AVN/GFY To Investigate Media Revenue Allegations - Cancels MediaRevenue Advertising 2 B Unbiased
Yesterday, August 15th, GFY/AVN received a letter of C&D from the company Media Revenue, due to a thread made from the user Onlytease on GFY. The thread was moved (and not deleted) until we were able to seek legal advise on the matter.
At this time, due to increasing amount of reports that AVN and GFY is hearing on questionable types of program behaviour, AVN has launched a full investigation to report on the issue. Pending the results, we will issue a public comment in AVN and here. Additionally, after consulting our legal team, we decided to stop accepting advertisement from Media Revenue, until AVN and GFY are able to fully evaluate the situation. At this time AVN and GFY does not have any proof of the accusations, nor any proof to discredit any accusation. We also know that many webmasters have generated significant income over the years from the programs in question. Nevertheless, as there have been a lot of negative threads in recent months and it is pretty clear that AVN and GFY community have a responsibility to research this issue further. During that time, to complete this research in unbiased manner, AVN/GFY will move foward without any advertising revenues from MediaRevenue. Given the possible legal implications, we ask the GFY community to show self control the next couple of weeks and months, until we are able to complete our investigation into the matter and publish our findings. |

Theo, you're asking a whole hell of a lot here
"we ask the GFY community to show self control the next couple of weeks and months, until we are able to complete our investigation into the matter and publish our findings."

It is good that you are temporarily not taking any money from Media Revenue in an effort to restore some journalistic integrity. I look forward to hearing the results of your research, as I am sure many are, although I am not sure why it would take months to resolve the OnlyTease allegations against DeeCash (MR). P.S. Be sure to investigate Manwin when you finish with Media Revenue... ![]() ADG |

Very interesting... Guess MediaRevenue should have thought thru their actions a little more... Would have been better off just letting the masses rant for a couple days and then have it all just disappear like it always has in the past while they continue doing business as usual.

I am curious to the outcome obviously, so are many I guess. |

So that also means
no large signatures, since no longer a top advertiser ? no more contest threads or program announcements, since those are for advertisers ?

Nice move, although I'm not sure what you're going to be investigating. Whether or not OnlyTease can prove what he posted?

Jack Sparrow, its not about making people feel stupid. Was the right thing to do. Just wish some people I consider friends after all these years here, would not judge so easy.
Brujah there are ways and we will try. |

I hope the report and investigation covers more than just unauthorized charges.
Some things to check into: copyright infringement, 2257 record keeping (check the legal page of MediaRevenue), the reports of unauthorized charges, as well as a report on the past histories of Jim, Anthony, Terrence, and Dee. I look forward to the independent findings. |

Big up's Theo
Goin the extra step and not taking their ad money is a bold move. So basically Media Revenue is on a "time out" right now. To Be Continued.....

Exactly my thoughts too. Only thing they can do really is to dive into things to a level where they, as a private company, feel they can justify killing all professional relationships because of brand considerations, ... or continue the relationship if nothing of importance where found. What does it mean? Worst case/Best case (you pick) AVN will no longer do biz with MR. Thats something I guess...

Now if you guys only did the same for paysite programs that scrape underage content off 4chan and sell access to it, or steal other paysite content as their own I'd be really impressed.
Or for that matter accepting ads from sponsors that run illegal tube sites too.

Right fucking on AVN/GFY. Losing ad money in these times is never fun, glad to see you all took the high road. Good luck with the investigation.

As an industry publication, AVN can take what info they can get a do things such as contact Visa, merchant banks, etc. Armed with just a little info, they can go after a lot of info. If they are not accepting money from MR then they are free to be journalists and report their findings with no repercussions.

Some of the content, on at least some of their sites...
is in my opinion, questionable. And on their legal page, they actively tout they do not maintain 2257. "The company does not keep 2257 compliance notes or any sort of documentation in regards to the clients that the company represents." (http://mediarevenue.com/legal.php) |

Also, 2257 is an American law, applicable in American jurisdictions. If you setup shop elsewhere, like Cyprus, there would be no need for you to comply with laws of another jurisdiction. But without being an expert, I cannot say for absolutely certain.

They were and some may still be but operations look like they have been moved to Costa Rica based on FB posts, threads, Google searches, etc.

Offices in Orlando. Operates from Abroad.
Dont get me wrong they have protected their fraudulent setup well for a long time. This is the first(well second) community step in setting them in the corner by themselves. I just wonder what the employees that are told to lie to the public are feeling right now. I mean I know Ive talked to ex employees that have stories. Id like to hear it from someone that still works there and how they feel. Nick for instance. You used to be against this shit man! ANYWAY... good stuff AVN/GFY - Respect!
