    an idea to clean the industry up

    do you think if affiliate programs asked for company tax id's before they let webmasters join their program that would help the industry any?

    the way i see it, to many people come to porn as a 'hobby' and not enough proper companie structures are set up, surely 'some' of the pressure being put on the industry as a whole could be alleviated if programs only let webmasters with corporate tax codes join their programs.

    some programs require this anyway but, if you do not have one they will also allow you to use their program by entering your SSI number, surely it would benefit affiliate programs 'long term' to weed out the people who are hobbiests at this.

    anyone have any serious thoughts on whether this would / wouldnt work and reasons behind their thoughts?

          under no circumstances would this ever be more profitable for an affiliate program.

            It would also weed out all the legitimate companies in countries other than the US.

            and making a system that would take into account every single country's tax IDs would be a hell of a lot of work. especially if it was to do verification, or if verification was done manually.

              of course it would, they wouldnt have to worry about individual webmasters ripping them off and, if a company screwed them they have a better chance at suing them for damages etc.

              sure it would be costly but once they won they would also get damages along with legal fees

                    not true, as it stands as long as you can use the web you can find out if a company is 'registered' so to speak.

                    all i am saying is make aff programs only acept companies, regardless of what their business liability is, by making a sole proprietor (sp?) become accountable for what they actually do, if anything ever had the need to go through the courts they would stand to lose a lot more than just a sponsors check

                    as for the database, im sure that it wouldnt be that hard to compile one the data must be floating around the web somewhere i would even bet that most payment processors hold this sort of information (kimmy could you confirm if this is the case?)

                    anyway was just a thought i had might not even be a plausable idea but it should be worth investigating surely especially if it took some of the unwarranted heat off us as an industry overall.

                      no you think about how reasonable it was, companies have a higher liability threshold and more chance of being prosecuted than individuals do - especially by other companies and the feds

                        how many cases have you seen lately of reputable companies taking huge blows because of affiliate fraud. you're whole argument basis is retarded.

                                how will you prove someone isn't lying? or what if someone is using a trading name? that can't be checked. Not for companies in this country AFAIK... Usually that stuff is information held by the banks for cheque books, not by the companies office. Our Inland Revenue department isn't going to make that info public either..

                                as for the database, im sure that it wouldnt be that hard to compile one the data must be floating around the web somewhere i would even bet that most payment processors hold this sort of information (kimmy could you confirm if this is the case?)
                                This amuses me. Americans take it for granted that they have no privacy. In New Zealand, we have privacy laws. This information won't be and can't be in other peoples databases unless your company has dealt with them in the past and the information has been provided freely - or alternatively, if has been obtained via authorities in criminal investigations - but even then, the authorities keep the info private.


                                anyway was just a thought i had might not even be a plausable idea but it should be worth investigating surely especially if it took some of the unwarranted heat off us as an industry overall.
                                haha. as long as there are religious bumfucks ont his planet spouting off that ANY pornography is obscene, who rank it with child pornography and beastiality, then there will ALWAYS be unwarranted heat on this industry. There are different degrees of heat. you joined this industry know that, surely.

                                    Trading name would come down to the sole propriator thing, aswell as certainly in the US you check for DBA's of companies etc.

                                    also just the fact that the info is held by the banks would mean that they had to have some form of 'official' paperwork in order for them to open a 'trading as' account.

                                    as for inland revenue making the information public, it would be companies house or whichever agency / body keeps a record of businesses in each country.

                                    but not unwarranted heat that could be avoided as it stands presently, the adult industry is seen as sordid and illegal (cp beasty etc) by a lot of people whether rightly or wrongly isnt the issue, with some form of 'standardization' so far as who can and who cant use affiliate programs as well as what is and isnt needed in order to join such a program this would help to alleviate some of the strain on the industrys reputation as a whole, as i said originally might not be a practical thing to do but who would you rather have start to instigate such steps, affiliate programs in the industry of the government, regardless of what country you live in.

                                      Don't assume that I think the walrus is illiterate since that is absolutely not the case.

                                            i dont think its the webmasters that are fucking up, i think its the fuckers running the programs that are fucking up and need to be weeded out.

                                            who you think is gonna fuck around more, the one who is doing it for fun? or the one who is doing it to get rich?

                                                  im not Canadian though unfortunately ;)

                                                  would you be so kind as to read that post a few up where i ask you to confirm or refute my statement about the processors holding company information to please - you are probably the best person to ask given your knowledge of that side of the industry

                                                  oh and, speeling and gramma are bad because ive been up almost 36 hours solid to launch a new product and im tired as all hell lol

                                                                                        Processors would only be holding information that related to their payouts. Companies that do their own payouts would not have their db's sitting in the hands of others without a reason.

                                                                                        Requiring a company does nothing for fraud control, hell I can go and make up about a dozen dba's and get tax ids for them in less than 48 hours if that is what I need.

                                                                                        You want to clean up the industry, you change the nature of the business completely.

                                                                                            You'll find that even if something like this was implemented, it wouldn't be taken up by everyone simply for the extra work involved, or for the perceived business loss.

                                                                                            and how many governments like to work together 100% of the time?? I personally think there are too many political issues - external to the adult industry itself - to make this viable.

                                                                                            but maybe I'm missing something.
