    Have you ever turned anything over to Acacia? Make a statement for those of us who don't know who's selling out the industry. I have no idea if you even signed with Acacia.

      A few people who have signed early, would love to put the smaller guys out of business, that's no secret.

      What is surprising of these claims is that these are companies who have recently made a deal with Acacia. If true, boycott is in order. Sell outs.

          Anyway: a few of the big players that signed contracts early

          Im sure about that. And inside affiliate information would only
          make that idea more acceptable. Dont you think?

          I doubt any program would actually supply acacia with affiliate info
          since it would be so easy to trace back.
          Well remember.... (company who signed) affiliates are safe promoting (company who signed) video products.. however.. they are not safe promoting their own video, or that of other affiliates!

          So wouldn't it make sense for a company to give affiliate info out to make those affiliates only promote their products?

          Something to think about. It makes cut throat business sense...

          And as Bradshaw said " Biz is biz, and in this biz everyone is out for himself and only himself. " ( this is his philosophy not mine as I've well demonstrated )

          What is your input on this?

              Why don't you take your own advice and tell us which company leaked your friends info?

                  More like to corner them to promoting only your product, and the few others that have signed.

                    The papers I got today shows the list of the big companies and basically says that if they did SO SHOULD YOU.

                    They also include c'net crap to back them up even more.

                    If I were on of the companies that settled would be pised even more because they are literally USING HUSTLERS name to scare people.

                    Like it or not this falls back negatively on the companies involved.

                      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                            Hustler, wicked, vivid, etc. made a business decision. They do so little on the net relatively that it made sense for them not to open themselves up to a potential lawsuit. I would also imagine they got a sweetheart deal. Do not kid yourself, almost everyone in this business is out for themselves, and themselves only. If Acacia told me, $1k a year and we will leave you alone, I would pay it in a second. A business decision.

                            Do not think that CE, SexCheck, Plat Bucks, etc are paying anywhere near 1-2 gross revenues.....


                            But, turning over affiliate info is another story.

                              I have strong sources telling me that Acacia is offering licenses for $5000USD flat per Quarter for Adult companies who gross more than $5,000,000 per year from membership sales.

                                He's not a "friend" just a potential business partner.. guy ended up screwing me over ( temporarily increased my liability.. not financially ) so I don't intend on calling him to find out. If I knew I would tell you.

                                I signed up for over 50 affiliate programs for a project I was working on a few months ago. I didn't want to get spammed so I gave each one a unique email and name.. so I could track who would spam me.. if I do get served... I will know EXACTLY who it is and they will ALL be posted here. I dropped a few of the accounts because they spammed me and sold my info to marketers.. but their info is still in my database.

                                These people will be held accountable.

                                Some of these companys tell you your info is private, if they give it to Acacia.. they are violating their own terms.
