The fine people at Hotmovies/Moviedollars have told me that they won't do business with me as an affiliate or as a studio if I won't fill in the field in their admin area that asks for my tax ID/social-security number. The problem? Their admin interface isn't secured - it's an http rather than an https site. I told them that I have no problem with giving them my tax ID if they want to keep it in their internal records but I'm not interested in having it on an unprotected server.
Doesn't it seem pretty fuckin' pathetic that a big, successful company that is obviously doing business with a large number of affiliates and studios won't take a simple step to protect their business partners from identity theft? They could at least do what AEBN does and have an obfuscated number (like xxx-xx-1111) on a non-secure server, right? I know that a significant number of people in adult are individuals using their SS number instead of an EIN and Hotmovies/Moviedollars must know it too because the form asks for "Social Security / Tax ID".
Has anybody else had any experience/problems with this - with Hotmovies/Moviedollars or other programs?
