AdultLoad Review

One of the browse axes is labelled by quality, and what it actually sorts by is source medium: VHS rip, LaserDisc rip, TV rip, DVD rip, Blu-ray rip, web rip. That is an archivist's classification rather than a porn site's, and it tells you what kind of collection this is — one where the provenance of a transfer matters as much as the film.

The rest follows the same logic. Titles carry release years going back to 1971, shelves run by decade from the 1940s to the 1990s, films are filed by country of origin and by conventional genre — drama, comedy, romance, documentary, horror — and there are filmographies for tracing a name through the catalogue.

It is not only films. Loops, softcore features and scanned magazines sit alongside them, with individual issues dated to the month, which extends the archive into print and into the short-form format that predates video entirely.

Everything is offered as downloads. Nothing on the site indicates any arrangement with the rights holders of the films and magazines it distributes, and a DMCA page is the only acknowledgment of the question. As a catalogue of the pre-tube era it is organised with real care.
