Looking through the preview photos, I gotta agree with you - it looks like they are using seriously sub par equipment. My $700 DSLR takes photos that are just as good. One really needs to foot the bill for a proper camera if they want to be METArt 2.0.

I don't usually read the Terms and Conditions but I'll bet this isn't all that uncommon. In business in general it is common practice to reserve as many rights as you can think of with no concern as to if it will or will not hold up in the court of law. If you had it written down in the first place it can do nothing other than help you. So they write it down and hope for the best. If you check the policies of many companies outside this industry you'll find the same thing. The company I work for reserves everything excluding possibly enslaving your offspring to pay off debts incurred. Though we might have an addendum that covers that.

A Drooler and Denner pointed out, the sheer number of porn websites necessitates that there will be ones with unethical (no dash necessary) business practices. Frankly, by its very nature the question is rather vague and certainly far reaching - unethical practices can be little, annoying things like the pre-checked trial sign-ups or content rotation to big, serious things like identity theft.
I would say half of the sites in the world practice some sort of unethical business methodology. I would say those that are seen in TBP's database are much less likely to behave in such a manner. Many sites are plain bad, but not that many are trying to rip you off per-say.

"A Studied Casualness", good term - yeah, that might not be up my alley, but I'll have to check it out none-the-less. I'm certainly quite used to casual style in videos, I'm just usually less of a fan in photos. I guess, I won't know for certain until I browse the site for a while. Thanks for all the info :-)

Thanks for the clarification - it validates my estimation of the content from their preview pages. I thoroughly understand how you've tired of the "perfect" model look, it can get boring. Years ago I was a member of both MET Art and Hegre Art (back when it was called the Hegre Archives) with year long subscriptions to each. By the time the year was up, just about the last thing I wanted was to look at another glamour girl posing in a window. So I joined a few ATK sites, and that was a nice departure from the glamour model look.
As for the technical aspects of the photography - I guess I'm a bit of stickler about that. A number of people like the poor photography that sometimes shows up on Suicide Girls (which I've been a member of off and on for years) - it always drives me nuts. It isn't just a matter of the photos being crisp and throughly in focus - modern autofocus is so superb that the camera will handle that just fine as long as there is even remotely enough light. An old Sony I had actually projected a laser matrix in front of it and would autofocus in nearly pitch black.
Even with "grit" porn, I expect a certain artistic focus. So you want to do aggressively unorthodox photos and put the photographer's feet in the photo? Fine - but make that style a continuing theme throughout the site. In the preview photos I see photos that could use much color balancing, plus others with washed out colors, flash shadows and so on. Many of the photos look like they want to be smoother, they just aren't.
If you want it to be gritty - photograph it at high ISOs. Throw various objects in the extreme foreground that we have to look past. Give us bizarre angles, like overhead or underneath shots. Photograph using just the on camera flash - or light the scene with a TV. There are tons of fun ways to look amateur while being professional - I just get frustrated by content that looks professional with some amateur seeping through.
Frankly, early Hegre Art stuff had a lot of that problem, he has come a long way over the years. I don't know how young Girls Out West is - maybe they too will improve with time, or maybe they know what they are doing and it just won't ever be quite to my taste. I'll join at some point in the future and try it out, a number of the models do look rather interesting.

Looks like an interesting site, I may have to check it out sometime in the future. Though it appears to have the same basic downfall of the amateur style that Abby Winters has, many cute models but very, very few beautiful models. At least as far as the photos they put in their tour.
The photography also appears to be sub par in technical skill when compared to Simon Scans or Abby Winters (in my opinion the big two in this genre) and your description seems to confirm this. (Am I right about that?) Still, photo shoots with less of an agenda can sometimes capture some very interesting moments. Plus, the site does seem to have a huge variety of models - more varied than either of the aforementioned sites - so that is appealing.

