    Well, iBill fucked my ass good this week.

    Check out this lovely email I found today when I returned from vacation. Should have stayed in fucking Maui.
    Dear iBill Client,


    Please provide us with the licensing agreements from any celebrity whose
    image is available on your site for download.

    In order to avoid a suspension in processing, and possibly the termination
    of your account, please provide your licensing agreements to us within 24
    hours. Please fax the information to 954-363-4408 or 954-363-4409, ATTN:
    Compliance/ (account number).


    Thank You,
    Compliance and Fraud
    iBill
    That's fucking it, after 4 years of business, made them god knows how much money over those years. Checked today, my shit has been suspended and is no longer accepting signups. If I get my 12/15 check I'd be fucking shocked. Glad I paid them that fucking VISA fee!

    So, where do I go from here, peeps? So far as I can tell, I have three options:

    1) Start again with a new processor.
    - Which processor? Which processor isn't going to fuck my ass for the same shit?
    2) Get back into the freesite game.
    - God I hope not. I just don't have the time these days.
    3) Sell the site and get outta the game entirely.
    - I'm fucking leaning toward this option. I've fucking had it with this shit, it's made me a crapload of cash but the headaches are beyond painful lately. But then, who the hell buys paysites? Hell, if you're interested, the site makes 50k/year with no overhead other than bandwidth and a few hours' work doing updates and shit.

    Advice, por favor muchachos.

        Why not just send them the legal documents? You do have those don't you...

                I'll run the site for you and mail for it like crazy to my opt in lists, you do nothing, and we'll both make a lot more than $50k/year.

                Don't sell it while it's suspended like that, you won't get close to what it's worth, and would have sold for last week.

                    Mr. Skin is legally allowed to post the content he does. There are ways to get around celeb laws.

                      I can't believe you got away with the Fast Times logo etc. You're lucky its only Ibill complaining and not Paramount suing you.

                        Hah, no, I don't run celebticket.com, that's a trafficcash site. I switched my index over to a sponsor because... well, I can't fucking process credit cards right now. Real site is at http://www.celebshop.com/fuckyouibillindex.html

                        In any event, I'll use the rest of this post to discuss the realities of running a celebrity site.

                        1) Paramount, Maxim, or virtually every other movie house or magazine publisher (aside from Playboy and P-10) do not police the net for celebrity sites. I haven't heard of one recorded case of any of those companies going after celebrity sites for posting scans/vidcaps etc.

                        2) Individual celebrities, or those who enlisted in Cybertrackers (Alyssa Milano's mom's company) sometimes request that you take down pictures of them via email, and threaten legal action if you do not. Basically it's a cease-and-decist letter, and so long as you take the shit down, there are no problems. I've gone through this with about 20 different celebrities.

                        3) You have to understand, doing this is not illegal per-se in the criminal sense - you're not going to go to jail for it. Thus, the only thing they can really do is sue you to recover civil damages for copyright infringement. Let's be honest, we all know how much lawyers cost (I happen to be one), no company is going to pay a law firm tens of thousands of dollars to recover basically no money from a small-time fuck like me. See #2, which is all they do.

                        As I said though, I don't want this to be a friggen moral/legal debate, I'm looking for options here.

                                  Sorry, maybe I should have started another "OMG IBILL DIDN'T UPDATE THEIR CMI STATS AT 12:01AM LIKE THEY SHOULD" thread.

                                  Fuck off, you're not being helpful. And in any event, the content might be illegal, but it's not fucking stolen. Like I said above, if Maxim/Paramount/whatever were really concerned about scans and vidcaps, they'd be doing something about it. The copyright owners aren't pissed, it's the celebrities who don't own the copyrights and are trying to enforce their non-existant rights with the threat of lawsuits to the deep-pocket folks (IE, processors) who are the problem.

                                      I'm not bashing you. Either IBill recieved specific complaints about content on your site, in which case you probably want to remove that content, or they are just covering their asses so they don't get sued. Granted the 24 hour timeframe on that email sucked, but call them up and find out what's wrong. If they just want licenses for their files send them something.

                                        etc etc etc all run celeb sites.. and nobody is treating them like this.

                                        is that not 'stolen' content aswell?
                                        I see no problem with a celeb site, downloading mp3s, buying pirated dvd's and software. The distrubuters need to protect thier shit better. How is this any different than a password site?

                                        many many times ppl bitch about 'Oh if your members area isnt secure, then you deserve to be on a password site' right?

                                        this is the same shit if you think about it.

                                        Just cause this guy is small time , that makes him an easy target by the gfy mafia? lol thats pretty gay.

                                        I rape kazaa with anything that i need. why? cause im a cheap fuck that doesnt like to pay for shit when i can get it for free. Until it is protected, I will continue todo so. Its not my fault the distrubution companies are so greedy that they forgot to protect thier shit better before it was released to the masses.

