THE END OF SMOKINGSWEETIES HAS COME. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Ok.. so now it works. I guess I just had trouble with my name. Perhaps I should try Guillermo.

Frankly, as your prices keep rising, it becames less motivating to buy videos. And no, I didn't download them elsewhere and didn't share them either, but still.

Didn't plan to order the last clip, but did it now, after reading your opening post on this topic.

Hey Fran, i'm not used to come to the forum so i'm just realizing now your drama. The web is full of suckers - include those who share or sell stuff that don't belong to them and those you are looking for the bargain or download it for free -. I wish Smoking Sweeties could live forever and i would like to help you some way but as you describe this is not easy task at all... You don´t deserve this and i fully understand your wish to quit. Too bad because the SF have been loosing along these years the best producers... By now SF is taken by those powerful porno groups on web that only see it as a complementary attractiveness regarding marketing concerns... In fact they don't give a shit about SF. Just because they put the girls smoking (some of them don't even inhale...) the focus still remains on boobs, pussies and dicks...
Anyway whatever you feel or decide, you must be very proud of what you have done! I believe i'm not alone thinking this way.
I've bought 49 of your videos so far and let me tell you that it was some of the best money i've spent in my life.
I still hope "something" makes you to switch back on this decision.
Best wishes!

I see a few other sites have signed up at sharestopper.com
A company who "specialize in eliminating illegal sharing of movies for the adult industry"

Might be worth a look. But they charge 100$ a month, might be worth it if it actually works.

i guess this service is not worth, and I will tell you why:
ellegant-smoking and smoking-models.com have signed with them, but I can still find tons of their videos spread around sharing sites. The pirate links download perfectly and sharestopper.com is doing nothing against.

Thanks for the advice.

Those sites put out a lot of good work. It's good to see them back in the game.

Look. I will support you. I will buy your old videos, and I will choose to not be so picky, because your stuff is great. You are the best producer on the web, and I will put my money where my mouth is. 3x2 helps me greatly. You want watch dogs? Tell me how, and I'll do it.

I look forward to your new and frequent new posts.

I have been looking for SF videos for 15 years. Yours is among the very best and among the very last. Please dont go away. I am 65 years old and I can see into the future, and it wont be good without you.

wow, i was wondering why i had not seen many releases. however i am not surprised. it truly is sad that in the tiny smoking fetish community that we have, people do not have more sense.

i am glad to hear you will release new material. and i hope people will step up and purchase, not steal these videos so we can continue to see these great smoking productions.

thanks for all your hard work over the years fran.

That would be a solution, after that you could find the guy who spread your videos ...
Hope that you could continue ...

Cheeers

You do incredible work, Fran, and I can assure you that I have NEVER 'shared' any of your video clips I've purchased. Everyone expects everything for free today - software, music, video, etc., and I've thought from Day 1 that it would be a problem for producers of just about anything.

I read about this sharestopper.com on this thread and how the owner of this site doesn't think it's worth the money, as it doesn't appear to be a very effective service.

Well, if anyone else is curious, I recommend that you run a free whois query as I did, just to see the name of the registered entity of sharestopper and smoking-models, as well as the registered address. They're the same and sharestopper was registered anew in Dec 2009. No wonder the owner of this site doesn't find it very effective, it is quite possible that sharestopper is nothing more than a front.

Don't believe it? Run the whois query, the owner hasn't privatized the whois information, which as we all know is public information unless you take steps to protect it.

Hi Fran,

I've just joined the forum because i've discoveerd the main site today. I'm happy u decided to continue because your work is fantastic and it would be a great loss for smoking lovers if you decide to stop.

I would be able to offer you some support if needed, but as a newcome i'm sure u don't mind abt me anyway, i understand.

Let me tell u i'll try to read around is there's any way to help u stop those thiefs, personally i've already scanned warez sites of my knoweldge and luckily didn't managed to spot a video of yours

Keep up with the good work.

Hi Fran!

Was away a long time in Cuba, you know.. i once reported you a theft, haven´t read the forum for a year, can´t believe there was so much around. Well somebody has to be a specialist to find them. Don´t worry too much about it. There will always be theft, but some don´t want to search all day and buy from you. So be it.

Fran you just can't do this........... Your work is so great and we love the vids. Each day/week I look to see if you have posted another Vid on the site. Even when I am abroad I check the site all the time. Pirates are always going to be around. Start a fund and I am sure a number of us will contribute - increase the price on the vids. this is the best - the very best site around. So please please reconsider. I know you are angry - that is totally understandable. While you are fighting the copyright violators you can still run a good business. I am sure your faithful supporters can club together. Please think again and we will support yoiu. Post your ideas on the site and we will all respond. Don't be beaten by these cheats and thieves. Your work is too good. I for one will pay more to help.

Irene,

No need to panic. This thread is a year old.

I think Fran long ago has found his determination to keep the site alive.
