Hmm - if it's genuine clip stealing then yes. But quite often what happens is that sites sell their clips to other sites. For instance you can see a number of Pink Visual clips on Video Box. I haven't seen that many Pink Visual clips elsewhere though.
Mind you as someone who loves Pirate Bay and supports some of the anti copyright organisations and also the ones who support free speech on the internet, there is a whole lot of discussion and opinions to be found on this. There are a lot of grey areas around now due to the internet, that were not around before.

Was a member approx. 3 months prior to this review.
|
| Pros: |
Quite attractive girls, surprisingly young and relatively inexperienced. (I said "relatively")
Great camerawork, as on most of the Pink Visual sites. This means you get to see all of the girl looking attractive rather than too many close up gynaecological shots.
No condoms.
NO DRM.
You get pictures, good ones, and lots of them.
No download limits, apart from only a limited amount of episodes being available for download.
The DVD quality is really good, although only the newer clips have that. |
| Cons: |
Excruciating navigation. Older clips are cut up into tiny pieces - sometimes 7-9 without any picture clue as to where you are in the clip.
An awful lot of talking followed by a an awful lot of oral, especially on the old clips.
Only a few clips are relesed for download each month. You have to be a member for a month then they release some more. Then you have to stay for another month to have access to the next batch.
Older clips are poor to average quality and not available for download.
The men talk too much, are occasionally irritating, and make some unpleasant comments about the girls or at least treat them a little less than respectfully.
There is the cheap and nasty trick extra site sign up box, so I deduct 5 marks for that.
If you cancel they offer you a discount, plus access to other sites. Shame they don't do that for loyal customers. |
| Bottom Line: |
I was a memeber of this site as it was a member of the Pink Visual organisation. I thought it worth doing a review as TBP have just done one.
The site used to be called "Teens For Cash."
My membership lapsed at the end of September.
The TBP review said they were no longer updating, although they were when my membership lapsed, but that was 2 months ago. There are still a lot of episodes to keep you happy.
For me what is the best thing about the site is the attractivenes of the girls (although still too many tattoos - arghhh!) and the camerawork which brings out the best of the models. The whole site gives an appearance of quality.
The older clips are more annoying because with the lousy navigation and shorter clips you can just find yourself continually streaming all the talking and more talking.
Even for the photo enthusiasts the navigation is a pain.
You get a $10 discount if you join through TBP, which is what I did.
The DVD quality on the Pink Visual sites have dimensions of 1068 by 600 with bit rates of around 5000. Below this there is the 852 by 480 dimension with bit rates of around 2500. Toadsith suggested I put in more tech, so I have tried. You tech boffins will know what that all means. Personally I think the top rate is very good, and even the rate below that is quite good. |

Hi John,
RealSpankings has moderate to hard spankings and is quite good, but Lupus/RGE is stronger, and generally well directed. Her First Punishment/Rusian Slaves/Nettles/Russian Discipline is all one and the same thing. They are the same production company with different names. They are harder than RealS but maybe not quite as hard as Lupus, but have truly awful direction and editing, and a really annoying top. By far the hardest is Mood Productions, who aren't even linked to from PU/TBP because of legal reasons. Dallas Spanks Hard deserves a mention too. He has a very good reputation for customer service, as do RealS, but I wont subscribe anymore because of download limits. He is similar in strength to RealS. Hope this is of some help.

Ah yes, a lot of spankers do like the clothed spankings. At least with RealSpankings there's enough material to satisfy everyone's taste. The one thing I have noticed about the site which may be a bit picky, is if you go to the model directory, and look up a model, the list does not necessarily contain all the clips for that model. But then their system has always been a little haphazard.

