gallery pics / misleading information

I've noticed some huge discrepancies between the gallery pics and the actual scene content.

Now, I know that it's common practice to take some stills in between, before and after the shoots, but there are some cases that made me wonder, if there are bigger chunks of some scenes cut out.

Here are 2 decent examples of what I'm talking about:

http://legalporno.com/player/watch/cid/ ... ll#gallery
Looking at the gallery previews you can see that she is wearing the corset the entire time, she's receiving dp while wearing it, yet none of that footage is found in any of the screencaps and actual scene?

http://legalporno.com/player/watch/cid/ ... ll#gallery
Here it is the other way around, she is wearing the corset the entire scene but the gallery shows a lot of action where she isn't wearing it.

So my question is, are there bigger chunks of video footage edited out, due to video editing failure? Was it edited out on purpose? Or do these gallery pics really show positions the performers assumed just to take a quick still image?

Another thing I noticed is that there seem to be quite a few scenes that have been falsely tagged.
For example:
http://legalporno.com/player/watch/cid/27537#WEB - http://legalporno.com/player/watch/cid/27448#WEB

Both of these scenes show 'double anal' as genre, yet there isn't any sign of that present in the video footage.
This makes me wonder how the scenes get tagged. Do the studios give out the scenes with tags, which could mean that the tags are correct and footage is missing/edited out? Or is this simply by human error?

It could also be viewed as misleading / confusing information, since one might buy a scene just going by tags or pictures and end up being disappointed when he finds out he didn't get what he wanted.

Any enlightenment is appreciated :confused:

yes they are aware some content managers made the mistake of using default genres and they are fixing the tags...

Can I second the tag complaint and emphasize it? I think tagging is SUPER important and almost certainly affects sales. The more accurate, precise and accessible the better. It's likely some videos are missed by people who would otherwise buy them. It's funny because the site appears to have a very good filter in place; it's just the tags that need sorting. Just as an example there are only two scenes from the Triple Stacked genre that are actually tagged "triple stack." Consistency would be nice. On the other end of the spectrum I've bought at least one scene (can't remember which, sorry) that was tagged with a particular fetish only to find it contained nothing of the sort.

I appreciate what's in place so far of course, but this is the sort of gradual, long term stuff that should be corrected, clarified and improved as time goes on.

In an ideal world I'd even like to see a two-tiered approach to scene tagging, with keywords listed under "major" and "minor" depending on their prominence in the scene. Like, if there was only a little bit of pissing in the scene it would be listed as "minor," and so on. That way you have a better idea which scenes give a lot of attention to the fetish you want to see (or avoid). Just an idea mind you but food for thought.

First of all, although in general I agree with your comment, I wasn't complaining but rather pointing out a few things I've noticed.

I would however still like to see a real response to all the things I've mentioned, since the half-assed statement that was made so far doesn't even scratch the whole topic.
