    Will- Its possible that this is a self pic of Farrell but highly unlikely. I seem to recall pics of old where he was much younger and "substantial". I could verify this for you but I have no idea where those old Giffy Girls Cds are.

    Farrell - I think if people knew you and your business with the history of both recent and the past they would be more inclined not to label you a modern day Dr Evil.

    The amount of time and money HGV put into that bogus lawsuit for the good of the entire industry certainly has a lot of weight in the goodwill and charity department.

    At least for me.

    While others have forgotten it or are numbly unaware of it - its not anything that I will ever forget. For all of us that have videos on our sites - I thank you and your company for its tenacity to see that to its end.

    I realize there would be no tube debate had Homegrown and a coalition of site owners not stood up to a smarmy group of lawyers that thought they had pulled a fast one.

    You are my oldest friend in the business as we both know this precludes the internet back to the days of dial up. I guess very few people know you started out as THE good guy in this business.

    Sometimes we take different paths to get thru the hard times but I do expect to see you on the other side.

      It seems like people have forgotten who the true enemy is.

      Fabian stepped in, mostly everyone jumped in on him and then he stepped out and everyone is now arguing about each other.

      Don't lose sight of the ball...

        And still no answer from him. I can see he is reading this, but for some reason he dont want to answer my question. http://gfy.com/showpost.php?p=17353104&postcount=487

        He should invite me over, give me a tour through the company, and display some of that transparency he speaks so highly of.

          The fact that you and others keep up saying this over and over shows how little you pay attention to what I am saying, and how you just are taking the opportunity to spew crap.

          Pathetic.

          Where in here did I say it was alright to use our content without permission? I have made it very clear that we don't allow that and we worked to inhibit that from happening.

          Yet you keep saying this inaccurate accusation; what is your problem? I can't believe you are that stupid so it must be that you are just more concerned with trying to hurt our reputation by whatever means possible.

            your a douche, and everyone who reads this thread knows your a douche. I'll leave it at that and get off your jock now. Your own words speak 10x louder than anything I can post about you.

            Enjoy your cake.
            Stop with these silly misleading analogies. If you read any of what I wrote then you would know that is not alright or what we are condoning. You and fris need to realize that just concocting these absurd scenarios and not actually responding to what I'm saying is the epitome of arrogance.

            You are like one of these government officials that did nothing to prevent the oil spill but now want to rail on the guy who volunteered to clean up the beach but can't do enough with the tools provided. So in essence, you neither avoided the problem or actually helped do anything about it other than point blame at the undeserving volunteer stuck in muck.

            So...

            You just earned the title of head blivet on the booger patrol. Now keep working toward your pissant badge. Congratulations!

            (blivet- ten pounds of horseshit stuffed in a five pound bag)

            So if I am a douche and you are using me to wash the sins of the industry away then you must be a stinky, itchy vagina. Take better care of yourself.

              the only reason i say that, its cause thats how brazzers/manwin/mansef feels, im not trying to attack you in anyway, i have respect for you and your company, im just saying this is how they feel about this issue, as long as you issue a dmca request and they will take it down, but thats after the fact they know whaty they are doing is wrong, they just try to do it for as long and to make a profit off others work until they are "caught" meaning a dmca is issued.

              The only thing i saw was your reply about lightspeed steves car being stolen and you saying it was ok as long as it made him money, or maybe i misread into that.

                My apologies - I am getting a bit sensitive for obvious reasons.

                I can explain that perhaps more clearly by saying that if my car is one of those that has been plastered with ads like a metro bus then someone driving it around before I got it back isn't hurting me too terribly. Inconveniencing, yes, but at the end of the day it was not a total disaster. Would I want them to ask next time? Yes. Would it be ok to do it with out asking? No. Of course not. But I blame myself for leaving the keys out and will take steps to avoid that in the future. Hope that makes more sense.

                  Hi Nathan / Fabian Thylmann ...

                  Still hiding?

                  For a self-proclaimed "Managing Partner" of Manwin, it appears that you know very little about managing damage control.

                  Your credibility diminishes every minute you remain silent.

                  What exactly is it that you are you afraid of?

                  We both know...

                  The FBI? Interpol? Surely not basic questions put forward by others in the adult industry, whom you asked to trust you...

                  You started this thread asking everyone to trust you, and yet you cowardly refuse to answer straightforward questions in an honest way, perhaps wishing the questions would just go away.

                  Meanwhile, the view count in this thread has gone up by thousands, and likely more and more people in the industry (and those monitoring this board) are starting to wonder what it is that you may be hiding.

                  Still you try to continue to hide, perhaps curled up in the corner sucking your thumb (or some other appendage of one of your masters/partners), unable to respond to very simple questions. That's not very becoming of a self proclaimed industry leader.

                  The funny thing is that this very past day you were caught lurking here on GFY. How sad and pathetic do you look like for that?

                  You and your handlers/consultants have had several days now to craft answers of any kind to the questions posed to you, yet like cockroaches, you and your "partners" continue to hide from the light.

