FYI a torrent doesn't equal pirated material, it's just a means of transferring data that most people use to pirate data. There are many sites that still offer their software through a torrent file.

usually used for large file sizes, to lessen the strain on whatever servers they are held on. Steam and origin for instance use torrents. When you go an download a game from them, its a torrent. It'd be insane for them to host the games in uncompressed folders.

lol, I think a lot of people will just download it watch 1/4 of it and stop watching it, then they will be happy they didn't pay for what they saw which was 1/4 low-quality tutorial. I think a lot of people never get to the joke part of it. but none the less it was a funny idea.

michael lennon the stuff the teach in the Alps or whatever isn't only useful to those areas.

Quite the opposite, in my opinion. It clearly demonstrates the paucity of their product. As a 'joke' they can make an equally good (i,e, not worth much) tutorial and one that may be more relevant to users; making the best of a mediocre target rather than an overpriced travelogue.

upon checking your store i can easily say that you bring piracy upon yourself $300 is way too expensive for most people to afford also its not stealing, its called copyright infringement (big difference)
@mwbgaming28
@mwbgaming28 6 лет назад
because stealing is different to piracy stealing = the owner loses the item (meaning there is a loss) piracy = making a copy of the item (the creator doesn't lose anything) if i instead find a way to copy that corvette, then we both have one and no harm is done

@naumen6508
@naumen6508 6 лет назад
True. I feel like there's really a gap between their vision of things and actual reality. Seriously tho, I feel like they are just full of themselves. We can clearly see that they are not doing this by passion, but for money. 300$ for a TUTORIAL that does not give you any diploma or even a sheet of approval that's recognized as legitimate ? uh uh, no no. There are free tutorials and advices, given by real photo enthusiasts out there. Fstoppers are closer to the definition of thieves than the ones who download torrents of their videos. Oh and, 6:55 "I think photographers are pretty hypocritical because [they] steal music and software and videos, and are bummed when someone uses their pictures without permission" Ummm.. again this is not stealing. this is copyright infringement. But it's actually WAY easier to make it look like you're the owner of a picture that's not yours. That's why people are bummed when it happens. These people produce something, and someone else takes it and say they took the pic... These people, unlike Fstoppers, do not charge for their work, and photographs are often behind the camera there's no way to tell who actually took the pic. I will say it again Fstoppers, you're full of yourselves.

I understand that it costs a lot of time and money to make those tutorials, but 300 dollar is just too much for most amateur photographers, so they resort to Torrents. Kinda like how most people stopped downloading movies after Netflix came arround. People are willing to pay money for legal contet, just to a certain extent.

@wild6702 6 лет назад
Torrenting, most of us do it and old men in suits pour thousands of dollars into trying to stop it , not fully understanding how the internet works and how you cannot control it's content with money. What you've done here is move away from the fellow-photography lover model and yourselves create a split like that of a business, the consumer and the producer. You have shown yourselves to be chasing the monetary value of your practices, which within itself isn't bad aslong as you're ok with the producer/consumer model. The problem arises when you attempt to relate to these people that download torrents, and create, to most, a subtle hypocritical point. If you are torrent users yourselves, shouldn't you know that people downloading the torrents do so at the risk of viruses, malware, spyware, adware, unwanted applications and other various methods to produce income for the torrent poster BECAUSE they do not have the funds available to buy your product, which you would know if you as you claim, actual torrent users. You've alienated yourselves against the people that shared your initial passion for this art, before it was all about money, money, money. I sincerely hope your consumers see you for the greedy, lying, dishonest businessmen you all are in finding pleasure and smugness in denying the interest and passion in those people trying to torrent your media.

