Stolen Artwork & A Question
Added 2023-06-15 14:02:05 +0000 UTCHello everyone! I hope all is well.
So, I've been alerted to one website in particular that has been stealing my artwork and posts from Patreon. Now, obviously for GenderPlay Books to continue creating and providing content, It needs to have sources of income (such as Patreon)
Currently, the Patreon is keeping the content alive and I thank all of you lovely Patreon members for allowing this to be!
(if you are reading this from another piracy website. You should be ashamed of yourself) Stealing is not ok.
So here is my question/ Solutions. Please let me know your thoughts below. (in the vote)
Scenario One.
Artwork, Audio, and some written content are no longer posted on Patreon. (Once the videos are created using the assets. They will be posted as normal
(This would be business somewhat as normal. Just less early access for because of the risk of content being stolen)
Scenario Two
Patreon is closed down in favor of a Members section on Genderplaybooks.co.uk
Will be the same format. Early artwork/comics/audio and videos but using the website as the payment/content platform
(this would mean leaving Patreon altogether)
Scenario Three
I haven't got a third solution. Please let me know if you have any thoughts in the comments.
I really want to know what your thoughts are on this, so please share. I want to do the best I can for you supporters, but at the same time protect my content.
Comments
I can't add anything that hasn't been said. I do find it absolutely disgusting.

2023-06-17 10:30:26 +0000 UTCI did already. Thanks for letting us know.
