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:

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

not much. but its all i can. lol

something interesting i came across http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1310010,00.asp

"So far, only one company appears to have escaped Acacia's grasp: Holio.net, an adult content provider. According to court records, Judge Alicemarie H. Stotler tossed out Acacia's compliant of patent infringement on Sept. 10 without prejudice; so far, Acacia's amended complaint of patent infringement has not been used. "

Can they come after the affiliate if their using hosted gallys?

jDoG

find out for sure and I will add them to the list.

time to give kimmy a bitch slap.

no attorney sends out ANY proper legal noticication as regular (unregistered) mail........

anyone with video.. or who links to video

nah, I'm gonna go play videogames

YOU find out :)

That was MY comment dingbat. :)

noticication?

that cant be right... almost every website on the net links to some site with video...

:thumbsup

I should clarify: If you have video on your site, that is hosted on your server, or another server, you are in violation. If you promote, through an affiliate program, a site with video that hasn't signed with Acacia, you are in violation.

not registered - no proof of receipt. - thus no noticication.

what if you link to a plugin of videos with its own interface that opens in a new window?

That's what I thought...But some ppl said I'm wrong in this

This is very interesting. I wonder what the status is now.

Thank you for this information.. this is great!