I can understand the frustration in piracy, but I can tell you; there are a large number of people who will initially pirate it, then purchase if worth it. From movies to video games, there is a lot of crap out there. I stopped blindly buying things when I spent $60 on a video game that had maybe 20 hours of play time. $80 on a 3D modelling tutorial for 3DSMax which turned out to be poorly made with extremely low production quality that even the included example files were totally messed up. If I download material that is worth it, I buy it. This exercise is very interesting though. Just don't completely discount the "demo" and free material ideas. It helps to make an informative decision to buy. I guess you can say this mentality comes form the age of shareware, we were able to download or get our hands on a demo of a game before putting hard earned cash into it to buy it. I am inheriting an old 35mm camera with some lenses and accessories from my mother who recently passed away, so you material might come in use. From what I have seen, your tutorials are of great quality. I may just jump the shark and buy outright against my better judgement.
@JamesRichardsPlays
@JamesRichardsPlays 6 лет назад
True. Which is why I didn't come right out and just say there is NOTHING wrong with piracy. I am only saying it is worth some free material to push Identity and product confidence. I am just stating; don't discount the niche that would help push you forward. Nine Inch nails/Trent Reznor and "The Slip" Was a great example of "If you pirate this, oh well." The few of us who did download it for free ended up turning right around and purchasing the record, sometimes for more than the going rate, and helped promote and campaign NIN to stay relevant. Not all of us are "dirty, immoral pirates" Rampant and unchecked piracy is no good, a little is fine and does not destroy the bottom dollar.
@TealJosh

Very often people who pirate and just walk away, wouldn't have used money either way. So whether or not a pirated copy had been available, it wouldn't have made a difference in profits. The idea that pirated copy = lost sale is just plain wrong.
@Turtle-mz9gj
@Turtle-mz9gj 6 лет назад
With your logic, you order food and eat it. If you eat it and don't like it, you wont pay for it? That is their content, you gotta buy something if you wanna try it out. No other way around it (unless the creator provides a demo). I don't know why you try to justify stealing.

@plebiansociety

It's like the Game of Thrones business model. GoT wasn't really that big until episode 3 got released early to torrents and the regular show watchers boosted the torrent stats trying to watch it early which caused people who weren't watching to watch out of curiosity. HBO then saw a serious subscription boost afterwards from those who weren't watching before. HBO Go wouldn't even be in existence if it wasn't for torrents and the CEO of HBO has pretty stated as much. The truth is, for people who make recurring content, torrents are nothing but a boon because even if people don't buy the first, they may buy the second or the third. Singular works it can hurt, but mostly if that content only drives its' income from curiosity cash and the content is in itself not able to create word of mouth that a single watcher can not convince someone else that wouldn't have payed to pay for it. TBTH this is an incomplete video with a misleading title because they didn't show what actually happened, they just showed what they did. Did they see a boost in the sales of the previous videos? Did they see a decline in the sales of the real vid compared to the others when they were released? Those are the actually important questions. "We trolled our freeloaders and they sent some bad emails" is really, really week, especially if your trying to make the claim that torrenting is bad for creators. Off topic, but if they're charging that to viewing customers, they need to fire their sales guy. Photography videos should be partnered up to the gills to the point actually charging the viewers would be an absurdity if they have any sort of track record for viewership they can bring to the table.

These torrented files can really help increase the exposure of a product in ways no other advertising can. Many who try a product through piracy go on to later buy that product in the future. The few who are "lost sales" are kind of the cost of the advertising. The Author ,Neil Gaiman says it better with this story: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Qkyt1wXNlI.html

Honestly I have no problem paying for tutorials, however, at 300 a piece or 700 for all three it is a bit steep even for people in full time employment (if you pick all three that is half the pay cheque of a few people I know). I can think of quite a few other things 300 to 700 Euro will do for me, however, I would love if they decided to make these available using a subscription service. It makes these more accessible to not only the hobbyists but the young (who more than likely can't afford the price of entry at current), the old (same situation as the young) and everybody in between. That way they could still make their money while educating a larger audience. Just my two cents!
@karlbischof2807
@karlbischof2807 6 лет назад
The unspoken philosophy behind software pirating is: If you can afford it buy it, if you cant, but desire it then pirate it, in the end the creators of the product wont loose profit because if piracy was literally impossible to do, the consumer that couldn't afford it still wouldn't have bought the product. The real problem arises when a consumer can afford a product but pirates it instead. A reminder that in theory infinite copies of a software can be made. PS. The more people own a product, the more people will know about the product and then the more likely a person that can afford it will purchase it. It is a form of indirect marketing.

