You have 0 downloads remaining in this time period (144 hours) :/

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

nothing changed for 99.99% of users

That just means there's LESS of a reason to change it.

Regardless of one's stance on this and whether it is fair, that is on principle a terrible argument and there's countless examples why "It doesn't effect the 99.99%" is a terrible argument. And when there are problems, you make exceptions for the 0.01%.

And again, lifetime subs aren't ransacking your site and taking off with an unfair amount of videos and cancelling their subscription.

Rakly3 Those sites don't have 25,000 or so scenes. You can download their whole library with 150 downloads or less.

So there's even less reason to reduce the downloads, because SLR has so many scenes, that even 30 downloads per 72 hours wouldn't allow someone to leech everything with a single month subscription. It would take years, if you even can keep up with the new releases.

I understand why VRBangers and other studio sites use limits (still not as low as yours), because it prevents users from easily downloading everything within one month, with very little reason to keep the subscription after that.

SLR is the last site that has that risk and is/was considered a baseline subscription by many. If there are still users doing it, you won't stop them with that new limit - cheap skates like that will just masturbate to the same scenes twice as much or switch to piracy.

ThePointyEnd That just means there's LESS of a reason to change it.

0.01% of accounts download hundreds of times more than the other 99.99% together.
Even with the new limit in place, this is true.

Anyway, you're assuming to know the reasons for the change.

Users on here wouldn't appreciate a lecture on this topic. Language matters. You don't want users creating mash-ups with large extracts of your footage. I'd find clearer language given the context.

Note: 'Fair Use' not 'Fair Dealing'

100+ GB files is an insane luxury for a very limited number of users (right? stats?) given the present state of technology/

If bandwidth is the issue, it would be smarter to limit those large files than implement universal policy.

Count them as 10 files... The ones above, say, 75 GB.

BTW the idea of fair use is not to have any hard limit at all.

Fair use means that you are expected to be under a certain limit in the long term. If you occasionally exceed the limit nothing happens at all.
If you regularly exceed the limit, you get a warning.
Depending on the exact policy you might get a second or third warning, and finally if you ignore them you get the access to the service you used more then you should suspended.

A hard limit is just the opposite of fair use. It is a part of a contract that says you pay X amount and for this you get the service for Y amount. Of course there is nothing generally wrong with that, as long as you do not suddenly change already sealed contracts.

rerun119 stoking war against Russia

You know your society is fucked when a love for peace is likened to right-wing nuttery. The peace deal stalled when U.S. politicians insisted that Ukraine keep the right to join NATO. I'm certainly not right-wing. It's just that I read and don't like war and death. Not that this has anything to do with the topic at hand, other than the reality that with billions going to finance a state-sponsored expansionist agenda companies -- all companies including porn makers -- can't offer as much. This is not to excuse the unexpected, possibly illegal change in terms here, just to observe the underlying causes.

TemporaryName When am I getting my 50% refund?

If you complain immediately to EPOCH and provide a screen capture of the changed terms, they will cancel your payment and account within a few days. They will calculate a proportionate refund based on when that happens.

But I'd recommend staying on here. The content is exclusive and the site remains better than the competitor POVR.
