You're clearly right when you say that some webmasters look at this site. The example of ZTOD is perfect. I remember when they stopped the DRM they seemed to be genuinely interested in what we at PU had to say. The resolution of the files was crappy at first but the ZTOD webmaster caught hell for that too and that was changed.
I do still stand by my comment about companies like Vivid and Anabolic. I don't think they continue to use DRM because they feel a need to protect their stuff, I think that they just don't give a flying fuck about their customers.
BTW - I suggested a user poll that links DRM and file sharing. Almost universally, it seems that PU members hate DRM, so I wondered if we put our money where our mouths are. Does the average PU member bitch about DRM and then post their non-DRM files on a sharing site. If the folks at PU choose to post that poll it will be interesting to see the results.

I usually have two memberships on the go at any given time. I maintain a long-term membership to VideoBox and then usually look for something else of interest. Many times that additional site is something in the Kink.com network.

I can't help but read this is light of a recent user poll where the overwhelming number of members said that DRM issues are their #1 pet peeve. Vivid could have one of the best sites on the 'net but by allowing streaming only and no DRM-free downloads they lose that ability. This is just my opinion of course, but I suspect that this isn't some error in using a 5 year old business model, but this is just showing disrespect to customers. If anything, it puts studios like Red Light, 3rd Movies, Zero Tolerance, Diabolic and German Goo Girls in a better light. Those companies realized that they could keep customers happier AND make more money by losing the DRM. (Funny that link between satisfied customers and making money…)
Down with Vivid (and other companies like Anabolic who thumb their noses at customers); up with Pornusers for giving us a forum to get this important information.

For me, all of the things in the list can cause me to not join a site but the biggest one by far that ALWAYS stop me from joining is DRM. DRM is a dinosaur. Sure, I can understand why some companies want to use them, but for those of us who don't abuse the rights of the owners it pisses me off that they think they can strip me of my rights as a purchaser.
Most of the other issues listed I can put up with if the site is something that I really want to see.
Anything but DRM. Death to DRM!

Thanks for this Picky. This is a big help and I really appreciate it. Without this ability to ask questions of other users I would have passed based on the initial view and price. I think based on what I've read here I'll get a membership sometime in the near future.

picky's Review
Thanks for the review Picky. This is one of the many advantages of this site - I didn't know Slaves existed until you reviewed it. BDSM is my favourite genre so its great to have another site to check out.
Are you familiar with the material from Kink.com? They have sites like The Training of O, Sex and Submission and Water Bondage. If you are familiar with Kink, how does Slaves compare to what Kink has? If you aren't familiar with Kink, disregard my question, but do yourself a favour and check them out.
And I just gotta add - OUCH! That price! If it is a good site I'll happily pay it though.

Thanks Cybertoad. My thoughts are that this site works for all of us so if I don't give enough detail or assumed to much then it works well for all of us when that's pointed out so I can correct it.
Thanks for the trust rating.

Cybertoad's Reply
Sorry for the lack of detail Cybertoad. I guess I assumed that a lot of people would be familiar with Kink stuff, and that probably just isn't the case. To answer your questions:
Content details: The Eastern European scenes start with a scantily clothed woman in some sort of bondage and often with a ball gag. She is paraded around in public and made to do humiliating things like drink from a dog bowl or let people touch her. The scenes then shift to sex in some outdoor and public location. The U.S. scenes are more like a gangbang scene with bondage and Kink props used. There are several scenes in each shoot using a different bondage or prop setup. In the U.S. scenes the 'public' element is a little strained in that it is shot inside for obvious reasons, but the trade off is that the models are more widely known.
The humiliation level in both the European and U.S scenes is fairly high.
Video quality: decent. I'm not a techie so I don't know what is objectively good. The bitrate is 2140kbps and the dimensions are 960x540.
Other stuff: There are no dowmload limits that I'm aware of on any Kink site. If there was one, I'd have surely run into it on their other sites. There is no DRM either.
As for the thread where people are complaining about it being too tame, I can understand that but I don't really agree. It's a subjective thing. I read the thread and many people seem to want to see specific things, especially more humiliation. I like the balance they have now, though if they added more humiliation I wouldn't complain.
Another complaint that I do agree with is that the shoots in the U.S are a lot like other Kink stuff, but just with a gangbang thrown in. It looks a lot like Training of O or Sex and Submission.
If there is a valid complaint in the thread it might be that the site seems to advertise more humiliation and less sex, when what you get is less humiliation and more sex. I don't necessarily agree with that since I think having a woman tied up and fucked outside while people watch is pretty humiliating. But I won't complain if they ramp it up.
I also note on the forum link that you posted that there is only one thread that has anything negative, so for the most part people seem satisfied.
I hope I've answered your questions. If you need more info or more detail post a reply to this and I'll be happy to answer.

