Adult Industry Leaders Call for Immediate Action Against Eporner.com

“Known for its anonymous ownership and elusive operational details, Eporner has become a focal point of industry criticism for hosting stolen adult content, thus severely impacting the profitability and creativity of content creators,” the companies added in the statement.

Daniel Abramovich, CEO of VR Bangers, said it’s “almost guaranteed that studios will discover their full videos on Eporner.com, leading to direct financial losses.”

The statement noted that the “adult industry has seen significant progress over the last decade” with respect to fighting piracy, “with major tube sites cooperating to prevent piracy and ensure that all uploads are legally sanctioned.”

“Contrarily, Eporner has conspicuously opted out of these community efforts, choosing a path that places them at odds with the broader industry,” the statement continued. “Despite repeated attempts to engage with Eporner.com to introduce measures that would prevent illegal uploads—such as an API to block copyrighted content at the point of upload—the response has been disheartening.”

“We offered a simple and effective solution, yet they refused to implement it,” Abramovich said. “The continued presence of users who have been repeatedly flagged for copyright infringement suggests systemic complicity in these violations, possibly with Eporner itself uploading this content.”

Abramovich added that the “daily upload of complete videos from numerous studios is an aberration in the industry, suggesting a fundamental breakdown in what should be standard preventive measures.”

In the statement, the studios said they are issuing a “united call” to the broader adult industry “for all business partners, advertisers, and affiliates to immediately cease their associations with Eporner.com.”

“This decisive action is deemed essential to halt the financial support that enables the platform to continue its harmful practices,” the statement continued. “Moreover, industry leaders are urgently requesting information that could lead to the identification of the owner of Eporner. Such information is vital to taking legal action and ultimately restoring ethical practices within the industry. In a collective statement, the industry expresses its commitment to protecting its creative outputs and ensuring that all content creators are justly compensated for their work.”

“Today, we call on every stakeholder within the adult entertainment sphere to stand with us,” Abramovich said. “We must protect the integrity of our industry and the livelihoods of those who enrich it. It is time to end the support for platforms that undermine our progress and violate our collective rights.”
