doublevr Policy update affects less than 1% of users. Something we want to get fixed as it creates more harm than it does good.

Then why even bother with the hassle of changing it?
If it is smaller then 1% of users then the possible savings never ever can outweigh the trouble you put yourself in by changing the contract one sided which is very questionable if it is even legal at all.

    doublevr well you now have by far the most restrictive download limit of any vr porn site... using the "fair use" excuse doesnt fly. time to buy more bandwidth or fix your servers instead of imposing tighter limits.

    As a long time sub why not limit the new accounts that sub and drop every month from leaching the site and allow long time subs to download more?

    I'd avoid that expression "Fair Use" unless you want to give pirates a loophole. "Fair Use" has a very specific and clearly defined meaning in American law. Nelson v Tenenbaum defined file sharing as "not fair use". Fair Use internationally, for copyright purposes, means that the creative product can be shared freely for non-profit purposes. One example of non-profit sharing is torrenting, which certainly isn't what you'd want to encourage (I'd imagine) as typical "fair use".

      I'm feeling very sad...

      It's like buying a car and manufacturer promises certain equipment and horsepower (and range, if it is electric car)...
      and when you get the car, you realize that you only get half of the promised features. 🙁

      My primary way of watching videos is download and DNLA, because it is not always possible to use a fast internet connection.

      You must understand, that Your customers are living all over the world...
      There are different kind of infrastructures in internet.
      You know, we all are not living middle of the urban cities like Los Angeles. 😉

      So, please please please, go back to the way it was.
      (Or at least release the restrictions of some clients, like me.)

      No it doesn't.

        someoneX Those sites don't have 25,000 or so scenes. You can download their whole library with 150 downloads or less.

          [deleted] Fair Use internationally, for copyright purposes, means that the creative product can be shared freely for non-profit purposes.

          That's fair use of copyrighted material in your own commercial content. ie music and video. We are talking about fair use of the network. This is why many other sites don't even allow the usage of download managers because it slows down the speed for other users.

          NAVR banned me 2 days after getting an annual subscription with them for this reason. I couldn't even access the site to cancel my subscription, and through carelessness on my part, even got billed again a year later.

          [deleted] Change the Studio File options from 150 GB to 40 GB. I've never downloaded anything above 40 GB and am not alone.

          Then it's not the studio file
          The studio files are lossless (not RAW)

            So will you be offering refunds for lifetime subscriptions since you are altering the plan for instance? (9999 months - 4 months used = refund of 99.999599959996% of my membership payment) it shouldn’t matter to SLR I used less than 1%

            I for one am a student and cant afford to pay monthly for this site, so once a year I sub for a month and download videos for later.
            So I might get close to the monthly limit but over the duration of one year I dont cause more traffic than the average user. A few weeks ago I bought another monthly subscribtion expecting to get just that, but now you just change it without a warning or transition period? Thats just not fair!
            I get that with this kind of usage I am not the ideal kind of customer for you, but I am a customer none the less. I understand that you want to reduce the amount of downloads and that is totally debateable, but doing it like this is very unprofessional.

            The halving of the quota is unfortunate. And it's not helped by there not being any easy way to tell when your time period is up, because the website doesn't tell you how much time you have left until you're down to the last three movies, and only if you try to download something. The current message on the downloads tab of any movie says something like:

            You have 12 downloads remaining in this time period (144 hours).

            The mentioning of 144 hours is pointless, because it's already stated in the fair use policy the line above. I'd much rather have some useful information about the current time remaining if there's an active time period, something like:

            You have 12 downloads remaining in this time period (57 hours until reset).

              That would be a good idea, so we can exactly know how much time left until reset

              ibins That SLR is not simply kicking those super heavy users out is fair. As others may have stated here, sites like SLR that pay to produce and license content don't make pure profits and thus need some restrictions in place. I would be thankful that SLR offers downloads for a lot of its content as more and more sites are disabling them or moving them to a tiered plan. One big network of sites I know recently made it so subscriptions are streaming-only with downloads only being available on a PPD basis--something I believe SLR had in the past but in order to keep 99.9% of users happy, has mostly deprecated for an excellent (again, for 99.9% of users) Premium experience.
