Bears Where is Bear Clips?

[Runewell]

Damn, the thread-nappers strike again!!! Twice in, like, three nights!

Truly a tragedy. Thanks Prince, Jocko, Xenarthra, and all the other guys who contributed...

Why do I feel like my dick and balls were taken away from me, no warning message no Private Message saying "Brandon we deleted your thread so we could review the copyrighted material" most of the stuff I put up wasn't even copyrighted like the old men videos that were done by a damn video camera no special producer like BearFilms.

I knew this would happen sooner or later. Oh well, hopefully they did the same in the twink forum, if not then I already know what this means.

I cant believe this.
This is simply shamefull.
Thanks, Barndon, Prince, Jocko and the kind souls who shared a lot of videos with all of us. Much appreciated.

...The Mods received a post report...

Regretfully, in this day and age A single bitch about just about anything
results in "presumed guilty" and one must "prove their innocence" FIRST.

With hopes that this fizzles to nothing,
I post my unsolicited opinion:

I can only guess that if someone complained that JUB is objectionable
in it's entirety, the powers to be wouldn't kill the entire site until the
complaint has been fully investigated...

I would think that it should be incumbent upon the complainant to provide
positive proof that a specific post or posts are objectionable, illegal, etc.
Then, and only then, a moderator should remove only those post(s).
NOT a wholesale removal of an entire thread.

Anyway, that's how it would work if I were Emperor of the World. lol

In the meantime, visit the blogs,
learn well how to use search engines and other sources,
and network with others "man-to-man".
You wont miss a beat.

DANG! Valhummer's is gone too as of today!

Well, I think that any message board or blog site says that you can't post copyrighted material for distribution, so it's just a matter of time before it all goes away.

I think it is probably JUB's concern to make sure that they don't have anyone coming after them for aiding in the distribution of copyrighted materials or something like that. I know a lot of production companies and paysites don't like having their stuff distributed around for free. And I can understand that. They work hard to make the stuff and they want to get their money for it. I read somewhere on the internet that supposedly TitanMedia and Colt Studios are very big on going after people who distribute their videos around on the net for free. They don't like it. And I can see why, in some respects. But I also realize that it can be difficult for some people to get to see movies any other way. I own a few Titan movies but they are pricey and I don't think the average person can afford to buy them on a regular basis. I bought some because I could afford to at the time but at $50-60 dollars for one movie that is rather expensive, even for a single gay guy.

I don't think it is much different than the situation with music. I found out once that the cost to make a CD is around $1.00. The rest of the $13.00 and up that you pay for that CD goes to pay the songwriters, the producers, the artist, etc. Personally, I think CD's are a bit pricey still and that more people would buy them instead of getting music off the net for free if they weren't quite so much. But that's another topic. So to my point...

I say all that not to say that you should stop getting all this free porn and start paying for it. I was enjoying some of the movies being posted in that thread but I also understand the site wanting to protect themselves. I assume most of the movies were not home movies and were copyrighted even if they didn't say so in the clip. I actually have been coming here ever since this site first started (I remember when it was linkmeallover.com before this) but I hadn't been here recently until I went looking for some new bear movies to watch and came across this thread from a Google search. I decided to join while I was checking the thread out and thought about submitting some of my own clips. But I won't turn around and leave just because of this. There are plenty of other things to do here as well, and also, they still have one of the best free directories for gay pics that you'll ever find in my opinion. I thought about mentioning a little about my attempts to find vids/clips of bears/chubs/etc. on the net using p2p/torrent programs and newsgroups and the like but that would probably take too long. I have already written more than I thought I would. It does seem sometimes like everywhere you turn there are muscle and twink vids galore but bearish ones not so much. But maybe I should just write a blog about my searches. What worked best/didn't work well or at all, etc. Does that sound like a good idea?

Anyways, like someone else mentioned before, you can find vids and clips on the net it just takes some perseverance and working at it. I guess it all boils down to the "As long as no one complains, we won't do anything" situation. It might be interesting to know who it was that said something and why, but I don't know what knowing would do. Anyways, that's my 2 cents worth, as they say.

 

[BrandonSBCA]

If people want clips so bad Torrents are the first things a person should study up on, it's really an easy thing to do once you do it a couple of times.

 

[Midnight-Blue]

Well, I thought about it a lot today as to all the things I tried to find good porn ever since I got on the net in 1997. I think I can hopefully write something that doesn't take more than an hour or two and hopefully save some people the trouble of trial and error. I've had that done for me a few times by reading about other people's experiences on the net about things. Torrents are pretty good from what I have seen so far but I've only been using them about 8 months or so. But I've gotten pretty good with them I think. Anyway, I'm new to blogging but hopefully I can write something without being too technical for newbies. Anyways, you can check for it in couple of hours and I think I'll be done. And if you read anything you don't understand, feel free to send me a message and ask for more information. I don't mind.

Thanks for this Midnight Blue.

omg i have been away for 3 weeks or so and the thread is gone!
that reeks how mean man i hate the person who dleted it!

BTW guys - these threads (obviously someone moved the Daddies one as well) HAVEN'T been deleted.

They have been moved out of public sight into the Mod Forum, because of concerns that there are a good number of those clips that contravene the JUB CoC (ie, full length clips from paysites etc) and the possibility of legal implications for JUB if the companies who own them should wish to pursue this.

In order to see if the threads can be restored, they are going to have to be checked, and any 'illegal' content removed.

Given the number of pages on both those threads, this could obviously take quite a long time (and we aren't even sure who, if anyone, is going to be able to do it at this stage).

Just as a reminder, this is Point #20 in the JUB CoC (if everyone actually followed the rules there wouldn't be a problem!):
Do not share, ask to share, or link to Bit Torrent files or other pirated videos. It is not OK under any circumstance to share videos from any membership site that normally requires a fee to view the videos. This is expressly prohibited. This includes links to ********** and similar services that exist to infringe on copyrights.
