This. Also this would change all download links and you'd need to update the Webpage as well. I am pretty sure they don't reupload them at all or only in certain special cases, where the password has been broadly leaked and they are losing money - then again, why would you leak the password? You'd just upload the vid to a torrent site and be done with it.
That said, it's still a shady business. This is basically them making a profit from pirating because they sure as hell aren't a certified reseller. That makes it even worse than just plain torrenting the stuff, because in both cases the creator of the video doesn't see a dime but with paying these sites you strongly encourage them to continue. It's just porn, so it won't get as much attention from law enforcement as sites with visitors in the hundreds of thousands each day, but you are leaving a shady company with information about your payment - which then may in worst case be abused, since you do not know if the payment is really secure, or saved and confiscated by law enforment if they ever get busted. Granted, this can happen with torrenting stuff as well, but in that case they have an ip and have to request more information, while with payment information they have at least your bank/city and name.
I still advise staying away from these sites. While the Japanese Porn industry doesn't calculate with big earnings outside of japan, they shouldn't have to deal with big pirating sites that resell their stuff for a lot lower price.
