Curious to see how their suit against verotel plays out in this.

Go, Evan.

Thanks Stephen, it was rumoured that it was going to happen

wdsguy · 09-11-2006, 05:10 PM

knew it was gonna happen.

heywood · 09-11-2006, 05:10 PM

As much as I hate to say it, I expected this long ago...

Fresh · 09-11-2006, 05:11 PM

Exactly. Verotel accepts payments for a lot of fringe/celeb type sites I wonder if they'll discontinue the practice if they lose the suit.

RRRED · 09-11-2006, 05:14 PM

Woohoo drinks are on Evan!

SiMpLe · 09-11-2006, 05:16 PM

Defendants named in the suit include CelebrityCash parent company ICG Entertainment, CelebsUnzipped parent Tarasant, FreeCelebrityMovieArchive parent Adult Profit, MrSkin parent company SK Intertainment, PaparazziFilth.com parent Web Traffic Inc., and Verotel Merchant Services, the billing company for CelebsUnzipped.

There it is...

brand0n · 09-11-2006, 05:16 PM

Stephen, it was a pleasure seein you + your lovely wife in fl.

Scootermuze · 09-11-2006, 05:22 PM

.... took images and derivative works from the Hilton video and used them in tours and on their sites, resulting in the dilution of exclusive content.....

Seems to me that the content was diluted long ago when it could be found anywhere and everywhere...

Mr Skin too?

Barefootsies · 09-11-2006, 07:57 PM

It's always some greedy fucking shithead who ruins things for the rest of us in the celebrity niche.

Fucking A...

D-Money · 09-11-2006, 08:05 PM

Interesting.

and sig placement....

Pleasurepays · 09-11-2006, 08:07 PM

No one can say they weren't warned

and although i am no fan of lawsuits.. i am also not a fan of the lawless attitude of people on the web.

xNetworx · 09-11-2006, 08:09 PM

I stopped fucking with celeb sites back in 2000

$tandaman · 09-11-2006, 08:11 PM

Hrm... Mr Skin is the only name i recognize..

I recognize a few of them. But with these celeb sex tapes almost anyone who's been in this business long enough knows not to fuck around with that shit unless you have the rights.

But still, every time, there is some lawsuit because people are mass marketing it, or whatever the case is. Then it sours the billing company, and next thing you know anyone in that niche market has to change again.

The greed of this business (while in any) is appauling at times. It's a lot like the scorpion and toad cliche.

the funny thing about fucking around with this video is that EVERYONE KNEW who had full rights to that video. Everyone.

Exactly.

I mean if you have been in that niche for any amount of time, you know to stay away from it, or pretty much ANY celebrity sex tape. If you do not get the lawsuit from the company who owns the rights, you are going to get it from the celebrity, or one of her reps.

Sex tapes will bring you more grief than just about anything.

I would say it ranks higher than Perfect 10, Playboy, and Suze Randall. Most people know this shit is something to stay away from. But with each new celebrity sex tape, you always hear of some fucking greedy dickhead mass producing, reselling, or cutting into the profits of the company who has the rights.

But she must have signed the forms, yep?

So where's a copy of the filing?

"Over the last couple of years, Salomon has sued Traffic Cash Gold and Consumption Junction for copyright and trademark infringement."

Never knew that

That would be interesting to know what will happen.

Why is Verotel the only processor being targeted? Don't some of the others use paycom or ccbill, etc?

short answer: please read the complaint as it is detailed.

longer answer: Verotel has continually ignored DMCA's and their prior settlement agreement from Rick's case previously and continued to support infringing site owners' abilities to process.

Rhino22 · 09-12-2006, 01:20 PM

great, more lawyers

"This lawsuit is only the start of stopping the widespread infringement of the rights in the Paris Hilton sex video," Berra tells AVNOnline.com. "XPays intends to continue seeking out those who refuse to honor its well-established rights."
