Warning: Club Q vids now with anti-piracy captions
I just bought the latest from the "Boko" series (Vol 240) and to my dismay found that they now have huge captions at the top and bottom of screen, throughout the entire video, as an anti-piracy measure. I sent email to make sure that this isn't a defect/mistake and the guy confirmed that this is as it is meant to be. He also said he'd "consider" making the captions smaller but they are basically here to stay. I sent him back my thoughts in no uncertain terms. I have bought more than 35 of his videos over the years but this would be my last if he continues with this BS. I'm sure most customers would be OK with even the large size captions as long as they only appear for a few seconds three or four times during the videos but constant is too much and really degrades the experience.

Re: Warning: Club Q vids now with anti-piracy captions
Wow, that's a really big caption there.
Btw, that's not the first time I see that in Japanese productions. I can't recall where, but I'm sure I have seen huge captions all across the video for long periods of time.

Re: Warning: Club Q vids now with anti-piracy captions
I'm sorry for you @[Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] ...
I don't even understand this choice as it won't even slow down the piracy ... You can easily add a blackrectangle to hide this watermark and change metadatas ... I'm not a regular customer of club-q but I would be if they had a dowload store or at least sell vod on R18. The thing is, the only way I can get club-q's material is the piracy itself and even with piracy I have not so much choice !! I mean there is something like twenty or so videos from them around the internet, this is a very small number compared to the hundreds of dvds they are producing... |

Re: Warning: Club Q vids now with anti-piracy captions
A very clumsy antipiracy measure. Pissing off the customers who are actually willing to pay is not a good way to grow your business, especially since it'd be so easy to blur that out.
A slightly more clever way to do it (if you were still OK with pissing off customers) would be to have the ID number visible only intermittently. Say, one or two seconds every couple of minutes. You could put it in the middle of the screen (it need not be that large) for that one or two seconds. It would still annoy the customers though. Ultimately, I'm never that surprised when a Japanese fetish content producer has some backwards ideas about how to conduct business, though. It's always seemed that they were leaving money on the table by making their content difficult to acquire outside of Japan, or with unusual pricing, etc. |

That's a pretty ugly watermark for sure.

Re: Warning: Club Q vids now with anti-piracy captions
I imagine that the "personal number" is a hoax. Is there even a technology to embed a different number in each copy? And if there is, how does this help? One can buy the DVDs in any number of shops without identifying oneself so what then? And as Valigar says, you can of course black out that number with editing software before uploading. It is really stupid. I totally understand that producers are angry about piracy. But how does pissing off your paying customers fix the piracy issue?
Valigar, there is a somewhat similar product available on C4S. Look for "Faceslap Japan". I think this is done by a guy who used to be an actor in many of the Club Q vids (and occasionally reappears in newer ones as well.) Last edited by leo_severin; 23-Nov-15 at 04:32. |

I haven't had very good experiences with them at all.
