You know Dean a good approach would be to go after the sites using the banner. If I was promoting a company and I was approached by a content producer that by promoting that company's banner I was breaking the law guess which sponsor I'd drop in a hurry?

Yep I know. I've got to run out. I could post stolen stuff all day long from Horny Matches. Hopefully Sharky will do the right thing and clear out all the stolen material and make sure it doesn't happen moving forward.

Shap, Sharky is the guy that I introduced you too when you and I met up at the convention. I've known him for many years and he's a straight up guy. How he could get mixed up in a mess like this is beyond me. I wish him the best though - this is not good

Sharky take care of Dean's problem first. It's the easy one. When you guys are done with that mess I want my shit completely off your tools. Using my content in banners and even using my pics free hosted galleries? That's just plain theft.

In fact you want to do me a favor? send me at mrshap at twistys dot com the url to your free hosted galleries. I know you guys try to keep that url hidden since it's loaded with stolen content. Send me that link and I'll let you know just how much you guys have stolen from me.

I don't think it's right but people here seem to send AFF and Brazers a ton of traffic and both of them have fucked our industry. People support Nats and the owner of it was involved in the whole Porngraph deal but I guess people forget? Or megapornbucks caught shaving so they release a new program and continue on (Sexbankroll is the new company). Dirty Xsales etc.

I can go on and on about different companies.

LOL, they're getting what's due, finally.

So as well as bombarding ever site owner out there with spam emails every single damn day, they are blatant thieves too. I've had over 300 emails from them this year from their auto link script.

Shame they are ranking so well in google - perhaps a few (more) people would like to file some Spam reports to google, I'm sure that would hit them where it hurts.

RBGWebGroup

Hi,

My name is blah blah, and i represent the adult dating sites SexDatePersonals.com and HornyMatches.com.

We took a look at your site www.******.com- recently and are interested in a link exchange.with your(s) site(s).

Our offer is actually quite interesting, a 3 way link as opposed to a reciprocal link. You link to HornyMatches.com and we link to you on SexDatePersonals.com. We offer the best type of link exchange.
Also, SexDatePersonals.com has a very nice directory that we have been building so you are sure to find a category there for your site. If not, please just make your suggestion to us.

Here our link info:

Free Adult Personals [hyperlink]
www.hornymatches.com [website address]
Free Adult Personals [description]

Or our html as well
Free Adult PersonalsFree Adult Personals

Have a great day and i hope that we can do business with you in the very near future,

Regards.

HornyMatches.com
Sexdatepersonals.com

Just an update for you guys....

I talked to one of the owners of HornyMatches and was assured that big changes were in the works. I was told that all promo pieces with content that they couldn't find a license for would be replaced within 7 days. A fee was paid for the usage of my work without a license. And, I was told that they would be in contact with Shap immediately to resolve their unlicensed content usage with him. All in all, it was a very productive discussion and I feel confident that they are on the road to making things right for anyone who has been done wrong by them.

Thanks to everyone who offered their support!

-Dean

This isn't about a comparison of who's the worst.

Fact remains, theft is theft - and being dismissive of it because someone else is worse is ridiculously misguided.

if a sponsor fixes it after being called out, do they become "stand up" again?

you're not the most intelligent person on the board and i could definately waste some time breaking down what i was saying so even you could understand it.. but i won't.

i'll just try saying the same thing a different way and hope for the best.

they're obviously lazy and incompetent and don't care about glaring details that any normal human being would, so it should not come as a surprise that they have no issues stealing

Dean, Good to see you made some headway with this issue. Lets just hope they follow through and do what they assured you they would do.

And a bump for Shap.

Why do you have issues with the fact it's a template? It converts better than any other designs we tried - maybe because it actually looks amateur. Do you really think we cannot afford a better design? We have whitelabels with great designs all over the place.

It must probably be the template that brought in the most $$ in the history of templatemonster

It's also very easy to call someone lazy/insult them, especially if you don't know what's going on behind the scenes. You think you can just go from rags to riches without growing pains? Welcome to the real life.

good on you dean .. looks like to hit the nail on the head.
I on the other hand haven't been having any luck . I found some of my images in a print Magazine .. Sent a numb er of emails to them without respond. this has been over 2 years now so i let it go. Damn it's a real piss off when you see your work and you know that you never sold it to them.

good on you!

This sort of unapproved use of images is pretty common, isn't it?

I've known three girls IRL who have found various adult dating sites using their photos in banners/geo-IP ads without their permission...

For a good example.

Sucks.

This is a massive ad campaign that my photo has been included in. The advertisements were rolled out to myspace, webpage ads (one screenshot a friend took was while he was reading an article on cracked.com), a reader e-mailed me that they saw the ad while browsing mininova.org, who knows where else. I have received messages about it not only from online readers, but online friends, real life friends and EVEN FAMILY.

It must probably be the template that brought in the most $$ in the history of templatemonster

It's also very easy to call someone lazy/insult them, especially if you don't know what's going on behind the scenes. You think you can just go from rags to riches without growing pains? Welcome to the real life.
You are still a douchebag for using twistys, deans, and god knows whos other content to promote a dating site when none of the images being used will be in the dating backend.

You are stealing plain and simple, and you cant blame it on a designer.

Pretty pathetic on your part I must say.

Fact is it should never have happened in the first place but now that it has, well...It has to be obvious to you and your entire team that this issue has been handled badly.

And by badly I mean horribly.

I agree that its been handled horribly, and not only should the content have been promptly removed, it should also never have happened. We use designers and theres a level of trust, and I don't know every girl out there nor do I check every banner, there are many people and many teams. It's not an excuse though so thats why I already said that we take responsibility for what has happened. I'm just going to make sure there are new processes set in place to prevent this in the future (like obligatory 2257 subdirs when you do design work for us), that's all I can do now.
