Piracy of Content

Added 2025-07-14 15:40:23 +0000 UTC

Hi all— we need to talk about something serious that affects not just us, but the entire creative and LGBTQ+ community.

Piracy.

We understand times are hard. Financial strain, political hostility, and rising barriers to access have made it harder than ever to find meaningful, affirming content — especially for LGBTQ+ people. That’s exactly why we’ve made it a priority to offer free, accessible content on a rotating basis each month. We want to ensure that even those who can’t always afford to support financially still have a way to connect with stories that reflect them.

But piracy undermines our work, our passion, and everything that we stand for.

When work is taken and distributed without permission, it directly threatens the livelihood of those who pour their time, skill, and heart into every piece of content that’s released. We’re a small startup — still growing, still finding our footing — and every download, every like, and every review matters.

Piracy doesn’t just steal content. It steals opportunity, delays new releases and it silences queer voices trying to break through.

If you see our work being pirated, please report it. Flag it. Let us know. We’re relying on our amazing, passionate community to help protect what we’re building — together.

Thank you for standing with and supporting Apollo Studios. <3

A final message to those pirating our work:

What you’re doing is not support — it’s theft. And worse, it’s theft from queer creators who are already fighting to be seen, heard, and valued in a world that tries to silence us.

We offer free content. We make access a priority. So don’t pretend this is about need — it’s about entitlement.

If you care about LGBTQ+ voices, then respect them.
If you can’t do that, stay far away from our platform.

We’re not here to be exploited. We’re here to create something that lasts — and we will protect it.
