Homegrown Termination - Homegrown Response

06-28-2004, 08:51 PM

Please be advised that CEcash (Trade News Corporation, N.V.) has decided that it will no longer promote the
www.homegrownvideo.com website and that effective immediately it is terminating its marketing relationship
with homegrownvideo (TM). As a CEcash affiliate and pursuant to paragraph 3 of the affiliate agreement between
you and CEcash you must therefore immediately remove all CEcash 'homegrown' program materials, including any
banners and text links that advertise the homegownvideo.com website via any CEcash affiliate program.

This came as surprising news since I had to hear it first from one of our now FORMER affiliates on a web board...

All I can really say right now is thanks to all the people that have supported Homegrown Video. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

A more official response will be forthcoming.

I can't go into any details right now but what is on the public record already does contain tons of info on where both sides were coming from.

I was going to promote HomeGrown until I read that they were sueing CE... Or something like that.. Or at least that's how I read the info I had.. So I've actually been waiting for this to happen. Let us know when homegrown gets it's own program.

The feedback here is incredible and I hope that whatever we do going forward that we will do it in a way that honors your generousity and faith in Homegrown.

We are still in a state of uncertainity and frankly shocked by CE's announcement; we do not know what we will do exactly because this took us completely by surprise. I do know that we must weigh all options in the interest of maintaining and growing our business.

far-l,

contact me on ICQ (1889711) or AIM (fthylmann) if you are interested in rolling out your own program efficiantly and fast.

It sucks that this kind of stuff happends in our industry, and we would love to help you get back on your feets ASAP. Homegrown has been an important name in the industry and it should stay that way.

Sorry to hear that Far-L, but I bet your own program will do better for you guys in the long run. The real, amateur content of Homegrown never seemed like a good fit with the cookie cutter CE sites.

Good luck!

As a Women, before I was in this industry Homegrown was the only site I ever paid for. Better yet it kept my interest and i paid for it every month for a while!

If you want to stream your movies on our VOD site I would be tickled and honored!!!!!!!!!!!!

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

We are still waiting for some kind of official notice from CE... I still only have third party hearsay to go on... and that notice to affiliates only affected that aspect of the relationship so we are confused and trying to find out what is going on.

This matter is currently before the courts and therefore CECASH will make only a very limited statement. The termination of the CECASH affiliate program for homegrownvideo.com is precipitated by the actions of Homegrownvideo in repudiating its agreements and filing a lawsuit against Trade News, the owner of CECASH. The reaction of the representatives of Homegrown on this board are remarkable and in our opinion reflective of the disingenuous character and tenure of their lawsuit given the fact that Homegrown is seeking in its own court documents to prevent CECASH from "...marketing...or issuing passwords for access to the www.homegrownvideo.com site..." The actions of CECASH in terminating the affiliate program are therefore directly in line with the Homegrownvideo's own wishes and actions.

Uhm... Only reason I'd see Homegrownvideo wanting to stop CECash from sending members to their site would be that they weren't getting what they were supposed to for it / issuing memberships without giving the funds as well? Can only make assumptions for now of course.. guess we'll all find out later.

Best of luck to everyone.

Cheers,
Matt

All I can say is that what is on the public record reflects clearly the many issues that we have with CE that they would not resolve when we asked nicely first.

I am very sorry to see that Mike B has to put the spin on for CE since he was well aware of our efforts to rectify many of those issues before we became obligated by CE's actions to seek legal remedy.

The Judge said clearly on the record that she "would have likely granted the injunction".

CE can act as though they shut us down in response to our suit, but the record clearly shows that they were unwilling to do it when we requested that they do so because of their abusive practices and egregious actions.

The fact that they took it down without notifying us or negotiating any sort of appropriate plan for closing down the program demonstrates a lack of concern for "doing the right thing" by us or our affiliates. They can spin this any way they like but the facts will continue to speak for themselves.
