"""While the defendants did not send e-mail directly to consumers, they operated ?affiliate marketing? programs in which they paid others to send spam on their behalf. Under the CAN-SPAM Act, the defendants are liable for the illegal spam sent by their affiliates because the defendants ?initiated? the e-mail by paying others to send it on their behalf.

The settlements bar future violations of the CAN-SPAM Act and the Adult Labeling Rule. They also require that the defendants closely monitor the practices of their affiliate marketers to insure that they are not violating the law. BangBros.com Inc., based in Florida, will pay $650,000 in civil penalties; MD Media, a Michigan corporation, will pay $238,743; APC Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation, will pay $220,000; and Pure Marketing Solutions, LLC, a Florida company, and Internet Matrix Technology, a corporation based in Louisiana, will together pay $50,000. The settlements contain record-keeping provisions to allow the FTC to monitor the defendants? compliance with the orders.

In addition to the settlements, at the request of the FTC, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed suit in U.S. District Courts citing three other operations for violations of the CAN-SPAM Act and the Adult Labeling Rule: TJ Web Productions, LLC, a Nevada company; Cyberheat, Inc., an Arizona Corporation; and Impulse Media, a Washington corporation."""

Good luck ... Everyone and their moms knows that topbucks isn't a compagny that made their money from spam ... unlike a lot of others that weren't targetted

D-Money 07-20-2005 09:01 PM

I've always admired the Topbucks program and its success.

Best of luck with the road ahead.

Now webmasters have another reason to support Topbucks, the fight isn't just for them.