As a quick follow up to the review and because I do like to get things right, I would like to add that Mr. M finally makes a few appearances in the new studio clips. Not before time, and the whole site goes down the plughole.

| Pros: |
There is a model index.
They have an updates calendar.
Most of the models are attractive girl next door types (or would be if the girl next door ever really looked like that).
A massive catalogue of material to choose from.
Old and experienced site with a good reputation, and reliable billing agents, so you shouldn't be risking your money.
They do have photos.
No DRM.
No download limit.
No regional discrimination for subscribers.
Very good value at $21.95.
The clips are quite often filmed in real time, without too many cuts or unnatural breaks.
There are usually 2 camera angles. One for the girl's ass, and one for the face. |
| Cons: |
Poor and confusing navigation, although it has improved in the past year.
The videos are even at the highest 700 kb/sec rate, not great quality by today's standards. Some of the old clips are very poor quality.
No WMV, only a choice of Flash Player or Real Media.
The clips have watermarks that can sometimes be obtrusive and annoying.
The best spankers have disappeared. The more recent productions have been weak.
They went nearly 2 years without new material, relying mostly on what had already been shot, while they waited to move to a new studio.
Not that many models, few new ones recently. So you see the same faces, (or whatever) a lot of the time.
Far too many clothed spankings, especially in recent years.
Being American the cane is hardly ever used, and then only very lightly.
The photos are posed, and not from the actual spanking clip.
Too much talking.
Some of the clips are cut up into ridiculously short segments, sometimes straight down the middle of the action. |
| Bottom Line: |
Bottom line - very appropriate given the niche.
I was last a member of this site about a year ago. I rejoined because my computer got a virus and all my files were wiped out. I wouldn't have joined for the more modern clips. The best spankers Lady D left long ago, and Mr M is not to be seen, most of the time.
The recent clips I find far too light and usually with the model partially or fully clothed. I find this boring. The old clips are by far the best, but the drawback is the quality is quite poor on a lot of these. They are redoing some of them in a new bit rate of 700kb/sec.
The picture quality and sound has improved over the years as the content quality has decreased IMO.
Here is roughly the bit rate over the years.
2001 - 75kb/sec
2002 - 150 kb/sec. Some clips redone in 750kb/sec or 350 kb/sec from here onwards.
2003 - 225 or 450kb/sec.
2004 - 225 or 450kb/sec.
2005 - 225 or 450kb/sec
2006 - 350/700 kb/sec mostly from here.
Despite all the negatives I would still recommend this site as the No.1 choice for anyone who is interested in spanking but has never joined a spanking website. Some other sites deliver harder spankings, but here they are usually around moderate severity, which is reasonably safe, and almost old fashioned, for those who have an interest in this sort of thing. It is not my favourite spanking site because of all the negatives, but I still find it good value. It is almost the Video Box of the spanking world. It is like finding a 3 story warehouse of spanking clips. If you are looking for a clip in particular, it is quite hard to find. At least they have a reasonable model directory and calendar of updates. Last year I would have said this site has the worst navigation in the known universe, with the one exception of my girlfriend's map reading, but things have improved a little. The site now looks like something from the 21st century. A lot of faults, but is worth a look given the price. |

Great review. I agree with all you have said. One of my biggest negatives for this site is one of your "cons," namely there are far too many clothed spankings. This is one thing that has prevented me from re-subscribing to the site.

Another good informative review/comment admiral. You surprised me with there being so few anal clips given who runs the site - NetFame/Fame Dollars.

Another great review admiral, and good investigation into the very cloudy download limit situation. Most if us hate download limits, but they're even worse when you're unclear what the download limit is.

Absolutely disgusting. I wouldn't touch those kind of dodgy rip off sites with a barge pole. There is NO doubt about their intentions either. They are there to trick you out of your money. A disgrace. My suggestion is to mark every site that tries this with a 50.

I think there is a big difference between the support BEFORE you join them and AFTER. I have heard a few bad things on here about their customer support. I have never joined their site and never intend to. Maybe we should all spam them and tell them what a wonderful site it is here at PU. We could give them a discount to join or something, then ignore them when they find there's nothing to download.