                                        fuck off all you haters, pimpdog is in the house !!!

                                          I expected what I asked for, a civil discussion of my options. I'm not going to continue to debate the "stealing" aspect, as I know where people stand on that, and frankly I agree - when it comes to normal adult content, I would never (and have never) traffic in stolen shit. Celebrity stuff occupies a grey area simply because copyright owners (aside from P-10 and Playboy, as I said above) don't care, for whatever reason. Hell, like Mr. Skin, maybe they like the promotion. Point is, the only people who complain are a select few celebrities that don't even own the copyrights to begin with, and I've dealt with those folks cordially already.

                                          If it makes it any easier, let's discuss this as if I was a "normal" webmaster in this predicament. Switch processor? Switch game? Sell?

                                              Fuck off, you're not being helpful. And in any event, the content might be illegal, but it's not fucking stolen. Like I said above, if Maxim/Paramount/whatever were really concerned about scans and vidcaps, they'd be doing something about it. The copyright owners aren't pissed, it's the celebrities who don't own the copyrights and are trying to enforce their non-existant rights with the threat of lawsuits to the deep-pocket folks (IE, processors) who are the problem.
                                              don't sweat it, this board is full of retards who like to bash ppl for "illegal" activities and then go shoot some pedophile content or spam 30 million e-mails

                                              i suggest you get another processor - there are many of them.
                                              maybe try paycom.net - babylon-x use them i think.

Either IBill recieved specific complaints about content on your site, in which case you probably want to remove that content, or they are just covering their asses so they don't get sued. Granted the 24 hour timeframe on that email sucked, but call them up and find out what's wrong. If they just want licenses for their files send them something.
                                                To be honest, what bothers me (as I've said before in this thread) is that I'm getting fucked not because the copyright owners are pissed, but because a very vocal minority of celebrities who have NO LEGAL RIGHT to the pictures I'm distributing. Just like in so many other instances in this country, the little guy gets fucked because paying attorneys to defend you is far more expensive than it's worth. Again though, I'm not trying to make this a moral debate, I'm attempting to dwell on my personal financial options.

                                                Also, yes, the 24 hour timeframe was fucking ridiculous, and to be honest a lot of you holier-than-thou folks should be concerned about the day that iBill starts getting legal threats over so-called "obscene" content, because let me tell you, that's the next fucking thing to go.

                                                P1mp and Pro, thanks for the voice of support, it's appreciated.

                                                  Since I am in a generous mood tonight, and you didn't grasp the subtle hint that was dropped already, allow me to spell the solution out for you in 5 easy steps..

                                                  #1: Open Notepad

                                                  #2: Find typical licensing agreement legalese on Google

                                                  #3: Cut & paste legalese into notepad

                                                  #4: Insert relevant domain name + celeb name(s)

                                                  #5: Send to IBill

                                                  Very likely they are just looking for something to cover their own asses with, otherwise known as plausible deniability. If it doesn't work, you're in no worse shape than you were before.

                                                        Makes sense... but we're talking about over 4,000 different names here. And they want a fucking FAX... jesus. Almost simpler to switch processors.

                                                          Holy shit thats alot!

                                                          Maybe only send them the celebs on the tour.. or the really popular ones.. and see if that satisfies them? I'd still have a backup plan for switching to another processor, but it might get them off your back.

                                                          If your site is of any size.. and it sounds like it is.. it'd probably be worth it even if you just got to keep a few more months worth of rebills.

                                                          Good luck

                                                            Hm...
                                                            Interlude, here's what You should do first of all - call Ibill.
                                                            And dont make it a scene, just speak with them the normal way.

                                                            Because the thing is that Ibill almost always MIGHT direct You the right way, i.e. may be show You a company which will work better for You, especially since You were a client for 4 years.

                                                            The thing is - Ibill has troubles. This has happened before although not that bad.

                                                            When they have troubles they HAVE to get rid of what is called "questionable" content.

                                                            That includes: rape fantasy, bestiality, incest and...comix, anime, celebs. That's several millions of dollars per month of turnover so it's not easy for them either.

                                                            But the real problem is that when they simply ban people, some of those banned guys tend to make new domain names, new companies and simply come back and that is why they prefer if they know how to forward such a client to some other safe place so he wont need to come back.

                                                            The real problem if You ask me, is that NO ONE right now gives a fuck what's LEGAL and what's not.

                                                            I see that there used to be just 1 billing company which has operated the right way, by the exact book of law, not giving a fuck about what anyone says and therefore independent and very well protected because 100% legality gives a good protection , and that company was Ibill and because of this standart they have reached their great turnover and profit.

                                                            And we have a bunch of fucking pussies imitating it since the day 1 and crying all the time "shit Ibill is so big, shit Ibill is so bad, Ibill is..." and we have a bunch of board players who almost go nuts of how important they are cause oh shit one of them has a used ferrari and damn pissed off that Ibill doesnt give a fuck about who or what they are. Lol...

