Everyone who likes FBB's feels saddened that Ms Lockwood fell off the face of the earth, when she had such humongous potential.

Now she seems to be disappearing again!  Sometime ago, you would do a search on youtube.com and you would get dozens of videos of Tina. Now you're luck if you get to watch one! 

Where did they go?  Is some villanous muscle-vid company taking them off the air?  Is Tina herself doing it?    :-

It's more likely that WPW and whoever else owns those videos is having their copyrighted material taken off the public websites.  You can still buy her videos directly from them…  http://www.wpw.net

Saw something about this last week over @ Unrealmuscle.

Seems Herbiceps has gone on a jihad about getting FBBr clips on YouTube removed.  As part of the collateral damage, some of the posters that did go to the trouble of asking permission from the original copyright owners have also had their materials yanked.

And Bill Jentz, according to HB, asked him to include his materials, too.

No doubt, they're all starting to feel the pinch in the revenue dept from the fact that ppl are tightening up on spending their $$$.

Personally, I'm not surprised at this – it's not like it hasn't happened before.  Several yrs back, DtV spearheaded something similar and as a result a majority of the free FBBr fandom sites were nuked out of existence.

My personal opinion on this subject is: If you want to see some videos go and buy them… as simple as that… I'm not a fan of stealing…

I think there's a very big difference between a 1 minute youtube video and a 30-40 minute compilation.  What these people don't understand, is that by putting samples on youtube, they are amassing a HUGE number of potential new clients. HD Physiques already grasped this. Unfortunately many people still don't. 

A personal example of this is family guy.  I was never very interested in it by watching the commercials. As soon as scenes from the show started showing up on youtube, I became a fan immediately! Yet, even with all the probable advertisement that these short clips may bring to the show, FOX still insists on taking them all down. Greedy and stupid if you ask me. Like anyone would stop watching episodes on TV because they saw a 1 minute clip from it on youtube.

I agree you here, that in YouTube it is easy way to get attention from potential new customers. However, I don't say that it is right to put there copyrighted material.

Here's one example of succesful YouTube campain: http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2009/01/25/monty-python-youtube-channel-results-in-23000-jump-in-sales/

Monty Python YouTube channel results in 23,000% jump in sales?

It’s being claimed that the Monty Python YouTube channel, which shows various clips from the Monty Python sketches, has resulted in a staggering 23,000% jump in Python DVD sales. Is there a bit of serious number massaging going on here or is it total vindication on the part of those who wanted to put the material online for free?

If the 23,000% bit is really true, then those DVD’s must really be flying off the store shelves like rockets, and it just goes to show (MPAA and RIAA) that if you treat people with a bit of respect and give them something for free, they will respond in kind and buy something from you. That strategy seems to have worked fantastically well for the Pythons and now they are doing funny walks all the way to the bank.

It will be interesting to see if any American TV shows will follow the example and start YouTube channels in order to generate DVD revenue. The idea obviously works. I for one wouldn’t mind seeing a South Park or Family Guy YouTube channel set up with high quality clips. It doesn’t even have to be comedy. Any show with memorable scenes can set up on YouTube, put these scenes online as high quality clips, and invite people to buy the DVD’s. What do you think?

They will come back.  We all have stored on an external media these videos and in a few weeks, months, etc.  When these guys forget about all this.  We can put them back up and the whole process will start over again. 

Nothing is ever lost in the internet age.  It just not easy to find for a while. 

I saved EVER video I like as soon as I see it on my hard drive using realplayer.  Than I transfer it to DVD at some point.  I am a pack rat.  They only problem.  I can't find them when I need them.  I recommened that everyone do this type of operation and time they find a video they like.

Or you can start your own High quality blog and put all the videos you want in there.  And no one can touch you.

seems like the same thing happened with a number of top girls including Gina davis and Tina. Maybe they don't want to be on youtube as well. Gina's site is still open last I checked. Luckily, I have most of the material I want. I wish Gina has a compiliation vid from her site, but no luck there.

Good point Alex on the teaser clips. Some guys had a bit more than a teaser up though. A huger number of my favs were deleted and it seems any new material quickly disappears now along with the person who posted it. It is copyrighted, so I don't know if it is the economy or not. It was being abused for quite some time.