I mean.. At first I was thinking people who pirate things know where to pirate things, but an the flip side of that coin, they totally did just tell all of their viewers (many of whom do not regularly pirate things) that they can download their paid tutorials on these sites, so if they hadn't thought of it before, they are now, so I have to agree with you there.

+CfomodzGaming, though i see where you coming from and generally we are on the same page; the thing to note is that they KNOW they can not make much of a mark on the underground or piracy culture they mainly wanted to have people realise. AND (i think) THEY DID! The premise that others who did not pirate their content will now suddenly want to has got only some merit. those who do not know that torrents or downloading like that is not just violating their rights, it hurts them too.. might actually NOT do it anymore. Just my thought. I may be dreamy, but i stopped using even legit copies from friend's or office disks of OS or productivity suits almost after my teens and definitely once i could make a fair earning for myself.

WinRAR did an amazing job curving piracy. Instead of selling their software only, they opted to give them away free for trial that never expired. For home users, they don't care about the pop up asking for payment when they can just decline it but companies will be willing to buy the licenses to avoid legal issue. This pretty much eliminated piracy of WinRAR software.

This is why there are specific uploaders that become popular and so if you see a torrent with 0 seeders you won't click. If someone downloaded it they'd immediately see it's wrong and the only way they can seed is by having it fully downloaded, so good luck having a torrent at the bottom of the bin sorry had to ruin it

I get the joke. For me as a photographer, I use free tutorials. I don't use any file sharing service such as Vuze or BitTorrent. I used that for music once upon a time but for photography courses, no. And because of the free content, my knowledge of lighting and photography has increased ten fold. But I don't disparage anyone for trying to make money. FStoppers is a business. A fun business but a business, nonetheless. If I felt I could afford to go for paid tutorials, I'd probably buy Phlearn's tutorials. Mr. Nace's style is easy to understand and he seems to really enjoy what he does (judging by the free content he releases). This is not a knock on you guys. I think you guys are awesome, traveling to exotic locals, being able to get some unique photos. But I also think that there is a niche for basic photography and as value to me is the stuff you do local locally (i.e. Patrick's trip to the Park and his photo adventures in Charleston during a measurable snow a few months ago). I don't know exactly my point of my comment but it may be agreeing with you all on the paid content but arguing for truncated free content at times as well.

Thanks Ron. We try to do a mix of content for sure. It's easy for us to produce intro to photography type content for Free on youtube but once we team up with photographers who are making good money day in and day out, we really need to charge for it to cover their time, our time, the production costs, etc etc. So yes, you can learn a ton of info from free videos online but most of the top photographers who are making a good living at photography aren't sharing their tips and secrets for free on youtube. Thanks for enjoying my snow shoot by the way - Patrick

I think there is one slight difference that they didn't make clear is that there is a significant difference between torrenting/stealing to consume YOURSELF vs torrenting/stealing to CLAIM AS YOUR OWN. They are saying if that is the same thing. It is different to say I downloaded a movie to watch vs i downloaded your video and released it in the public's eyes so I can make money off of it or saying that it is my own content. Is pirating wrong? Absolutely, because if you truly enjoy someone's content, you should pay to support that artist. But what if someone doesn't have that luxury? What if say a 12 year old kid who picked up his father's camera, found a passion in it, and wanted to learn more? Now Im in no way saying that everyone who pirates your tutorials are 12yr old kids or ppl that can't afford it, but the fact is. You have possibly changed one single person's life tremendously because of pirating. Or you have GAINED fans because people before didn't trust the quality of your content but once they torrented one of them, they now support you and bought your tutorials. There may be someone who is spreading your name because they once torrented your video and found you informative. The truth of the matter is, if that person was going to pirate it, chances are, they would've never bought it in the first place. Despite how terrible pirating is made out to be. Sometimes there are benefits that may exceed your expectations

