2 Grooby Girls Magazine 3 Editor’s LETTER 003 e’ve been on a bit of a hiatus on the magazine as we’ve had a lot going on in the first part of 2019, especially with the TEA’s which was our largest and most successful to date. We also wrapped up our tenure as editorial content providers Wfor Transformation - and will be bringing what we learned there, to this magazine with new interviews and features. The main focus of this magazine is to talk directly Layout: Dev Grooby. and Kristel Penn. Editors: Steven Grooby Publication Date: June 20, 2019. to the many models who’ve worked with us - or want to work with us, as well as other models who work within the trans industry. The magazine is to educate, entertain, inform and also for us to learn from you, about how we can further the industry and work together better. Those reading this who are supporters (and in that, I mean you pay for site memberships or downloads) are welcome to join in and observe a little more depth about how we run our business and our goals for the coming years. We’re always looking for features, whether in ideas or editorials written by those in the industry and who may have a point or perspective they wish to share - please contact us at [email protected] with details. We aim to have a new magazine every 2 months - and to remain more current, so make sure you keep this bookmarked.

Yet there is nothing so disheartening to have spent time and money on your own scenes only to find them posted for free the same day. o those who Those of you who do buy - pay an affiliate, they make 50% aren’t producers THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

From that if we have to months. 8 Grooby Girls Magazine 3 Grooby Girls Magazine 3 9 Let’s look at the different types of piracy and how to deal with them. Mmmmmm... I crave ass meats. The Bum Bandit This is your mega-fan who never (or rarely) pays for porn, but thinks it’s his right to collect every scene and then post it for free on Twitter or tube sites as long as his (false) name is posted with it. He’s in it for the glory, for the ego, for the adoration of people who thank him for it. Truth is, it’s all he’s got going for him - and he probably sits at home dreaming of actually being useful. Before you slap these too hard, try and engage with them and see if they can keep your stuff off - or just post what you ask them to? They may have a lot of followers, or promote you for free - you may be the only friend they have - they may become a mega supporter. If they refuse, then just go ahead and DMCA everything. Bookmark them, check them daily and tell all your friends. Social Media Sluts Similar to the Bum Bandit but more interested in getting Twitter followers, these aren’t as harmless as you might think. There is a circle jerk of Twitter accounts which copy and upload your content - tagging each other and maybe tagging you. Do not retweet or like. You’re only helping them gain followers which they’re then going to use to try and promote cam or dating companies. They’re not your friends, they’re a business and they care nothing about your content. Luckily, Twitter will delete them and we’ve had some very big accounts removed over the last year. We message them and give them one chance, if they still abuse the content - they’re gone. 10 Grooby Girls Magazine 3 Grooby Girls Magazine 3 11 The ‘Legal’ Vulture Sometimes you have to dance with the devil, and despite companies like XHamster, Pornhub and other tube companies having stolen content and continuing to do so for years, they also abide by DMCA rules (some even giving us backend access to remove ourselves) and in the case of the two mentioned, we can make money off their premium channels. Given the amount of traffic they have, a little promo- tion can also be gained. Don’t let them show your content for free (remember some user has upload- ed it, so shutting them down after they’ve spent their time uploading, may discourage them from your content) but also consider ways you may be able to profit. The Thieving Cunt This is your money making pirate. They don’t give a shit about you, your content, trans rights, women’s right or any rights. They deserve nothing less than a bullet in the head or a slow castration. They hide their domains and contact details, the claim to abide by DMCA (but they rarely do). Even when they do remove the links you’ve sent, they don’t remove the content and just rename it. They make their money by advertising (you can thank LiveJasmin, Cam4, Chaturbate for paying for advertising on their sites while showing your stolen content). 12 Grooby Girls Magazine 3 All your content has a value. If you are a model with us, or If you’re a cam girl, you don’t have licensed your content to need your recorded cams being T.porn, then we will automatical- shown for free, if you’re a solo ly try and DMCA your personal producer you don’t want your content when we can if you content there - and if you’re a email us at ‘[email protected]’ performer only, then ask the with the subject line “Please productions companies who DMCA My Content”, we will aren’t aggressive on piracy, why send you back a form to com- not?
