Impulse Media Prevails in CAN-SPAM Case
Of the adult companies charged with violations of CAN-SPAM in 2005, Impulse was the only one to fully litigate charges against them, instead of settling with the FTC

By Q Boyer
Monday, Mar 24, 2008 Text size:
SEATTLE ? A Seattle jury has returned a unanimous verdict of no wrongdoing on the part of Impulse Media, better known within adult industry circles as SoulCash, in the company?s CAN-SPAM trial.
After deliberating for approximately three hours, the jury returned its verdict in favor of the defense ?a ruling that came to the immense satisfaction attorney Rob Apgood, who represented Impulse in the case.

?I?m on cloud nine,? Apgood told XBIZ, adding that Impulse and its owner Seth Schermerhorn are to be commended for having the ?fortitude to see this thing all the way through.?

?I?ve been saying all along that [the government] was wrong, and I?m glad that somebody stood up and said, ?No ? I?m not going to take this,?? Apgood said.

Apgood said that he was confident that the jury would rule in favor of the defense, but ?you?re always a little nervous when it goes to the jury.?

In order to prevail in its case, Apgood explained, the government had to show that there was specific intent on the part of the defendants to induce affiliates to promote their sites via email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act ? a burden of proof that proved a bridge too far for the government, Apgood said.

?There simply was no evidence presented that supported that contention,? Apgood said.

At one time, Apgood served as counsel for Cyberheat in its CAN-SPAM case, an action which the company recently negotiated a settlement of with the FTC. Apgood was no longer representing Cyberheat at the time that case was settled.

Hell yah! Fight teh powerz.

I dont even want to know what the legal fees were in a fight with the Government for 4 years

Seeing that everyone else settled I am sure it was expensive

Seth did a huge thing for all affiliate programs out there by sticking to his guns that he didn't violate any laws.

where most tucked their tail and crumbled Seth stuck it out and won!

I treated all my webmaster equal but it REALLY sucks when you know good people who I consider friends are going unpaid. All I can do is break you off when I can and apologize for the delay.

Hang tight Rabbit,

Why on earth would you continue to do biz with a company that didn't pay you for X amount of months.

because before all of the FTC issues soulcash paid on time everytime. I could see if he ran off to Curacao with affiliate money and said c'est la vie but he lost the program due to fighting for ALL adult webmasters rights especially program owners. I have no doubt that when Sixnine gets rolling again everyone will be paid.Sixnine has always EARNED my traffic and he will continue to do so in his next venture

I couldn't agree with you more! He didn't run off with anyones money, he took a beating from the government that was sueing him for millions of dollars for something what was out of his and any affiliate programs control.
