FearFactorPorn.com told to ShutDown
This is a press release that was just announced:
WWW.FEARFACTORPORN.COM TOLD TO CEASE AND DESIST BY TV SHOW LAWYERS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The adult website of www.fearfactorporn.com has just received a ?Cease and Desist? letter from a law firm representing the TV show ?Fear Factor?. FearFactorPorn.com was launched just two weeks ago on November 25, 2004. Like the TV show the website features contestants competing against each other in several gross/difficult/degrading stunts and games. However, unlike the television show that eliminates each of the three men and three women one at a time during three games, the website features three girls who play for points in mostly sexually oriented ?activities?. In the letter dated December 10, 2004 (which can be viewed at http://www.fearfactorporn.com/letter1.html), the law firm representing Endemol USA Inc, the producer of the television series entitled ?Fear Factor?, claims that ?fearfactorfuck.com? is in violation of ?copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and misappropriation?. The letter also claims that the use of the ?Fear Factor? title and logo is done in an ?extremely unflattering, derogatory and pornographic manner.? The letter demands an immediate cease and desist of all elements of ?Fear Factor?. Redslip, LLC is the small, 5 year old company behind FearFactorPorn.com. Company president Richard Prag claims it was a gamble from the start: ?We took a chance when we decided to use the ?Fear Factor? name in our website name and when we decided to use a logo bearing a similar resemblance to that of the television shows?. What I did not expect was for the lawyers to come calling so quickly.? But according to Mr. Prag the show will go on. He has no plans to shut down the website, although he is considering the possibility of changing the name and logo to a less ?controversial? one. Sincerely, Kevin Prag Sales & Marketing, Redslip, LLC Phone: 858-505-8763 Email: [email protected] ICQ: 89172479

No suprise there unfortunately, I saw a fear factor porn movie clip on Consumption Junction today and the 1st thing that went thru my mind was lawsuit.
Too bad, kind of a cool concept. DH |

using that logo and that name the only thing they could have been thinking , is using it for the potential conflict it would cause.

Hey Everyone! This is Rick, the guy behind TubbyBucks.com. It's great to see some support out there! Regarding this whole FearFactorFuck thing, I knew fully well that the TV show lawyers would grab ahold of this, and thats part of the reason I chose the name "FearFactor". This is a great opportunity to grab some publicity. Does anyone remember Bum Fights before they landed on news reports? Don't they say "there is no such thing as bad publicity?"
Anyway, the website isn't going anywhere. We have some unbelievable content that I really believe in. In fact, we're shooting two more episodes this weekend, so if anyone has a wacky idea they would like to see on video please share it! Worse case senerio is I change the name and logo on the site. Also, I'm making a new tour, so conversions should pick up! Now, regarding the nn.com site some of you know about (if you don't know, ask a friend), it has been difficult to both host and process payments for. Apparently, even the liberal adult industry finds this subject "taboo". Everything we've done is completely legit and legal. I still think its a great idea, and there certainly isn't anything like it. Well, thats all. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Rick Prag [email protected]

I kinda thought that would happen the first time I saw the name. Good concept, though... perhaps a name change and keep on keeping on.

Good I hope they sue their Asses off while they?re at it.
I?m sure when that site was spammed to me a couple of weeks back, I had a look and seen a game that involved crapping on a girl head and seeing how far she could fling it. No wonder there is so much heat on the industry. EDIT: WAKE THE FUCK UP WEBMASTERS |

Well gee, what made you think those kind of blatant copyright and trademark infringements would just be passed off or glossed over by the tv network? Kind of stupid, if you ask me.

Of course this was going to happen now they have a members list that will probably stick with them if they just change the name and site design I would say it was worth it to them but I wouldn't have personally done that...

For any concerned affiliates: nothing has changed nor will change in the near future regarding fearfactorfuck.com or the affiliate site. Your traffic is safe! Take advantage of this opportunity to make some money. You could even dub promotions as "Join this controversial site before the corporate TV lawyers shut it down!"
I suspect that after a month or so some graphics may have to be changed and the name, but I will always keep the "fearfactorfuck.com" domain forwarding your traffic to whatever new name is selected, so no worries!

Good, I hope they wipe you out. Try being original, just too easy to ride someone elses coat tails?
Your racial hate site says alot about you and your ignorance. A shame some well known sponsors in this thread send traffic to your crap. Let alone deal at all with the likes of you.  |
