OK let me explain... when we did the deal they made certain demands, they wanted control over certain things (even though it was a 50/50 partnership) they wanted control for example of the domains, and even though we didnt really see why they had to be in their registra we finally agreed...
However we did keep control of the content... to be fair it's the only "power" we did keep, they asked us for all the model ID's model releases and 2257's... but my gut feeling, yes even way back then... made me believe we should keep management of these to ourselves... so to this day they do not have control of the content...
Anyways when the shit hit the fan, which was about 6-7 months ago... and they obviously were not doign anything about it, letting the sites basically die... we made a move to get some of the stuff back... we managed to persuad them to give us for example the BrookLittle.com domain name back... but alas that was it.
Now the deal is dead, and they are just leaving the sites to rot we spoke about taking it all back, but to do this they want all the money they invested returned... which is a total joke, the idea you buy a share in a company, totally fuck the company over and run it into the ground, then say you'll give it back for your original investment lol...
So we're obviously not going to do that, we still own 50% of the company but dont see that we'll get anything out of them... so I guess it's time to just sever ties... We are going to explore some legal avenues... but when your 6000 miles away and only a small company it's not really easy to take them on...
So we are reproducing the domains within our new program... more really as bonus sites in our new network in the hope it bolsters things a bit, and doesnt result in being a total loss. We believe we created good sites with good models, shot good content... and produced a top noth program... so yeah we might have lost the original program but I aint just going to bend over and be fucked in the ass by these guys...
Are we looking for sympathy in this, no cause we know in this industry you dont get sympathy, do we expect people to stop working with them, no cause we know people go where the money is, and even if it's through less scrupolus people where the stability of that money is very dodgy... as I said at worst it's me venting off, at best it might just make someone really cautious of doing a partnership !