I agree 100% with you that having to use "Kink Dollars" can hide the price of the videos you want to buy. I'm no expert on using them as I only did it once. I bought the advance video for Public Disgrace because i really wanted to see it.
To answer your question though, I can't really say. The problem is that to get the PD video I needed a certain number of Kink dollars and since they only appear to be available in certain values, I had to buy more than I needed. So I actually had to pay more for the video than Kink was actually charging because I don't think I'll be able to use the remaining Kink dollars without buying more. (This is just a guess, but I think I had to buy 30 Kink dollars for $30US and then used maybe 22 Kink dollars for the scene.)
For me, I think that if you only want one or two scenes you are probably better off getting a one-month membership.

drphil's Review
Drphil - one of the advantages of this site is the honesty and difference of opinion available before we spend on sites. I think Diabolic is a great value even though the price is higher than other sites. I balance that actual cost against what the site offers, and in my opinion Diabolic is one of the best studios out there and for them to offer a substantial part of their catalogue for this price with no DRMs makes this a great value.
You've noted in a comment that as of late December the file sizes have greatly increased. Please consider editing your actual review to reflect these changes. The fact that the webmaster has responded to us actual customers, and actually improved the site based on our complaints, speaks volumes for the effectiveness of Pornusers.com and while we should be critical where it is needed we should also reward and reflect good customer service.
Thanks for adding your opinion to the mix.

I wish I was that lucky! Porn shops in my area seem to have stopped carrying Diabolic stuff. Many other top studios too. It may be that the Canadian Border Services is being run by a bunch of Baptist women who deem Diabolic's stuff too offensive, but for now, the website is my only means of getting Diabolic.

I think it's all relative. I agree that many may think that this site is just a big expensive advertisement, but that would only happen if you had reasonable access to Diabolic DVDs. Diabolic is a great studio and this site gives access to a lot of their stuff. I think it's a decent value.
It's great to have these debates though since different perspectives always help.

jd1961's Reply
jd1961 - I wasn't just copying you, but like you I think that is the key to the pros and cons. Max isn't for everyone. Max isn't like anyone else on the 'net. If someone likes Max then that is probably the biggest 'pro' and if they hate him, that's probably the biggest 'con.' Because you reviewed the site favourably I'm assuming that like me, you're a Max fan. I find the contrast between his older stuff (like stuff with Tammi Ann, Vixxxen, Anastasia Blue) taped in the early to mid 1990s seems almost tame now compared to his newer stuff when in its day it was pretty extreme. I remember being blown away when I saw Tammi Ann gagging on Max's cock in Hitchhiker 1 when it came out in 1993. That was so much more extreme than anything else then. But now gagging is common and Max continues to push the envelope. I'm not sure how much more envelope-pushing I can take though. Or how much more envelope-pushing the US government will tolerate. But there is obviously a big market and fan base for Max because he's still in business and I assume he's pretty well off.
BTW - I liked your review a lot. It could stand as the only Max Hardcore review but i wanted to add in my 2 cents worth so any Max fans would know that at least two of us give it pretty similar reviews.

Up here in the frozen north called Canada, The Movie Network runs adult videos after hours which is pretty good, but like Pinche said about his satellite provider the cut off the money shot. I don't get this. They'll show oral, vaginal, evan anal, but the money shot gets edited. Must be some special arrangement with the religious people...

If the site has some specialized niche I'd pay a decent price for it. If anyone ever makes a site with downloadable, no DRM porn from 1985 to 1995 I'd buy that. That's too new to be called 'classic' and too old for most mainstream users.

I look for two things before I ante up for a membership. The first is a decent TBP review and the second is a certificate of legal complaince so I know I'm not buying something illegal. But with TPB the second point is pretty much moot.
With TPB I've had more memberships than I normally would because I can subscribe with confidence.

I was a member of AdultBouncer for well over a year until some of the studios started putting DRM on the content. I cancelled a month later. DRM deserves a quick death!