                                                            Now when Ibill has some serious problems fucking pussies get scared and the board crowd gets happy beyond beleif and that's basicly it. People dont even understand how fucked they are.

                                                            Lets see them as You , Interlude, mentioned when their sites get fucked for obscenety laws.

                                                                is that not 'stolen' content aswell?
                                                                I see no problem with a celeb site, downloading mp3s, buying pirated dvd's and software. The distrubuters need to protect thier shit better. How is this any different than a password site?

                                                                many many times ppl bitch about 'Oh if your members area isnt secure, then you deserve to be on a password site' right?

                                                                this is the same shit if you think about it.

                                                                Just cause this guy is small time , that makes him an easy target by the gfy mafia? lol thats pretty gay.

                                                                I rape kazaa with anything that i need. why? cause im a cheap fuck that doesnt like to pay for shit when i can get it for free. Until it is protected, I will continue todo so. Its not my fault the distrubution companies are so greedy that they forgot to protect thier shit better before it was released to the masses.

                                                                fuck off all you haters, pimpdog is in the house !!!

                                                                Looks like you have this attitude..if you know my door is unlocked ...you rob my house. Nice.

                                                                    The copyright owners you talk about may not complain, but the celebrity herself can still complain and start a case against you. Why? Becasue most of them don't want to see themselves associated with porn.

                                                                    The big problem is that there is no legal celeb content available to buy. Therefore this business is a dying business. Sites like MrSkin as still up, because they have transformed themselves into review sites. Right now this is the only way to get your celeb site online these days. Anyhow I still think they have to deal with lawsuits from time to time.

I say fuck it and Ill take it if its available. Like I said, If they are going to distribute this stuff so blindly, then I will exploit it with no remorse.

As long as he didnt give you permission to use it, you are using it illegally. So you take adventage of his weak point. Because everybody is doing it doesnt make it right.

IBill has no choice but to comply as do whoever is hosting the website.

                                                                              And the guy who posted that 2000charge's head office is in Los Angeles. Nice going stupid ass. If you don't think there are lawyers watching this board, then you are very wrong.

                                                                                As for your processor trouble, it goes with the territory you are in.
                                                                                Just like having your legal, hosting, etc. tight.

                                                                                There are plenty of processors who will take your biz though.

                                                                                I know at least one BIG TIME Celeb webmaster ;) and I don't think he is having any troubles with U.S. based processing.
                                                                                (not me).

                                                                                ===>

                                                                                Just fucking admit what you are doing is wrong ethically, perhaps even illegal.
                                                                                Then go about your biz.

Any of you who are bashing celeb sites please publish the URL of your 'leagal' website and I will name at least 10 laws that you are breaking. Free Porn is illegal, porn previews are illegal and so on. I won't even start with a list of countries you shouldn't travel to or you might be executed for what we all are doing.

                                                                                      Ok no to the ibill issue. I gotten the same from ibill and I have reacted. I send them emails of movie companies sending me content, I send them a lot of legal stuff but they still banned any site that has celeb in the domain. I kicked them from all my sites as soon as the notice came in and they are still processing my rebills. If they don't send out my payments for the rebills they will get sued due to fraud.

                                                                                      The problem I have that those people at ibill are totally unprofessional. I cannot talk to anyone in the legal departement by phone and those fucks don't answer emails. I have emails dating back as far as 1997 stateing that ibill has no problem with celebrity content. They better pay up or I will bring them more legal trouble than Norman Zadeh can.

                                                                                      IBill will be finished in the adult business because they suck ass when it comes to customer service. CCBill seems so much more sophisticated when it comes to that.

                                                                                      I will be using dutchbilling.com for now. I emailed them and they stated that they are ok with celebrity content. They are based in Holland and therefore US laws seem not to important to them.

I've seen'em many time on this board asking what's the best to down load music with. And then turn around and jump on someone else for having some Non Lic. content or the Lic. is screwed up. This world is full of fucking bigots or maybe I should say fucking ass holes. And then you've got the 1's that really enjoy it when someone is down or needs some help, they love it.

                                                                                                    from their website:

                                                                                                    To protect itself from unforeseen circumstances, DutchBilling will hold 10% of all transactions as a reseve for 6-months. This reserve covers DutchBilling in the event your site becomes unreachable, or there are other circumstances which will dramatically increase the potential for customer charge-backs or the need for customer refunds.
                                                                                                    DutchBilling will charge USD 15.00 plus the value of the transaction per chargeback. A charge-back is an automatic debit of charges incurred plus an administrative fee by the merchant bank to compensate the issuing bank - which on behalf of a customer reversed a charge on that customer's credit card. There are a number of reasons a charge-back can occur. Most often it happens due to fraud.


                                                                                                    that reserve is kinda high (10%..ccbill 5%) and they pass on the chargeback fees (ccbill doesn't)
