Good post Carrie.
Your figures are a bit out.
Quote:
Let's see. As a program owner you payout 50% to affiliates. 15% or so for processing. Pump another 20% back into content, design, and hosting.
Now you're up to 85%. For every $100 your site makes, you get $15 whopping bucks.

You forgot about the guys that join and cannot be assocaited to an affiliate, shaving and merchant accounts. But the principal is good.
And the main point is Acaica are not the only firm with a
PATENT THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO THE ADULT INTERNET. Foget about streaming videos think of any patent that can be associated to us.
Also look at there latest tactic, they are going for a "Class" action. Does that include people not living in the US? Maybe living in a country not signed up to this BS patent yet.
There is one way out of this. Meet the costs of the defendants and dump those that signed up. Then faced withthe prospect of fighting this through the courts for 5 years, against a foe who is able to pay and no revenue coming in. Suddenly you are running at a massive loss, again does not take Einstein to work out there are better places to extort before this is thrown out of court.
