@Faptap I cannot speak for the other creators, but I do not mind that my work is on your website (if it truly is, I have not personally verified). Although I do personally feel like you should at the bare minimum give credit to them for their work. Itās no small task to create quality funscripts, and to rebrand someone elseās work as your own is extremely poor form.
@Faptap - I second Rustyās sentiments. TBH, Iād be perfectly fine with it had I been asked and at a bare minimum a link was provided back to my script index here on ES. But seriouslyā¦ nothing? Thatās really not a good look.
But if at any time faptap were to turn into a pay site (funded by either donations, subscription, or any other manner) and my work is hosted without my permission, thatās going to be irritating.
Would you mind taking a second to address this line of concern? Thanks!
This feature will be implemented soon. The site is still in ALPHA, so itās mostly a work in progress (things are changing daily). The videos on the website are currently a proof of concept for testing [1].
Expect an update which adresses this problem within the coming days.
[1] for testing devices, different streaming providers, performance, etc.
Thanks for the response- I look forward to seeing these concerns addressed.
While I understand that the site is still in Alpha, I feel that a simple direct message via ES would have gone a long way towards ameliorating any concerns that creators might have when it comes to finding their content hosted without their knowledge or consent. As a creator yourself, Iām sure youād feel the same thing if you were browsing a repo and found some of your source code attached to someone elseās project.
As an aside, the site looks great. Very clean and well laid out. Iām excited to see where you take it from here.
As achtstellige has already said, a simple PM would have been absolutely appropriate in my eyes, even for a proof-of-concept/alpha. As I said before, you can assume that most creators will easily give you permission to upload their scripts, but I donāt think itās good to just do it (even in an alpha).
AchtstelligeĀ“s comparison is good. You wouldnāt like it either if someone just copied your website 1:1.
In case you donāt know: Both the creation of such videos (actors) and the scripting takes a long time and is quite complex if the result is to be good. Even as an Alpha, you are essentially committing āintellectual property theft.ā I know intellectual property no longer exists in the internet age, and i dont want to open that old discussion again, but stillā¦ Just not good sportsmanship.
I will keep an eye on the Project. I hope you/the project do as well as Bukkake.moe.
You got me wrong. I dont want you to do anything. I just wanted to inform you, that somone is āstealingā YOUR Script.
chris1337 is creating a website uploading Scripts others have created (i pinged 10 creators i could find on his website) not giving any credit to the scriptcreator or the Actor. I dont know if you are fine with that, or if you dont realy care, i just thought you should know. I know from the āProblemā we had with bukkake.moe that some creators dont realy like what he is doing.
Again the same shit. Donāt ask creators to use their stuffā¦ donāt think about copyrightsā¦ about the impact to eroscripts. Just make somethingā¦ I am so happy, that the most developers here are not working like that.
@Faptap take all my scripts down immediately. And never do it again.
@sobolsdaemon1
Dude, wtfā¦ I linked to bukkake.moe and pointed out that there were problems with the advice that he should look into it. Iām guessing by the traffic this post has gotten since then that it went ignored. I donāt get why people keep doing this to you guys.
The main take-away I had with creating bukkake was that at the end of the day people will still prefer EroScripts over anything else/
Also talking to the community and implementing ways to make sure scripters/video makers got credit, e.g adding a 5 second preview if the video is hosted on PornHub so that the video author gets a view.
(while Iām not posting on ero Iām still active, Iām very active on my discord though)
Some users just use bukkake to test scripts then download from Ero (which I never wanted to appear as a competitor or anything of that matter to ero).
Iām interested to see the route this project takes.
Iām disappointed that the focus of this thread has been taken over by the topic of crediting script creators.
Iāve said this before and Iāll say it again. It is completely hypocritical that we literally share videos via MEGA amongst ourselves, link to rips and reuploads on sites like Spankbang and Pornhub, and share compilations in which the studios and actors involved donāt get a cent. Yet we expect the scripts we make to accompany these videos not to be proliferated in the same exact way. Iād bet my house that 99% of scripters have not paid for the videos they are scripting. Feels an awful lot like rules for thee and not for me.
Iām not saying chris1337 shouldnāt have credited the scripters or messaged them directly. It seems like we all agree thatās the polite thing to do here on Eroscripts. But honestly, I can tell you I personally was really surprised when I found out some people are really protective over their scripts. I donāt think itās fair of us to expect people to know that.
I feel we should celebrate people who dedicate a significant amount of time and work (building a site like this is not easy) to contribute ways for us to enjoy this hobby. The point has been made.
Thank you chris1337 for sharing. Hopefully you can easily add credits and this topic yields only a minor speedbump in your project.
Sorry friend. I didnt want to ignore you. I saw your Post and tbh it was the only reason i checked the Website for Scripts i could know. After that iā¦ Forgot your Post. Call it āHeat of the Battleā or āi am getting old and forgetfullā .
Yes, you are (at least partially) right. As i Said, i also think, that āintellectual Propertyā i Something that ist dead. I myself recut Videos without asking the Artist for permission. I know that this is ā¦ borderline illegal. But i Always Credit the Artist and Link to the original Post, If i can find one. It doesnt make it all right, but i think it makes it ābetter (?)ā. But as i also said, i dont really want to Open that discussion up again, as it will not lead to anything.
And i think that ist exactly the right way! As i Said, bukkake.moe has come a really Long way!
Thats the Reaktion i wanted to warn Chris about. I think most scripters would Not have a Problem If they get asked, but you will really get people angry If you just reup it.
Tldr: still hoping the Project grows and getās better.
It was only a couple of months ago another site did this, canāt remember what it was.
The bare minumum should be requesting the original posters permission before uploading (read - stealing) their content without a link to the creator, or original post.
You will find most creators will be fine with it, but not all, which is okay. But the creator should make the choice, not you!
@Faptap Take my scripts down until credit is given before reposting them.
Itās annoying to see some scripters angry again because ātheirā script is/was shared again without ātheirā permissionā¦
Like theyāre a king or something. Youāre just making stupid files to jerk off other guysā¦
We all steal for ourselves and all illegally share videos with each other. What is not allowed here on E.S., we do on other sitesā¦ Whoever has paid for all his software, videos, movies, music, etcā¦still has to be bornā¦
But then you will complain when your script, which only cost you some time, is shared without your permissionā¦
Thatās just hypocritical and ridiculous.
My scripts are also shared here for free on E.S., I think itās ridiculous if I had to start asking money for that, but thatās my opinionā¦
But soā¦ if my scripts are shared on other sites, I donāt care at all, Iāve shared it here for free soā¦
itās nice that itās spread even more because thatās what itās all about, helping each other and sharing.
Those who want to make money again just screw it up again in my eyesā¦
As long as no money is asked and paid scripts are not shared for free, there is nothing wrong in my opinion.
Itās a shame that there is again arguing and discussion about something that has nothing to do with the essence of E.S. which is creating and sharing scripts.
My opinion on what will happen. Just to make it clear, because it is maybe to complex for the free-share-everything-in-the-internet-hippies.
Every site that provides scripts outside from eroscripts has a big impact to this community. 99% of the users here will never make a script, a big part of the 1% scripts are not enjoyable for masses. When sites steal the scripts from here and lead the traffic away from eroscripts, less people interact with this community and will not start scripting or make anything else for the community. Why you should interact? You get everything on a silver tablet for free. This community will die a slow death, because motivation will decrease among the people who provide the real quality content here. Some people need to realise, that the number of good and active free content creators is so small, that it is almost ridiculous.
Sites like scriptaxis.com are great, they lead traffic to eroscripts. Script streamer sites are nearly useless, even if you give credit.
