DAMN $37 Million lawsuit against VideoBox? - GoFuckYourself.com

Shap · 08-19-2010, 08:28 AM

Looks like Private is going after VideoBox
http://www.xbiz.com/news/124279

DAMN!

Agent 488 · 08-19-2010, 08:31 AM

VideoBox is legit.

MaDalton · 08-19-2010, 08:32 AM

they go after XonDemand too: http://www.xbiz.com/news/124267

seems like they want to solve their cash problem this way

pornstar2fag · 08-19-2010, 08:35 AM

When you can't make money with your products, you sue people. Private is a shit stain on the adult entertainment community. The sooner they're gone the better. The writing is on the wall.

spazlabz · 08-19-2010, 08:37 AM

this surprised the shit out of me

Quote:

“To be clear, Private is in the fight against piracy especially among the largest perpetrators’ of this crime and this is one in a list of infringement cases we have planned to file. A Private executive attempted to discuss the situation with Meta Interfaces and was met with expletives. Meta deserves this lawsuit; their actions are criminal.”

too bad this could not have been resolved between the two parties amicably

The Ghost · 08-19-2010, 08:38 AM

Videobox was always good about licensing and paying, and they've had Private movies on the site forever. Has to be more to the story.

That seems to be the trend in todays world.

PR_Dave · 08-19-2010, 08:41 AM

Trying to think which broker was selling "private" DVD titles.

pornstar2fag · 08-19-2010, 08:43 AM

Seems like the retard owner of Private can't figure out what he really wants.

Suing people for piracy.

Go figure, another dumb dinosaur dies at the feet of the new Internet.

Idiot.

kristin · 08-19-2010, 08:45 AM

And Ilan won the restraining order fight ... Private can't incur any more debt, give out additional shares, etc.

go get em david! screw private

icymelon · 08-19-2010, 11:13 AM

is video box running a tube? or are they being sued for using unlicensed content on their paysite?

rabbit · 08-19-2010, 12:01 PM

they r going after tube site advertisers, which in this case is videobox's white label on several tubes.

So would this mean that other ad buyers can be sued too? Or is it just because the site(s) in question push the vip/WL too much with other peoples content? So they single them out?

Interesting case though.

Nathan · 08-19-2010, 12:51 PM

Roald,

As I am sure you know, anyone can be sued in the US. Winning though, is a whole other thing...

geneticmonkey · 08-19-2010, 01:14 PM

Its Private's final desperate attempt to solve their financial problems.
If you are familiar with that company and their performance, you'll notice they are tanking for the past 5 years.

So either they win a couple of lawsuits and cash in on that or they are closing the shop.
My 2 cents.

I still offer Private dvds:

Kind of hard to find an order on these prices Private dictated for me though.
Still waiting for my first order on those titles. Videobox did not buy them from me, nobody bought them yet so far to be honest.

Maybe the new discounted specials will sell:

Marie · 08-19-2010, 11:35 PM

Wow Private is in the news almost daily now... it's starting to become my favorite soap.

I think the "premium" being pushed from stolen private videos might be the angle..

Why do tubes have such a damn hard time being legit anyways?

Tons of sponsors will upload the video and provide the banner/linkcodes anyways...

IntenseLloyd · 08-20-2010, 01:05 PM

I would assume what is pissing Private off is that some tube sites have the "download hq" etc below some of the videos which either leads to xvids or some other private members area. It looks like Private is holding VideoBox acceptable use of it's promotional material.

Janelle · 08-20-2010, 01:28 PM

Will be interesting to see where this one goes. As far as I've seen, both companies are/were honest.

Nautilus · 08-20-2010, 06:04 PM

This article will shed some light on the report

Looks like Private has been an "intermediary" for the cash flow between other businesses.
