What's up with The Training of O?
When visiting scenes in The Training of O and Sex and Submission channels tonight, I only get the options to watch the trailer or to buy the scene. I no longer get the option to download the scene.
I have checked, and my subscription is current and I am logged in. Does any one else see the same thing?
Thanks in advance
Jens

Same for me, along with Kink University, Everything Butt, Hogtied, Hardcore/Bound gangbang, Whippedass, Fucking Machines, Families Tied, Public Disgrace, Ultimate Surrender, Wired Pussy, Electro Sluts, Sadistic rope, Upper floor, Water Bondage and Kinky Bites not having download options.
Submissive X, Chanta's Bitches, Fucked and Bound, and Kink Featured are the only ones of the 22 I checked that still had a download option.
I'm hoping that it's a server error or something, but that's a lot of missing content if not... -
Apparently it's not a server error. I asked Kink support and got this answer:
To protect the unique content on Kink.com, we have removed the ability to download scenes from the site for our KinkUnlimited and KinkMen subscriptions. This decision helps us ensure that the content you pay for is not shared and spread across the internet for free. However, scenes that are individually purchased will still support downloads. If you have any questions about this please let us know. We appreciate your feedback and understanding as we work to protect Kink and make it stronger for the future.

I understand the reason for disabling downloads, but this change shouldn't affect people with a currently active subscription. The change should start when the subscription is renewed.
I'm not a lawyer, but the way this was done seems like a very unfair business practice (possibly even a breach of the agreement terms). Not happy about this.

I got the same response as Jens. This move by kink.com is unconscionable to me! I have paid for kink.com subscriptions since 2007 and have never seen anything like this at kink. How can they legally change the terms of a subscription midway through a subscription? What is the point in paying for a yearly subscription to kink.com that literally states it is for unlimited downloadable access to all kink sites if I then have to turn around and pay for each individual shoot? I'm not sure about others, but I mainly used the kinkunlimited subscription to watch older kink shoots from a bygone era with since retired directors/performers etc.
I can't believe they don't at least offer some sort of compromise where the older content is at least streamable/watchable through the kinkunlimited subscription. I'm beyond irritated with this move.
-
I replied to the support mail, and made a statement about what they did being a major cut down in services. And without any prompting from me, apart from that statement, they issued a refund of the remaining half year's worth of my subscription.
I think this is a seriously bad move on Kink's part. I'm not sure they have thought this properly through, and realised how much money they will lose. -
again another topic of the same problem. Kink, you are going to lose subscribers. I have a yearly subscription and in the middle of this you just change the rules. I want a refund if you don't revert this policy.
