    I'm not saying they did or didn't do it but was there ever really any chance that Matrix was going to issue a statement admitting they did it? I say: No.

      Maybe with all the postings and Squirtit's calling out for sponsors to respond may invoke several AVNonline statements like Matrix.

        Seems a little fishy. The address I got the Acacia letter from is the address that my matrix stuff gets sent to. They're the ONLY ones who have that particular address. Everything else goes to another address. I dont know Norm.....

But that don't mean shit until I can see the entire list of companies that have settled. Just my

                "The reason we chose to fight them was because, at first, they wanted our Webmasters and stuff," Bentley said. "The only (other) reason why we did settle was because they did not require us to inform (them of) anyone. When it first started, yes. But when we licensed, no
                There goes what one of the other companies that settled said in another thread that Acacia wasn't asking for webmaster info

                    Exactly.. personally, i'm not going to bite. They actually had to release a statement about discussions going through message boards? I think someone is feeling a little insecure. Who are you trying to convince here Matrix? Yourselves?

                      We've had nothing but good business dealings with Matrix. Off the top of my head I know 3 businesses that are matrix clients that have not received any letters from acacia. We have old addresses in the Matrix client information database. We haven't received any letters there either. I think if they sold out then their whole client base would have been mailed.

                      I may be wrong, but I don't think matrix sold you out.

                          Everyone wants to point at programs that signed as the source of leaks but I'm thinking its not.

                          I'm beginning to suspect that Acacia simply purchased webmaster lists. Its common knowledge that they hired people within the industry as consultants to explain the ins and outs of the biz. Any one of those consultants would have answered the question "How do we get the names and addresses of the players in the market?" with the answer "Buy some lists".

                              I think it might have some relevance, had already been sent to me by a webmaster and forwarded on to the appropriate people.

                                Its also quite possible webmaster info was obtained from Matrix surreptitiously.

                                For example, maybe they had someone make an offer for a mailing list without saying they were affiliated with Acacia.

                                Or maybe it was an inside employee that figured he could make some quick bucks and contacted Acacia not saying he was with MC but just had some great webmaster lists.

                                Just something to think about.

                                Obviously its apparent if the common denominator is MC than somehow the info got to Acacia via that source.

                                  i have an account with matrix and i havent received anything. Im waiting a couple days to be sure since im not in states. I hope its not Matrix because i've much respect about them so far. By not receiving though a letter doesnt mean anything. Acacia probably did a selective picking based on certain criteria. It makes sense first of all to see US based webmasters getting contacted.


                                  fuck,if i could do a wish that would be 300 seconds with the Acacia CEO. 300 seconds would be enough

                                        My letter does not have any urls listed so it had to be someone who does not keep an url on file like sponsors usually do.

                                          Again, did anybody that have bought content from MATRIX in the past DID NOT receive a letter?

                                            mr Bentley since he claims he didnt sell the info MUST find out which employees sold the list and take legal actions against him. From his interview he is against this practise. Let's see that IN ACTION.

                                              big fish,this doesnt mean a lot if acacia did a selective picking. From what i see the majority of the webmasters contacted at the moment are US based.

                                                    I'd say your right... but remember.. in all fairness Matrix is defending themselves... focus on those that have settled and remained silent:

                                                      Because we (I) have no reason to suspect them?

                                                        Well you should suspect someone.. Matrix people are not the only ones receiving packages.

                                                        Many have received packages with affiliate info that do not belong to Matrix.. so where are they coming from?

                                                        If you don't suspect those have have settled, and are listed, who do you suspect?

                                                              I shouldn't suspect anyone else because I KNOW my information came from Matrix Content. I'm sure that more than one company has sold out and given up their webmasters just to get a sweetheart deal but Matrix shot themselves in the foot on this one.
