I've noticed that some vintage Falcon Studio vids are also released by Bijou Studios.  (I'm curious as to the connection. Are both studios owned by the same company and the dual or second release a way of increasing profits? Was the video rights purchased? Did the original production company split up? Does anyone know? I'm just curious like that!)

Back in them dar olden days, Bijou was the biggest distributor in North America of gay porn.

Porn studios (like Falcon and countless others) would use Bijou to distribute porn across North America.

Not only was Bijou a distributor, it was also a studio.

It's an unprotected link, isn't that a bit unsafe?

The last time I tried uploading a movie I checked for the title and the actors through the site.  I got dinged since it had been uploaded under another name with none of the actors listed.  That will be the last time I try uploading a movie.

I don't think the mods here would actually penalize you in that situation if you gave that explanation since you were acting in good faith and even checked before uploading.  It would be difficult to avoid that situation unless you knew every name that a film had been released under.  Even then, I frequently see misspellings in the titles of the torrents here.

I even see clips uploaded with only a generic title such as "two HOT guys facking" and no further description or information when it is a clip from a well-known studio with well-known actors and an official title.  What are you supposed to do in that situation?

I never understood this! What the fuck do people get out of doing this? Misleading people unnecessarily?

A lot of it is done by the companies.  Non-English titles get renamed in some very strange ways.  ie <<mein schweigertochter="" ist="" ein="" mann="">> which translates as "My Daughter-in-law is a Man" was renamed "All You Need is Love."  Les Minets Sauvage by Cadinot was sold in English as Tough and Tender rather than "The Wild Twinks".

One English title got changed because of a pedophile panic:  "Brian's Boys" became "Brian's Men".

Ahhh Ok… I haven't thought about that. But, I can understand if the site uses IMDB, or sites similar like it. I guess gaytorrents.ru has special code to look for those things. I guess if you're on a tracker that's been around a while, it knows exactly what to avoid.

I never understood this! What the fuck do people get out of doing this? Misleading people unnecessarily? I used to think that maybe people try to deceive the public in order to try and boost their ratio. But this behavior is really pointless, and people who are caught doing that should be banned. All this does is make it that much more difficult for the tracker to comply with the copyright holder; and problems for the user downloading stuff they already have!

Its especially bad because before uploading you are meant to do a search to make sure there is no duplicate, but some numbskull uploads the content using a completely different name so you don’t find it in the searches. Like that person who keeps uploading “All Australian Boys” content as “Teen Boy Models” even though 90% of the actors aren’t teens, and AAB has never used that name.

You also need to watch out for the videos directed by Stephane Moussu for Clair Production.  Many of them wind up being released under other names by other labels.  For example, "Coups de Foudre" is also "Holy Twinks" and "Latvian Lust"; "Boules de Neige" is also "Lust Winter" and "Bareback in the Snow".  The list goes on and on.

@raphjd:

Please be aware that many of the videos have multiple names due to them having multiple distributors.

Here are a few examples;

Allez les bleus!
aka: Screw Balls
aka: Kicker = Ficker
aka: Soccer Fuckers
aka: They Came From Behind

Bains douches
aka: Bareback Sauna
aka: Cum Inside: Bareback Members Only

Le Gland bleu: Deep Down Under
aka: Divers Go Down
aka: Diving Lagoon
aka: Plunged: Deep Down Under

Hard Sex
aka: Down on Your Knees: Forbidden Desire
aka: Leather Muscle Studs

Internat
aka: Dirty School Boys
aka: Further Education

I just found this out because I was sorting through my porn collection and found a lot of duplicates.

Here's a great place to find out if you have any duplicates;

Most prolly know that http://www.gayeroticvideoindex.com is a good place to find info about films. Large catalog.

I second this one! Especially good at linking titles or performers with multiple names, with a minimalist interface.

Jeffery Radden
(aka: Jeffrey Radden, Jeffry, Tommy Hansen, Tony, Al)
"Tall dark and totally handsome, Jeffery is a new Eurocreme exclusive and is shooting himself to fame with his gorgeous dark looks and a body like an Adonis!! His great cock will make your mouth water as soon as it comes into view and yours will always rise to the occasion when he’s around!!" - Eurocreme

• Hair: Brown

• Eyes: Brown

• Body Type: Swimmers

• Position: Versatile

• Cock: 7" Uncut

I just noted that Raw Entry Club (famous for rereleasing other studio's videos with new names) has released "Artem's Bareback Friends."  The cover shows "Jeffrey Radden" (his Eurocreme name) who is identified as "Tony" (his name when working with Dolphin).  It also shows a boy identified as "Martish" who is also a Dolphin model.  This leads me to believe that this video is yet another rerelease, this time of a Dolphin video.  Anyone have any idea if this is correct and, if so, which Dolphin video it might be?  Thanks!

I recently seeded that video.  I think it's a compilation of scenes from several other videos, although none of them look familiar to me.  When I wrote up the description, I used the name "Jeffrey Radden" instead of "Tony" (as he's billed in the credits) because I thought more people would recognize him by that name.  (I also thing he's about the hottest thing on screen, but that's another topic.)