                  Once again, here is another opportunity to come clean with the industry, and answer these rather simple questions:

                  1) Who are your partners/investors in Manwin?

                  2) What is your plan (besides hiding behind the ridiculous provisions of the DMCA safe harbor provisions, which hopefully will be changed soon) for ensuring that your Manwin company, and known/suspected associates/entities/properties (such as Brazzers, JuggCash, KeezMovies, PornHub, Xtube, ExtremeTube, Tube8, MovieBox, Sex In Your City, etc), quit screwing over the rest of the industry by seemingly engaging in allowing obvious non-copyright holders/employees to post long scenes (or any scenes for that matter) of videos which they have no copyright to on any of your sites?

                  3) What role, if any, do Stephane Manos (Man) or hahahahahahaha (oops, forgot, for some reason O-u-i-s-s-a-m, without hyphens, appears as hahahahahahaha on GFY) Youseff (Sef) play in Manwin's current operations?

                  4) Does Virage Media Limited still exist? If not, when did it cease to exist, and why? Are the former Virage Media Ltd properties now part of Manwin?

                  5) When did Manwin come into existence, and who are the partners/investors?

                  6) When did Manwin acquire Mansef? In March or July, or whatever date?

                  7) Is Bob Rice still a part of your Manwin operation? If not, when did he leave?

                  8) What business relationship/association(s) have you, or any companies associated with you, (such as Virage Media or HQtube and Xtube) had with Envisionext/Stan Fiskin?

                  9) What business relationship, if any, do you have with Jain Shaileshkumar (aka Sam Jain) or Bjorn Daniel Sundin (aka Daniel)? Some people here seem to think there is a money connection somehow.

                  10) Would you consider contributing some of Manwin's profits to an industry-wide anti-copyright/anti-piracy effort?

                  I'm simply asking questions which I perceive that you have repeatedly ducked, dodged, and otherwise parried from.

                  None of the information I have posted is personal (even if you or anyone else chooses to take it personally).

                  Most, if not all, of the info I have posted about, came from easily accessible public sources on the internet, such as LinkedIn, and Google searches of your name, your nicks, and your various company names, plus names of people associated (or said to possibly be associated) with you.

                  I assure you that I have not hacked into anything that is private or otherwise secure information. That is outside of my nature/proclivity, and skill-set.

                  If you wish to be perceived as a respectable member of the adult industry, by answering forthrightly, the simple questions which I have posed here, and prove yourself to sincerely and aggressively stand against content/copyright piracy (not just for your own content, but for the entire industry), then you may be surprised to find a strong ally in me.
                  By refusing to answer these questions, many people may possibly have to conclude that you indeed have something to hide, and are therefore untrustworthy, or that you may be too busy serving the hidden partners pulling your strings to come clean about your company:



                  What kind of man, if any, are you?

                  Quit hiding and answer the questions.

                            ADG,

                            One reason I am not answering your post is that you do not care about the answers anyway.

                            If you would care, you would not ask questions I have answered previously, neither would you act like a 5 year old and post pictures or trying to redicule me. All you care about is stirring this up over and over again, even me answering these questions again would just make you post some stupid picture and then claim I am just lying anyway.

                            The main reason I am not answering though is that you have not only threatened me, but you actually had the nerve to threaten my family.

                            This is not a game ADG, this is business. If all you can do is threaten, post pics and make confusing remarks to try to make me look bad, then I do not care what you think of me or Manwin.

                            I have invited you to Miami to talk, you declined that, I am not going to invite you again.

                            This is my last post in this thread. If you would have just been a standup guy and not resorted to name calling and threats, I would have actually answered your questions again. But you have stepped clearly over any rational way of dealing with this so the subject is closed for me.

                              If I saw a plan put into action by new/old/future ownership, that led to an effective identification, approval, or deletion of content, based upon known copyright/unlicensed status by the company, not only would I probably drop dead of shock on sight, but would probably actually stop my bitching about piracy. A no bullshit, no loopholes approach.

                              We know you license content, and have found an effective delivery method.

                              We also know a lot of content is available only because of assumed DMCA protection until a notice is received.

                              Put a system into place that actively monitors copyright status... If you have received a valid DMCA on a piece of content, do not allow it back through the system again. Content identification is not rocket science these days. Proactively monitor "user submitters" for patterns in unlicensed content. Be proactive spider content networks, and establish relationships to prevent further abuses.

                              If a valid, and immediate effort were made, it'd be a lot quieter around here. Sometimes it's just about what's right, not what we can get away, which this industry is too quick to accept.
                              I won't, can't, and don't want to speak for others, but I have not threatened... will not travel to FLA, but still would like to hear plain, simple answers.

                                Lots of people care, me included. Why invite him to Miami to answer a question in private we all want to know the answer to?

                                If you dont want to answer his question, then answer the one I had here http://gfy.com/showpost.php?p=17353104&postcount=487

                                Is Bob Rice telling people a lie? or are you?
