This is just a witch hunt until NLB/Matrix replies ...
The truth is (IMO) all those who have signed contracts and "deals" with Acacia have to submit information that can be cross referenced wtih other "licensees" ...
I believe it's Schedule "B" that you have to fill out.
Come on ... we all know how to cross reference dbases ...
Why are you nailing matrix when it's ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED providing the information ...
wake up ...
Just like Acacia picked on the "adult industry" they picked on a particular companies "monthly report" ... Matrix just happens to be the first ... others will follow ...
wake up and donate to IMPAI.org or FightThisPatent.com ...
wake up ...

sexeducation,
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your statement above is 100% false. I can't speak for everyone as I have not seen copies of other executed licenses, but I do know what we signed.
The license that Hustler and Vivid signed did not ask for affiliate information, nor are we required to provide affiliate information at any time for sales reporting or for any other reason.
Why would they need affiliate information to check sales information? They charge on gross sales, so all they need are general sales reports and/or tax returns.
Acacia clearly got a webmaster list from somewhere, but it was not something that was required from all licensees. At least it wasn't required from us.
This doesn't address the issue of how webmaster information DID get out, but we really don't need more mis-information floating around to add to the confusion and speculation.
My point here is that just because a sponsor settled does NOT mean they are giving up affiliate information. My guess is that the majority of companies who settled were not required or asked for affiliate info.
