1-3 day memberships to porn sites -
03-25-2009, 11:02 AM
I've noticed that a lot of porn sites have these offers where you get a membership for like a day or a few days for only a dollar or so, like [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Is it possible to sign up for this, download everything on the site & then cancel, and basically get the whole site's content for just a dollar? Or is there some catch like that you only get access to some of the site during your preview membership & don't get the rest of it until you sign up for longer? Or that it's difficult to cancel or something?
Depends. I know of some sites they have no download limit. Some sites have a quite large download limit (like 1 to 4 Gb a day) allowing you to rip the site in a few days. Some have no downloadable zipsets of foto's which makes ripping or few-day memberships kind of a waste of time/money…
I can imagine this site has a maximum download of maybe 500 MB or something if the allow a 3 days membership for only a few bucks. But that's just a guess.

I was thinking that either it's something like that, a file size limit or something, or that you actually can download everything & they're just betting that people won't do that due to slow connections or laziness or whatever & will just keep the membership if they like the site. Which I bet would probably happen a lot. But I would just dl everything I want & then cancel if I could.
Read once that it kind of hurts pr0n sites if members do this ripping even if they payed for membership. It supposedly doesn't cover the server costs or something. Read that only once though… I always thought we hurt the business only by not paying for what was made (by copying) but we only make them pay for our downloading from their servers…

Sometimes the content available for trial members is also limited, so that you see only appetizers...
Anyways, it all boils down to the law of averages - for every member that makes a siterip another only downloads a set or two per month.

well i know videosz gives u 2 days access for $4 and it allows u 2 download evrything u want. so in theory u can get all their videos for just $4. but u need some super fast broadband 2 do dat.
