You can huff and puff and beat your chest all day long but the REAL WORLD outcome is hardly ever pretty.

I discussed this scenario with my lead attorney this afternoon. I basically asked, what would you do if a girl came to you and wanted to get out of her site, even if YOU prepared all the documentation (he is fucking awesome)? Could you get her out of it?

Here was his response. Let's assume that the girl has a rich daddy, or is paying her legal fees on her back.

He said he had no idea what the outcome would be, it could go either way, but here is what he would do:

1. He would file suit against the site owner.
2. He would also name every single affiliate in the suit.
3. Interrogatories would begin. Many trees will die, we have a lot of questions to ask.
4. Depositions would begin. Your argument is going to certainly include financial hardship and financial hardship to your affiliates. Beautiful, contact your accountants boys and girls (affiliates too) and bring your books to the deposition cuz we are gonna go through your accounts penny by penny. Hope you dotted your i's and crossed your t's, would certainly hate for the IRS to have to get involved.
4. Interrogatories over? Nah, just begining. The first batch of interrogatories and depositions raised new questions.

etc, etc, etc, etc. It would COST you a fortune. You could certainly try to counter sue, come up with some good causes of action. Maybe you win, maybe you don't. Even if you do, you don't. Try and collect on a judgement. If the girl doesnt have any money, you aren't getting dick. If she does, bankruptcy and Florida is an easy solution to that one. Remember, you can only go after HER money, not daddy's.

My point is, there are LOTS of factors to consider. As I have said many times, the final answer may very well be, I'm sorry but NO. But an intelligent business person will come up with that answer at the end of the discussion, when they have all the facts, not at the beginning.
