I would think so. Man we need an attorney to speak up now. This is a grey area.

Either way we need to boycott anyone who is a part of this.

We need more names. Someone post a list of the 54 companies that have setteled so we have a list to work from.

Anyone have this list? And I'm NOT saying that all 54 companies gave out info out.. I'm saying a list to work from to see who we have affiliate accounts with and who MIGHT have been behind leaking information.

I will not promote any affiliate program that gives the personal information of its affiliates to Acacia.

Well they shouldn't be hard for you 2 find. Can't be anyone else that lives in Death Valley but you and them.

it was the last post on the last page, i wanted to make sure it was read...

Yes, I would very much like to see this list also.

I am signed up with 30+ affiliate programs and I can guarentee you that I'll be withdrawling from each and every one that is on the list just for safe measure.

This is a list of companies that have settled with Acacia:

Hustler websites
Vivid Entertainment
Wicked Pictures

Copy this and add to the list

Who else has settled?

where is the last post on the last page please? this board is full of post about them.

Note to self:

When giving out ANY physical address on the internet, always encode it like so:


Joe Blow
1234 Conspiring Way. p03
Anytown, Ca 90210

Or

Joe Blow
1234 Conspiring Way.
Anytown, CA 90210 p03

OR

Joe Blow
1234 Conspiring Way.
Authorization Code: p03
Anytown, CA 90210


P03 could stand for "program 03" or whatever I want.


Same goes for email... I should always encode my emails like [email protected] and use a "catch all" address on that account.

That way it's easy to know who is selling my email, and easy to blacklist people who do.

I know if I get one, to my home it has to be a sponsor, because all my domain's are Reg. 2 a freinds company address.

the 50th post on the page before this one (page 1)
lol

SOMEONE PLEASE POST A LIST OF COMPANIES THAT HAVE SIGNED WITH ACACIA... 54 total I believe.

Hustler websites
Vivid Entertainment
Wicked Pictures

couple of things here.

First off, why would Acacia be sending legal documents to an account name instead of the persons name? Obviously if they have the address, they know who the pay to is on the check. No attorney would send docs to someone calling them by anything other than their correct and legal name.

Second, withdrawing from programs that you've already signed up to isn't going to make any difference, since they have your information on file.

mother f- - - - - - !

That's going to get your domains pulled, you do realize. Or at least, it may.

That's what I did!

Sponsor 1:

Myname1
address
[email protected]

Sponsor 2:

Myname2
address
[email protected]

Sponsor 3:

Myname3
address
[email protected]


Worked like a charm for weeding out the assholes that sold those addressed to SPAMMERS!!!

Mmmmm KimmyKim :Graucho

Hows the pooches after Aly's doggy sitting the other night?

ive always been doing that. but acacia didnt put my email address in the letter they sent... they didnt even list any of my sites. kinda seemed like they just hoped i was streaming videos, which i am not...

KimmyKim: That is not correct, tons of people have been getting the letter addressed to company names and are being delivered at po boxes with no signature requirements.

why if i get mail he gives it to me, besides I do part time work for him very part time. has my correct phone number in Reg. had 2 get caller ID and another phone because of the calls.

KK, I don't think they are talking about withdrawing from a company so that information is erased. I think they are talking about boycotts ya know?

I will not promote any affiliate program that gives the personal information of its affiliates to Acacia.

Kim.. no offense.. but denial is not going to result in taking care of this issue. I have told you, and others have attested, that this is what they are doing. And thank God they did it this way because now we know that some sponsors have sold us out!

I'm advocating Boycotting programs that have done this to us.. not withdrawing. Changing information will be usefull on programs that have not settled with Acacia.

Mine is addressed to a word I made up;)

*shrugs*

what an invasion of privacy :ugone2far

I've heard this from others.. interesting isn't it? Sending demand letters to people that don't fit the criteria?

Yup

Thanks to Squirtit to pointing me to this post. Here is what happened to me today.

I got a "Final Notice" to sign with them today. I asked them, "I run Sex Toy sites with NO VIDEO STREAMING, or Sound!"

Their reply was that the sites in question are porn sites, not a sex toy site.

After a little research, they said they must have gotten my name "Mixed up" with someone else.

WTF? How did they get my business address and name 'Mixed Up" with a porn site owner?

:ak47: FUCK YOU ACACIA!

I'll tell you an invasion of privacy all the calls I was getting because I put in my correct phone number with the domain Reg.

yup. its retarded. is that all that has signed is big companies? no little guys like myself?

Yes this is a proven fact.

Do you have a list of settlers? Where can we get this list?

Is there a way that these guys can join your suit for $2k-$3k to start? I think now is a good time to bring up alternatives other than hiding.

Far-L .. what deal can you work out for these guys to join your fight?

Another example of an affiliates info being released and an Acacia letter being received.

I will instantly drop any affiliate program that I'm using if its proven that they gave out info.

And if I get a packet at my Las Vegas address, it will narrow it down to 6 programs. Just gotta wait and see if I get one now.

Then they are no better at lawyering than they are at getting money from people FarL ;)

Little guys have signed as well.. only big companies get the Acacia press release stating another has signed. 54 licenses total big and small guys.

well shit. im not sure what to do here. i guess im gonna just ignore this letter and see what happens

Anyone notice an eary silence from the sponsors here?

NOT ONE SPONSOR HAS COME FORWARD to say they have/haven't given out address. Ken from Hustler is the only one in another thread the absolutely denies that they EVER gave out affiliate info.

WHERE IS THE SPONSORS INPUT HERE?

Their lack of response is astounding.

think it would be wrong to call out a sponsor? i have a feeling that its a certain sponsor.

If you are wrong it might be.

Some interesting points beign brought up here:

http://gofuckyourself.com/showthread...hreadid=188753

If this is true , I think the lawyers should be made aware of this because I belive that would be concidered extortion, black mail or what ever you wanna call it...

I'm waiting to get this shit in the mail too.. I don't have any streeming video ..just hosted galleries. I think think the people that are getting these packets that don't fit the criteria should get together and file a class action lawsuit claiming black mail.

It's your personal choice.

If I received a letter I'd pledge to FTPF (no money taken, just a pledge) I'd donate to IMPA and I'd get in on the lawsuit with HomeGrown - Far-L

That's just me.

Cant the guy tell if he uses unique account names for every sponsor

Name the sponsor you THINK it might be. They will come here and defend themselves if they didn't . Saying someone MIGHT have is not slanderous and you're not accusing them of doing it for sure. And it's entirely possble that they didn't

I use unique identifiers.. this guy didn't.

You might have something there... demand letters for non-offending companies is not appropriate

another idiot who wants to goto a judge and say "some guy was saying bad things about me on a chat board named GoFuckYourself"

Brad I for once agree with you 100% on this
