![]() btw 64 - 2 ![]() Actually there were several other people in that thread that were getting fucked by fleshlight and were still talking about it. So while that thread was closed, the fact of the matter is that fleshlight is fucking more than just the original "op". He might be fine with getting fucked and looked at it as resolved, apparently others were not ready to bend over and take it up the ass and still wanted to talk about it. Further more, these type of situations are "topics of discussion" for affiliates to talk about with other affiliates, how we get screwed time and time again by these companies. I guess you missed the title "affiliates, what do you think... " If this is a topic you don't think is worth talking about any longer, I am sure you can find the door. However, it seems like you want to stay and continue to share your wisdom with us...

Eric closed the thread Will not me. Talk to him if you think it was closed prematurely.

I was informing you that your comment above was not correct. There were a lot more people involved than just the op and no one else seemed to be satisfied. Just because Eric closed that thread, doesn't mean that other affiliates can't discuss what happened.

Pretty interesting as those can't be all affils voting 70-2. That's almost unheard of for a poll.

I have contacted them and got an account just yesterday i believe it was. 2 sale's only and i get a free fleshlight. Now that i see they are that kind of company to treat their affiliates like complete monkey shit and hold earnings. Fuck em. I'm pretty sure 98% of affiliates are going to stay away if they see this thread/threads.
2000$ isn't much, but if you could have stated proof and a non update of TOS after x amount of years matuloo has sold for them.. That's something you take to court... You don't do that shit. |

It's not trademark infringement as he never pretended to be Fleshlight or a representative or agent of Fleshlight. His fleshlight review site (in other words: him writing his opinion on fleshlight) is covered by the fair use clause.

I have heard this from other sponsors as well.. I think it was femjoy I asked if I can register a domain to promote one of their sites and they said I could they just wanted to own the domain.. I passed on the offer but its good to know that is an option.

When it comes to trademark rights it's pretty bleak since it's entirely enforced through private lawsuits. To my knowledge there are no clauses that automatically means an enforcer has no grounds in court. Anyways, I don't really want to argue semantics because either way they're pieces of shit. That's like me giving an affiliate permission to remove a watermark and then sue them for copyright infringement after they've made me 10s of thousands. The fact he's not the only affiliate they fucked over makes me pretty pissed off. What even irks me more is they defended their position by pointing to their 'new' terms and conditions. When they owe everyone an apology for scamming their affiliates by giving them permission then later making legal threats.

that is because you are an honest, stand up guy and you weren't trying to fuck your affiliates out of income. I am sure FleshLight could have thought up the same solution I did, that you have also used, but their objective wasn't trademark protection, but simply trying to get out of paying those affiliates sales.

Like I said I'm not an attorney, but seems like if you tell people its ok to do and let them do it for several years, then you lose the ability to pull the "infringing" card against them in the future.

He had a right to his domain from the beginning, with or without permission, because it is an opinion site. As long as he doesn't represent himself as the owner / spokesperson for Fleshlight he was fine legally. Sure, they could have not taken his traffic but he would still own his domain and could put ads or monetize it another way. The fact that they gave anyone permission to use the domain makes this much worse. That means sites with names like fleshlightgirls.com would be OK, even though they just posted pictures of girls using Fleshlights on men or something. Without permission fleshlightgirls.com would be infringement. Once you give permission for someone to use your trademark in this way you lose the right to protect it from such use. They blackmailed him with threats of not paying him his own money in an effort to take over his domain which is illegal. From what was posted above it looks like the unfounded claims of infringement might even be actionable on top of that. They are shitty all around, they are wrong about his site infringing and even if he wasn't covered under that part of the law the permission makes them wrong again. At this point they are as backasswards as you can get in an argument and should be ashamed of themselves. I would bet hard earned money that they knew all of this before they held his money, they just didn't expect him to fight them on it.

A trademark is the property of the owner. So, affiliates are embarking on a very dangerous journey to register domains containing it.

Only an idiot would post 100% INCORRECT information when the entire thread is full of proof that the information is incorrect.

bullshit, for all the reasons already stated
i received my FN Cash approval the day before/day of this shit hitting the fan. won't be using it now...unless they make it right i see no reason why a company in our industry with an "un-tube-able", hard product needs to make such a harsh (and two-faced) maneuver.... well, i do but i'll let someone else say it.

fleshlight is royally fucking affiliates, this was a BAD MOVE - they hired some new tool whose goal is to increase profits, but who doesn't think farther than his big fucking nose - therefore he forgets, fleshlight was built because OF affiliates!! idiot!!
links pulled, there are tons of other sex toy companies to promote, fuck fleshlight and their money hungry capitalists that care about profits and not the people who helped them build their empire!

The question is who are the six program owners and reps who voted that it was okay? If they don't work for FNCash then it'd be good to know because chances are they will be fucking affiliates soon enough too.

You of all people should know better than to make such a blanket statement. A trademark is more than just a term, it is also a matter of usage. Also if consent was given, which it appears it was.

Start pulling links now for people who you suspect will do this. It's not to hard to see who is an asshole and who isn't just by spending a couple minutes reading their posts. You can't call them all but you can call most. Who are some competitors to FNCash by the way?