Kémy perfectly legit approach. There is plenty of ad-funded (free to view) content out there, and that is more than you'll ever need. For me I love getting in depth and immersed in learning - and for that I'm happy to pay - either subscription service or tutorials like these.
@minimalifecoach
@minimalifecoach 6 лет назад
It's like everything, you get what you pay for. When you pay 300$ for a tutorial, you are investing in your education, it's not about the 15 hours of video. it's about the value, and the value is about what you feel it can bring to you, and how it can lead you to grow into what you would like to become. 15 hours of tutorial, 300$ = 20$ an hour, access to resources, private groups, interactions, meeting new people, connecting with peers around the world, and reviewing it over and over again, offline, from your phone, or wherever, and taking notes, practicing etc. You are right @Kémy there are free tutorials ad-funded on RU-vid, and free as in legally free which is great, and many are really valuable too. It's just another approach and I can say for having purchased a few from Fstoppers and RGGEDU, that each one, and the 300$ invested, has brought me a minimum of 1 or 2 key elements which have earned me 10 times more either in time gained (time charged to the client or spent with my family), or improved workflow.

What you see as hypocrisy is perfectly justified: Artists are typically barely scraping a living so if people use their content without permission it really screws them over, and they certainly can't afford overpriced tutorials and software. Whereas the people who make those tutorials are, at least in your case, wealthy enough to visit many of the most beautiful locations in the world. As for companies that make software, they typically have money coming out of their ears. I'm not a disgruntled pirate photographer, but it does annoy me when I see wealthy people whining that people aren't forking out money for their overseas trips. The people you're complaining about are probably freelancers, and if you think you're getting a bad deal then they're getting a faceful of excrement. At best, freelancers are paid less than a hired worker would get, at worst their employer refuses to pay them for work they've already done.

Any real artist can find beauty anywhere. Even at an Olive Garden with puddle full of trash. Like you can interrupt that the trash is a man made object defiling nature’s life essence! While the reflection of the Olive Garden also represents the amount humanity has tainted! But no they see it as a “joke to give a full REAL lesson about”....this video is a “I’m a victim because I spend personal money to go around the world and you guys won’t buy my videos for a huge amount of money that’s meant to teach amateurs, when you could get it for free”

But when you want to learn a skill and you're broke as a joke, what can you do? Doesn't make pirating right, but I'm pretty sure many people out there would agree.

@Darticus the Great It's not a "paying job" unless someone is willing to pay them for it.

