Porn videos & multiple names

[stealfire]

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!)

The best way to find duplicates is to compare file sizes.  There are programs that do binary compares also.. and tag the dupilcates.  One thing that drives me crazy is when there are two movies..  the exact same size.. and the same movie, but someone has editted the files so that they are not a 100% match… only 99.999% match.  Quite annoying.

@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;

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

Porn Base Central is rather comprehensive site as well:

@MasterDave:

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.

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.

This sort of stops me from sharing. I don't understand now this is happening with great frequency. I also hate torrents with 10 150k photos in them. What's the sense of posting them? Then you have torrents with thousands of photos, so much photos, it's not humanly possible to watch them all. Some of you guys are on crack. I'm sorry. Exercise a little common sense.

wish more people would put the name of the site in their description for an easier search.  just model names turns up a lot of results.  not mad at it though.

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".

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.</mein>

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 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?

This is nice

@Rudric

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

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.
