So what's up with this Frenchman's attitude? He stopped sharing his content and deleted all his pictures from Flickr. All I know is the man started watermarking his videos before he took them all down because he was complaining that people were "stealing his videos" and reposting them. He's been aggressive with DMCA takedowns everywhere from YouTube to PornHub. I would understand if his videos were for sale on clips4sale.com and he's losing money because people are reposting his stuff for free, but that's not the case. Due to the sexual nature of his videos, I doubt he can monetize and collect ad revenue from YouTube and he's nowhere enough views to go viral so what's his problem? Over-inflated ego and narcissism? Attention seeker?

Ever heard of a guy named FootFetishTrinidad?
He posted lots of free content on forums and YouTube, but something set him off, and he took down everything. He was honest with his approaches, no gimmicks. So we really lost out when he stopped.
Regardless of if he isn't monetizing, his content is his content by copyright law. However, YouTube reserves the right to use content as it sees fit, once it's upload it. That is YouTube's policy.
Once people repost his content to their channels, he loses control of it. For example, he can disable comments on his channel or delete inappropriate ones. He cannot do that on someone else's channel.
How would you feel if you posted a video of a close female relative or friend doing something, and could control the comments. Then someone reposts your video to their channel and puts whatever they want as the description, and the comments are crass, disrespectful, or vulgar. You would not appreciate that at all.
What if you took a photo of someone and posted it to IG or FB, then someone took that same photo and posted it somewhere you did not approve, such as a porn site. It disrespects you and the subject of your photo. It also violates your copyright.
Just because someone is not making money from a photo or video does not give others the right to steal the content and post it. Some are bold enough to claim other's content as their own and put their own bs watermarks on there.
When we create something, it's our nature to protect it, whether is be art, hardware, software, rebuilding a vehicle or motorcycle, building a house, having a baby, etc.

There hasn't been respect for Copyright or Content for years and years because there's really no consequence for stealing something and re-distributing it.. My content has been shared across all platforms, porn sites, pirate sites, YouTube, social media as well as has any producer of good content. There's little to nothing you can do to protect your own Copyright and how much money in attorneys would you spend to chase down every thief of it?

Basically what Jedi said. Even if he's not making money, it's frustrating to see your stuff taken, and eventually it becomes a diminishing return to keep up the work. It's why a lot people leave any given creative field.

It's one thing sharing,but it's another . When you have jerks taking credit for other people's work. I had a YouTube channel,with an ex girlfriend. It was videos of me doing things to her feet. I would find my videos on other sites and I was ok with that. Then there was a guy who had a channel pretending they were his videos . After that I said fuck it and have never made another video.

Stealing and taking credit for someone else's work is one thing and I can without a doubt see why people would be indignant about that. Simply reposting and giving the original creator credit and/or not claiming credit for it is another; provided you watermark your content.
The latter, I would in a way consider as being advertisement. As was mentioned, I don't imagine many people would sit and browse through clip4sale's entire vast library for a particular fetish genre, and usually become aware of the existence of certain clip stores by seeing a video of that store's content elsewhere and liked it, which would then potentially cause them to visit that clip store and purchase content.
Like was said, if nobody is sharing your content, then that means your content isn't very popular nor liked.

That's sad to hear, I seem to remember your content awhile back. This is what happens mostly when you post on a free medium to share your content. I personally enjoy quite a few other producers' content but don't redistribute it, I will just keep it for myself (the private reserve).

It's a shame, FF-Trinidad was an epic contributor to the feet community! I've seen similar disappearances from other great producers as well, such as: Must See Feet, Josh from Feet "N" Soul, Murray from EveryDayFeet, Doc from It-smells, GGN from CBF, J.R. from CollegeFoot and many others. It's as if these guys decided to stop spreading their great legacies by saying "Nothing to see here" and poof, they've gone off the radar
There's got to be a way where someone can find them again when they disappear like that
