go through this crap with ANY other site

I NEVER have to enter my login info to each video on this site. I have entered it once for the license, and that's it, not for every video. Maybe talk to them about any issues you have had, their customer service is great, even have an LIVE ONLINE CHAT option. As to the other stuff, lately they have been doing a lot more content from various angles, so I am sure you will find more to enjoy.

Former Member

I am a former member of this site. All of Dawn's videos are fresh and very hot and she clearly is one of the best amateurs on the web today. I cancelled my membership because of the annoying "Dawn's Place" intro to each video, the pain of having to re-enter your password and get a license each time you view a video, and most of all the fact that in nearly every video, her cameraman (husband??) moves the camera off of her face at the point of orgasm. if you want to see a beautiful woman's facial expressions as she climaxes, this is not the site for you.

I have been a member off and on since 2001. Sometimes I signup for a full year, other times for just a few months. Never been dissapointed, as Dawn does EVERYTHING that pleases me. I'll see when I have time to do a full review.

East there Easy. I was simply asking you, not accusing you. I am just trying to gather as much information as I can. The site looks like it would be decent but I am not 100 comfortable shelling out $30 for a site I know uses DRM. How long ago were you a member? Since there is no review of this site perhaps you should write one and explain how this all works to everyone. :)

No, I do not work for them.

You emailed them, and they replied, verifing you will be able to continue to view the files. I would say that is a good start in customer support and in trusting the site.

I replied to this thread as a previous member, still being able to view files that I have saved for years. Guess this isn't the place to post members feedback. I thought it was.

I can't speak of what other sites do with their DRM.

Dawn's Place uses DRM to keep content to be as valued to their customers, vs being spread around the net for free. Their customers continue to view the files after their subcription expires. Why not try it and see for yourself?

I am assuming this is fairly exclusive for this site though. The few sites that I have actually joined with DRM have given me a great deal of issues with backing up. An I certainly could not transfer the files to another computer and play them after my membership ended. Hustler even made me reacquire the license every three days I believe no matter what I did. And of course these videos could not be played in a DVD player that could normally play computer videos.

It sounds like this place mights as well not even have DRM in their videos. It makes them sound much more scary than you say they are.

Yes, files can be backed up or moved to another computer. Their DRM is setup to work for the user as much as DRM can be.

The only why to know if it is the same user would be to log IP addresses. So say next year you move, your address is different and they assume you are someone else.

Perhaps you have a way for them to burn, but try putting it in another computer or a DVD player....it is not going to work too well. Unless of course you know something I dont, please tell me!

And yes, you can have your backup and continue to view the files AFTER your subscription has expired. They have the facilities to know if it is the same user or not.

That would depend. I use Nero for DVD writing and it will not write DRM material to my knowledge. Other programs can do more with DRM, but any backup would only serve you if you still were an active member of the site that the video was downloaded from.

I seriously doubt they would allow you to reacquire the licenses without repaying. Reason being that they have no way of know if it is the same person or not. They would not know if you got the DVD with their videos on it from a buddy or downloaded through some file sharing network or newsgroup. This is the whole point of having DRM on a site that allows a permanent license. They dont mind if you watch the video forever, but they dont want people who did not pay watching it forever too. So I would not count on that.

The only thing I could think of is if you were to provide them with previous username/password and other personal information so they now it is you.

I know of the DRM system that is used on Dawnsplace.

You CAN back up the files (say on a data dvd or hd). And even if your computer crashes, you will still be able to get a new license from Dawn's Place on your new computer/hd to continue to view them after the subscription expires.

To ace of aces (179):

I have seen this before actually. They choose how the licensing is set up. Hustler for example set there DRM to retest the license every 3 days, others will set them to a certain date, usually the date you subscription would end, and you would have to reacquire the licenses assuming you were still a member. The goal being that if you dont stay a member you lose the ability to watch the movie..unless you change the system date on your computer. :)

What they are saying is that once you acquire the license for the video, it is yours to keep forever. Their goal would seem to be to prevent file sharing, unfortunately they would also be preventing us from making a back up or putting it on another computer after the membership expired. That sort of DRM is reasonable, but it still can get you later on if your computer crashes, you get a different computer, or want to use a different media player or DVD player.

That is the reply I received a few minutes ago from them. So I guess as long as you dont switch computers you should be okay? Still does not sound overly convincing to me for $30.

True. I sent them an email, so we will see if they reply to if. I am hoping for no DRM, but I am worried that even if they are not using DRM anymore they may not have removed it from past movies! That would be terrible! Will let you know if they reply.

yeah, i totally agree to youre opinion with the drm. it`s for me an absolutely no for joining a site.

you read the terms of condition? it is always to unsecure. i think that they change the toc faster then you can read them. it is always hard to prove which toc were the right ones when you have joined. only printing out would be a opportunity...but what a waste of paper :)...

the girl looks interesting. i saw here live on livecams and she gave a proberbly good show. the promo vid looks interesting, wether the quality doesn`t seem to be high...wihtout drm i would give it a try also for 30$ (if i want to have something... ;) )

I wish I had a real answer for you. Looks like a good site, nice model :)

I am not going to join because in the terms and conditions page it still mentions DRM under section 11. I am not going to waste $30 just to confirm this though, after all it is in the terms and I am sure they would remove it otherwise. I know this does not totally answer your question, but I guess it gives a good idea of what to expect the answer to be.

DRM will be the downfall of the online porn industry!

An unbelievable amount of her content has turned up on BitTorrents and is easily obtained from Kazaa and other file sharing systems, so DRM implementation is not surprising. This is why, however, sites should focus on updating more often than not. The stuff on the peer-to-peer networks tends to be several Years out of date, and newer, higher quality stuff with better material is more likely to be found at the originating site.
