If the information was from my database, then it was done without Matrix Content, Inc. or any of it principals giving any form of consent for use and we have never in the past. We are checking every possible explanation. This has truly personally hurt me and all the employees that work at Matrix. We have always prided ourselves as being upstanding and honest. Now my person integrity is being questioned and I?m very upset to put it lightly. So what can we do? If this information, and I mean if, came from us, help use prove it! I have spent the day discussing this in great detail with my attorney and other companies and this is what we have come up with:
If you believe your information came from us call me on Monday and I will personally deal with everyone I can. If I?m swamped we will take you number and I call everyone back. We need to prove, without a doubt, it was my database it came from. Since we did not give permission of its use, this is a serious problem. So if your not just into destroying a companies reputation and want to get to the bottom of this make the call.

Good move! I've said that the focus should be on those that are NOT speaking up instead of those that are, but I'm glad you're trying to get to the bottom of this.
Now it's very probable that content companies share their lists with others. I say this because I don't want you to feel that I'm saying ONLY YOU might have done this. I ask of you and Ken, how many companies or, more importantly, "big guys" in the industry have you shared your list with? By "big guys" I mean individuals that were/are big in the industry. Have you ever shared your list with someone big in the industry that is now out of the game, or lying low? When was the last time you shared your list, if at all? Obviously the problem might not rest with you or other companies that settled, but who you've all shared your lists with.
The answers to these questions might not be any of our business, but I'm just trying to help find a solution and pin down where this problem is coming from.
I commend you for coming forward and fighting against these accusations. What you're doing says a lot about your character.