She is indeed very cute and her style is extremely reminiscent of Bo Derek from her legendary role in "10".
For those who don't know about the role, a very good example of her look in the film is provided in these screen caps:

Anyway, exotics4me, one quick question - does this site have any hardcore or lesbian content?

messmer, why not invest in a nice widescreen monitor with a rotatable stand and then just leave the monitor in portrait mode? Or even just align it that way when you are viewing photos.
Portrait for many stylistic and practical reasons is the popular trend right now, I doubt that'll change too soon.

Are we to pull off all websites that feature John Holmes as well? What about Haley Paige?
Come on now. People die - their work lives on. Thus is the entertainment business: Be it porn, movies, music, books, paintings, et cetera. If anything, one could argue that by denying the person's work an audience you are killing their possibility of a legacy. Then your Chloe Jones is just a young woman that died. Sure, it might not be in best taste to make no note of it on her website, but this industry isn't very well known for being in best taste. That is sometimes the appeal of the porn industry; that it is on the edge of bad taste.

Sorry, folks, I understand there are sentimental and nostalgic attitudes about this among you - but I really feel this is a silly topic.
Am I to believe that people can't enjoy "Some Like It Hot" the same way anymore because Monroe is dead? The same goes for porn, it is just entertainment. I think you are tying way too much of an emotional connection to these stars if you feel you can't watch their work after they've passed on. People die peacefully and tragically; it happens. What matters is that their work lives on and is enjoyed by future generations, even if it is "just porn".
Unless, you mean for me to take the question literally. In that case: Of course it bothers me! Zombies are NOT sexy!

Excellent, excellent! The serial number idea is gaining momentum. Now to step it up one more - all models that work in the industry longer than 3 months required to get a RFID chip implant. A very small one, and the content producers can just scan it when the model walks through the door, make a note of it and then display it on the screen when they first show the model. The number could also be tied to all sorts of industry things. It could fill out most of the model release paper work - the producers would just have to bring their laptop and a small printer to the shoot. It could give them the latest dates for the models tests, pull up her 2257 age information and so on. Of course the producers would have to subscribe to the industry database to get that info, it wouldn't be open to the public - but it really could be a huge time saver for the models, producers and public alike!

My suggestion is for all porn stars to be registered with a serial number, they could have a bar code tattoo like Hitman or just wear porn dog tags. So at the beginning of a scene, like a captured soldier, they can read out their serial number and then the producers can call them whatever they want. We'll be able to tell who is who though because of the unique number they are identified by.
Now the question is, how much am I joking with that suggestion? You know it would be less confusing...

Don't forget to stop by the forum - it is rife with topics of discussion, lots of interesting commentary. I spent the better portion of last evening writing up an article of sorts on my views about reviews, the function they serve and what I consider the proper creation of a review.
Check it out and join in - don't forget we can all do nifty Avatars now as well. I think Wittyguy was suggesting an Avatar gallery for the forum, lol

Cheers to that! I do prefer the term Mature as well - Cougar would be my second fav - though perhaps that is just because I like the idea of the so called Cougar (and that it has no bearing on the status of the woman's offspring).
Maybe Porn Users needs to create the next term ourselves?
How about: Sagelet

According to some pop-culture t-shirts and an episode on Brazzers, the term you are looking for is DILF (as in Dad I'd Like to Fuck). I am totally unaware of the status of this term in the gay community though - hopefully someone can chime in on that.
EDIT: LOL, Porn Users answered the question for me. Apparently DILF is a gay porn site, so I guess the term IS alive and well in the gay community!

People get to hung up on the actual meaning of the abbreviation "MILF" - for the most part, it is just in vogue right now. The term "Mature" is out. Something else will replace MILF in time.
As for my response if I found my own mother on a Mature or MILF site? Laugh and laugh and laugh - because I'd know she was only doing it for kicks as she sure as shit doesn't need the money.

While I don't count the cost of the membership into my reviews, the truth of the matter is it sometimes plays a major factor in deciding what sites I join. I keep a listing of sites I'm planning on joining - and usually the cheaper ones get joined quicker. So the discounts are really helpful by making sites financially accessible and always appreciated!

I know this reply is a little late, but the front page now distinctly shows anal play. Solo, but anal play none-the-less.
