It's easy for programs to claim "rogue affiliates" do the actual spamming.. What's to stop a program for simply sending mail supposedly from an affiliate? It doesn't take a genious to come up with such a scheme.
im quite sure those fines are drops in the bucket compared to what they really made.
I'd have to second that 'quite sure'
650k is nothing if they had some decent mailers pushing them
what they need to do now is learn how to form a non-profit organization or become a political candidate so you can spam freely without harrassment from the ftc

I guess nothing stops them, but it is simply bad business. A scheme like this cannot be very hard to spot and then what follows would be a mess bigger then what is currently going on.

That's simply not true. It'd appear as if it was just another affiliate, nothing more and nothing less. Makes you wonder if that's what some of them do. The "sorry, it was an affiliate of ours" excuse is old.
If it was "just an affilate" and they closed "every affilates" account that broke the spam laws they wouldn't be paying $650k fine.. They would be fighting it, much like TopBucks is doing..
Settlement means they admit they broke the law in some way. It would be much cheaper for them to fight it, unless they thought the FTC would win the fight...
Breaking the law isn't okay, and paying a $650k isn't a big deal for a lot of adult companies.. It is a big deal though when it's a fine for breaking the law.
Of course he is. He gets a lot less ass-kickings that way.
I have always gotten along with most of the board nemesis, if you will. I just see past it most of the time. I get along with a lot more people that way.
I just don't have the time to fight with people. And the things that make someone likeable in my eyes really have nothing to do with how they express themselves.
Take Brad for example, he has a way of saying things, but if you choose to read it without a grudge, you see he is right a lot.

felony charges about kids and lakes and snuff flicks?
i forget the whole story. let me dig it up.
if i recall, it was you and your brother charged with making snuff flicks..
then there was another 'incident' involving you and a camera and a lake and kids on the beach.
a reliable source from this forum and the industry told me about it, not sure if i could ever find documentation on that, but i think i will spend some today on that.
thanks cd for giving me something todo today.

However, if he called people names and said things about their mothers etc., to their faces I am sure that he would have his fair share of knuckle sammiches to ingest. I believe that is what his post was about.

What I know is that my mail server has been blacklisted by spamhaus because its at the same place topbucks mail server is at and has a very long history of spamming. I even emailed topbucks about their spamming getting my IP address listed and all they said was they was working an agreement with spamhaus.
So to say some of these programs are not spamming is is just inaccurate.

My point is that you have not approached anybody at the show's to tell them that their mother is a whore or that they shave or that they are pedo's and all those other fun names you toss around. Most people will deal with your board persona and leave it on the board, but I doubt very much you would take your board persona to the show and start dishing out the shit you do on here. I know I would start slitting throats.

Unfounded empty insults pulled out of thin air with no base in fact.....
okay....
Trey Hickey did time for touching his neighbor's 5 yr old boy. I heard he aiso beat the shit out of you for it. understandible.
Trey's arrest is a matter of public record.
Anything else?
:D
actually my arrest IS public record, but it wasnt for touching a 5yr old boy. it was for criminal mischief and it was a felony because of the value of the property.
whats your felony for CD Smith?
