when you say "confirmed" do you mean they are aware of what this company is doing or they just link to it.. google links to it and now gfy links to it. so i think if thats what your saying its pretty much an unfair generalization.

Of course you know who i'm speaking SPECIFICALLY about . that being spacash. Because i have not heard any complaints regarding this company before.

If they are indeed trading with them , they need to be notified first and given adequate time to investigate, respond and act on those complaints. If we make this a witchhunt it wont do any good , but make the argument invalid and we are right back where we started with nobody caring

Because i KNOW spacash does NOT accept this practise and will act accordingly and if they dont ill be holding your hand with you shouting that they are scammers

Ransomware: Trojans Demand Money From Victims

http://antivirus.about.com/od/virusd...ransomware.htm

Commercial tactics
Unfortunately, at least one commercial company employs tactics that some perceive as reminiscent of ransomware. Victims complain that MoviePass.tv (also known as MovieLand.com and MediaPipe) installs itself without their knowledge and displays intrusive pop-ups demanding a $99 licensing fee.

According to those who have encountered MoviePass.tv on their systems, there is no single uninstall entry in Add/Remove Programs and the terms of the licensing agreement expressly prohibits uninstalling the software. Instead, posters to various self-help forums across the Internet maintain that victims must follow a specific set of MoviePass.tv removal instructions in order to fully remove the program and stop the incessant pop-ups.

What do our sites have to do with the problem.. People are getting the credit for their sales, about 80% of the large programs out there have this on their sites right now, get back to the source of the problem... Test the shit yourself if you're so concerned just like I did, and smokey is about to do...

I went to my add/remove programs to uninstall, and that was that....
Leave this shit on your own personal system past the trial period and then report back here how easy it is to un install. What you are doing is wrong.

You know it's a funny day in this industry when most TGP webmasters have better ethics than the pay site operators.

The moviepass guys stated publicly that they promoted them and I went and checked and yes, they popup moviepass in their exits.. that's what the confirmed was for. i.e. confirmed that they promote the site. Since you know SPACash, you should contact them about this issue. I was just compiling a list and confirming what had been stated. I assume that these companies use things like hahahahahahahahahahahaha to see when their sites are discussed.. maybe a bad assumption.

When you guys push programs like that, you are putting yourselves in the 'bad neighborhood' area. I do my best to keep my links out of those areas.
I don't think you will like how the test turns out, THAT many users across the net having problems is pretty bad sign.

Did you notice on their 'download page' that whatever you click, even if just highlighting regular text, the download starts? Just another mark in my book.

I let the trial phase lapse I got a video saying I needed to pay now, closed that out, went into my control panel, uninstalled, restarted, ran updated microsoft anti spyware, then ran updated spybot search and destroy, nothing was found, and I was never messed with again... never prompted again for any renewals, did this on three machines on multiple IPs..

If I had something happen other than being able to uninstall, damn right I'd be pissed, I'd have some words on this matter too, but nothing came of the install so as far as I could tell it was ok...

I won't step on your values... because you have the right to them, I have no desire to fuck people... So I do have the similar if not the same values, but I did find nothing wrong with the install...
So a user gets the video. What's his response? Oh, no problem, I'll just close this out, open up the control panel...... they're not all that technically savvy. I think many would have a bitch fit first and then a lucky few will figure out how to rid themselves of the crap in less than an hour. The reest are off to google or looking for help from somewhere. Not the way to treat surfers IMO.

Technically I'm no match for the rest of you in the thread so call me names or what ever and carry on with your argument.

I care what happens to a surfer after he hits my site. I DON'T have the opinion that if I pass him off to a sponsor on an exit or click, "oh not my problem anymore". It reflects directly on my sites.
