Stolen Patreon work - possible new rules
10 years ago
General
Since Patreon has no way of it's own to prevent those things, i have come up with an idea.
I would no longer link to the videos and photos directly, i would put them up as ZIP file and protect them with a password.
This password however would be given to the patrons monthly, once theit pledge goes through.
This would prevent freeloaders as well ( i sadly had quite a lot this month )
I would like to ask you all for your opinion on this before i do this.
Would this be ok for you all or would that be any problem for you?

When you have tiered access, use a different password for each tier.
It's not making things noticeably more complicated, just allows you to narrow down troubleshooti.g even more.
PGP encryption is even more secure, but a little more work to implement.
Best of luck to you.
Well, its not going to stop people from getting your work that should have it in the first place, but its gonna cut down the number quite a bit, because people are lazy. X3 I say there really isn't any down sides to this to the many positives. So as to quote the buff... " JUST DO IT!!!!!11111eleven11!!1"
But frankly password zips wont really stop some one from unpacking and posting ore even repacking.
I wish I could give a better idea but short of running your own site it's a lot harder to keep your work secure.
