We pirate movies, games and songs that are made by workers who would undoubtedly make more money if we had bought them instead. Nevertheless we justify piracy by saying that intellectual property is unjust and exploitative.

So wouldn't the same logic apply to OnlyFans? There is currently a movement where people are subscribing to OnlyFans, uploading all the content on porn sites and then unsubscribing. I'm seeing this get criticized, but it's the same things as piracy right? Those who do want to pay will pay, while those who pirate are those who never would have paid in the first place.

    More likely the sex worker will get found by people they know. There’s no shame and discrimination given towards actours the way there is towards sex workers, so spreading that to places they don’t want it to be is harmful. Also millionaire actours not getting full royalties from pirating isn’t the same as fucking over sex workers who likely don’t even WANT to be posting stuff.

    Also like. If it was naked pics/vids of you, would you want them to be spread further than intended? It’s an issue of consent at the core.

      Also, not sure if OnlyFans has the feature specifically, but a few camming sites allow you to not let viewers from certain states watch or ban specific IP addresses. Allows the sex worker to less likely be exposed. That ability is taken away if someone is spreading them elsewhere.

          Ah I see. OnlyFans seems to be one of the shittier camming websites despite its popularity.

      If you post something on the internet for public access, it is implicit that the entire world can access it. Also the people losing from piracy are not millionaire actors, but the underpaid game-devs, film crew, artists etc.

        I hope you never find yourself needing to be in a work field where doxxing, rape, or murder is almost an inevitably, but perhaps if you lived through sex workers’ experiences, you’d be a lot more empathetic and not say sex workers are put on a ‘pedestal’ when these underpaid film crews aren’t going to be murdered because of people dehumanizing them and their work (much like this thread does).

        I almost hope this thread is bait and not a genuine belief.