Another top notch review. Being the way I am, I look at the negatives first. This is a site I should be tempted to join but I'm not. Something about the girls and style which look so hard pro and well worn that it puts me off.

Anth's Comment
I think the main reason for PU existing, is to make money by helping genuine porn sites to make money. It mutually benefits both sides. At the same time they give the little guy a chance and a voice in the same way a lot of those TV shows, who challenge crooked organisations or companies, do.
I am really pleased to hear you got a result out of this. Sometimes sites make money out of very strange, incompetent, or dodgy behaviour, and the customer just lets it go, which encourages them, and means they are unlikely to change their ways. This is bad for the customer in the long run, but sometimes the customer bites back. Don't let them get away with it. By challenging them it benefits all of us.
Lets hope this is a lesson for all sites who try this sort of thing. None of us who have followed this are ever going to subscribe to this organisation now, and rightly so.

I agree with Anth on this. It doesn't matter how good the content is. If a site acts in a fraudulant, dishonest, or incompetetnt way, you would never join the site no matter how good the content is. I understand how pissed off customers are when this sort of thing happens. So shout as loud as you like as far as I'm concerned. I want to hear. You also get the warm feeling that by warning others you are diverting money away from rip off artists to genuine good quality sites.

Yeah it sounds like a good idea. I think you tend to like the sites I quite like. I'm not sure how much interest there would be here in such a thread. What makes me worried is that RealSpankings has its own forum. One guy that loves spanking argued that the people at Mood must be "scumbag sadists" or something similar, based on the harshness of the spankings. Myself and one other guy were basically saying - look if you love spanking the rest of the world thinks you are a sicko degenerate. If you, who are into this sort of thing, starts calling people who spank that hard, as scumbag sadists and degenerates, based purely on the strength of the spanking, what hope is there for us. I said I thought he was on very thin ice there anyway, making that sort of judgement. Basically it just shows how inflamed and moralistic supposedly open minded people can get, when they start to talk about those niche sites. But it may be worth starting a thread anyway!

Another good review Jay. There aren't too many of us on here interested in this sort of thing, so it's good to hear an informed opinion. Be interesting to see what the few of us consider to be the best "niche" sites. Probably we'd all go for entirely different ones. Maybe have to start a thread on that.

Monahan's Review
Good review, as always. I like this sort of thing, so was interested to hear what Sex Video Casting was like. I presumed there was no hardcore, but it sounds as though I was wrong. I don't really like the ddf heavily made up 10,000 shoots a month sort of porn, but this site sounds a bit different, and more to my liking.

Great review as always Ik. I have recently joined this network due to them getting rid of pre checked cross sells. Overall I like the place. For once, this is a real network as each site has its own personality, therefore each site has its own pros and cons.
For me the downside and big negative of "She's New" is the lack of boy/girl hardcore but far too much oral/blowjobs and toys. A bit of a disappointment as I like the amateur/newcomer niche.
Will be doing a review in a couple of months, but hope they get some sign ups. I have found download speeds here in the UK are really good at most times of the day, and streaming is excellent quality.

Yes I've had trouble with inet-cash a few months ago. I ordered a clip then found my credit card had been charged again, then it looked like it was going to be charged again. I was told by the bank that on their system I was down as a monthly debit.
I tried to contact them, which they ignored, so I had to cancel my credit card. They replied after my second email telling them that I had to cancel my credit card. They said there was a fault in the system, and they refunded most of the money. It was a little short because of their exchange rate system which always seem to favour them rather than us.
I would now be rather hesitant to use their services but the spanking sites seem to like them. I haven't had trouble with them before.

It reminds me of Reginald Perrin - "amazing sale, 25% ON." Yes, it's regional discrimination again. You could do what Denner suggests. Email them and hassle them about the price. Even if they don't relent and give you the correct price, it costs them time and money to deal with you, and also lets them know they've lost a customer.