@SupLuiKir
@SupLuiKir 6 лет назад
Your business model is flawed and you are blaming the consumers? I guess I have to point out reality: data that can be endlessly copied at no cost does not have value because it is not scarce. The business models of the old world are not compatible with the internet. Perhaps you should switch to a pay-what-you-want model and rely on extremely dedicated whales to support your work. If that means that you can't get enough money to support yourselves, then what you were offering wasn't worth that price and you should look to reinvent yourselves or get a real job. It does look like you'd be able to survive or even thrive a switch of business model, because if you look at what you'e got right now in a different light, it means there are people that love what you do and want to support you to get more content, to an extent that they spend money on your website, when it would've been far easier and cheaper for them to find it on thepiratebay instead. In essence, it means they are already donating to you. Viewing it as them buying your content is just the wrong paradigm. This video is the first time I've heard of you, but it seems pretty clear that the demand is there.
@FStoppers
@FStoppers 6 лет назад
Doesn't paying for the digital content you want go completely against your first statement that data that can be simply copied should be free? Do you think people should pay for software? What about movies?
@SupLuiKir
@SupLuiKir 6 лет назад
1) I'm saying you can't force people to not simply copy data. Instead of trapping yourself in an infinite loop of trying to punish pirates, what I think you should really be doing is adjusting how you do things so as to make it so piracy can't affect you, or even better, to use it to your advantage. 2 and 3) Thinking of software with that paradigm is what's causing the issue with piracy. Perhaps the better questions is "Do you think people should pay for the continued development of your software or your next project?" Are you getting enough from the supporters of your previous project to fund the next? If so, then by all means, continue onwards. If not, look at what else you can do to support yourself. I think having a forward-facing attitude is better for sustaining and growing your digital content creation business. The typical way is past-facing and focuses on protecting what you've already done, which means resources spent (time, effort, money, etc) with marginal or negative returns that would be better used working on the next thing. Then again, most of this is just philosophical musings, It's up to you whether to take it to heart, or if it can be successfully translated into reality.
@WideWorldOfWisdom
@WideWorldOfWisdom 6 лет назад
@Fstoppers To add to @· 0xFFF1 and to answer your question directly, no, paying for digital content you wish to pay for doesn't go against the notion that data which is available should be freely available. There are plenty of examples of people paying for things they could get for free. A lot of the time, this is called a "donation." Patreon is a modern example of consumers patronizing creators for work they could often easily get for free. (Even when content or rewards are made available exclusively to paying patrons, these are often quite modest and worth less than what the patrons are giving.) Ultimately, · 0xFFF1 is right, price is determined by supply and demand, and the less scarce something is the less of a price it will be able to command. The notion that a person should be able to artificially limit the supply of something (i.e. forcibly prevent other people from duplicating it using their own materials) is a regressive philosophy, not a progressive one. Ideas and patterns are not property, copying isn't theft, and attempting to maintain a 19th century business model in the digital age is shortsighted, to say the least.
@oh-totoro
@oh-totoro 6 лет назад
I get that it cost you a LOT of your own time, money and hard work to produce these tutorials, but $300 is just so much money. Would you not get vastly more revenue by making these tutorials significantly cheaper? And by that, I mean regular DVD/Blu Ray prices. I can never fathom why photographers always have to make these so prohibitively expensive, as proven by the fact they usually end up offering ridiculous sales of 50% or more at some point. You have 17 tutorials! Do you think we're all millionaires or something?
@oh-totoro
@oh-totoro 6 лет назад
To add to the above. You did an experiment torrenting a fake tutorial. Why don't you try making a real tutorial with Elia, where he goes to just one location, explains the setup, shot, etc, and sell that for just $20 or something, and see how many more sales you get from that? Maybe you would actually earn more?

There are usually two things that tend to be an issue when looking for legitimate material like tutorials, software, etc. The first is knowing what you're getting. If I encounter something for the first time and am asked to pay for it, I'd like to know it's gonna be worth it. Having some sort of preview helps in that regard. The second is often a lack of concern for entry level - what happens if I want to eventually get into a more professional job, but am currently working at a Walmart? It can be difficult sometimes to get together a large sum of money. Some of the more sensible places will offer different price points, but that's not always the case.

Possibly a Hellcat, sure. But that color is definitely offered on packages as low as R/T.

Isn't photography basically just piracy? What's the difference between making a copy of a movie, or taking a picture of something you didn't make, and then selling it as your own work?

Rhys Panopio - it is not illegal to photograph the lights under fair use, but to profit from this photograph. Learn the difference people god dammit..

As someone who has spent hours designing 3D digital models, yes it is very irritating when someone steals my work. And it is even more so irritating when people contact me, asking for a full permissions copy of my work while claiming someone they know got a full permissions copy of my work. And a lot of that is often due to people making the assumption of content being released under a General public license or being submitted as Public Domain Licensed work when it is not. And the problem you are describing is not something limited to photography work, music or gaming content as it also extends in to registered trade marks such as Harley Davidson, Coke Cola, Pepsi, Gucci, Ford, Chevy, GMC, Dodge and even apple iPhone and small companies like Fore Arm Forklift and it is putting people out of business.

If you torrented your own content, then it was a Legal Torrent! (Gosh! Legal content on Bittorrent!) You just proved not everything downloaded as a torrent is "pirated" or "illegal." Just like for VCRs, there are legal uses for Bittorrent transfers.

A Floyd that wasn’t their point, they’re talking about actual piracy, of something they put up to be sold but got stolen.

Same thing happened with some video games. They put obvious glitches in their pirated version, and the people who complained about the glitched outted themselves as pirates.

FFS are people really arguing and defending stealing their work? It's their work, their tutorials. They put the price they want to. You are not happy about the price? Look for someones else tutorials. But don't pirate their work and come here and start defending piracy....
