[Ancensored](http://ancensored.com/tv-shows/24), (no nudity at link) is a very useful site to get almost any nude scene that any actress has done. There are no ads and no subscription fee, and it must cost quite a packet in data tranferrence, so how do they make money? ---

Planting spyware on your computer? That’s speculation, but very common. ---

Perhaps instead of malware they survive on hush money paid by the women whose pictures you \*don’t \*see. 🙂 Or their business model includes pay-to-play by those up and coming starlets. Their manifesto doesn’t exactly rule that out, though it implies they don’t do that. Or more likely, these guys just really, really like a hobby involving nude women. It’s probably cheaper for them than, say, buying & riding a Harley every weekend. Which is a pretty common male hobby. ---

I don’t know, I think that buying a Harley every weekend could add up to being pretty expensive. ---

Sheesh. 🙂 Your right that was awkwardly said. “… buying a Harley & riding every weekend” would have been better. In my defense, the sentence started out as just “buying and riding a Harley.” The “every weekend” was an afterthought to add the additional expense of fuel, tires, etc. ---

Yeah i notice that and i open my ad block to avoid that pop ups but the problem is something else. They give the option in they uploaders to choise the ages of the celebs when they upload a video. The models are all 18+ of course in the videos but some people trolling and they wrote fake ages and sometimes they say that the model is less than 18 in the video titles. That would cause problems in the visitors of that website right? I will contact already their admin to fix that thing and remove the fake ages from the videos and he do nothing. The amount of fake ages videos is big. What about the visitors of that website? That thing can cause them problems or no? That website is amazing and it is the only free about celebs but what about that ages thing? I should stop use that website since they do not fix those things or i report it somehow or it is ok since the models are actually are 18+ in the scenes? ---

Just curious, I went there, and one of the first things that came up (before any nudes) was an install screen for Firefox Safe Search, which is widely held to be a virus and very hard to get rid of, but looks like a Mozilla product. Also, if you want a nude photo of anyone, just go to Bing and image-search for /nude (name of star)/ ---
