Adult Empire Stealing SpookyCash Content - GoFuckYourself.com

AmeliaG · 09-07-2010, 02:24 PM

I happened to be looking at a few SpookyCash affiliates' TGPs today. And I noticed some tours in my niche, which I had not seen before. I try to stay on top of that sort of thing, so I went to check them out. They were all on Adult Empire, which seems like it is sort of an AVS, and they all contained content stolen from my program. Probably more stuff stolen my SpookyCash in the inside of their sites.

I tried to find contact info for them on their site, to ask them to remove all SpookyCash content, and to give me access to see what else from SpookyCash might be on their system. But the only thing in their FAQ suggested joining their forum. If they harbor lots of content snarfers, I hardly want to point more of them at my stuff.

Has anyone else had to deal with having their stuff stolen on Adult Empire? Do they make a habit of this sort of thing?

Who is behind Adult Empire?

Anyone have contact info for the Adult Empire people in charge?

AVS program out of Russia.
I hope that helps.

pixovore · 09-07-2010, 02:30 PM

ouch......

LeRoy · 09-07-2010, 02:34 PM

Not cool at all!

Hope this gets resolved.

garce · 09-07-2010, 02:49 PM

I signed up for Adult Empire years ago and still receive their regular mailings. I never used the program, because it looked like every site in the mailings was borderline legal - and not just stolen content.

There's some creepy shit in those emails.

Good luck with that.

In Russia you just hire a hit man for a few hundred bucks to take care of people like that.

That's why everyone who is anyone in Russia walks around with body guards 24/7. =D

Yep, that's what they do. Even the surfers know it.

Tried this when you posted it and so far no reply. I know different folks have different office hours though. So hopefully I'll hear back in the next day.

I believe you will. AE is an AVS and as far as I know they shut down all reported sites real quick. Take a look at their board where they publish the list of closed ones.

Try to create the ticket here: cs-ae.com/support/index.php
AVS sites are created by third-party webmasters (and some of them crooked) but support removes from system stolen content very quickly.

AmeliaG · 09-08-2010, 08:35 AM

Haven't heard from them yet.

During my time at ATKingdom, we caught them on MULTIPLE occasions stealing content. Not once, not twice, but again and again. So I feel comfortable in saying ADULT EMPIRE = THIEVES

oh well, add them to the growing list of content thieves on the net (tubes, torrents, forums)... hardly even post-worthy.

AmeliaG · 09-08-2010, 12:10 PM

Not a good sign that they have not responded to my ICQ or posted in this thread yet.

hashbury · 09-08-2010, 12:44 PM

Is the content from inside of your members area or is it affiliate given content? Im not sure exactly how they work, but we have affiliates that use sponsor content to make their avs sites, and then upsell to the sponsor site.

Lots of AVS systems have affiliate content which upsells the actual program. That is not, unfortunately, what this is.

Yo Adrian · 09-08-2010, 04:54 PM

From the looks of TBP's review page they've had their share of problems, including billing, due to these tactics. I'm glad you called them out on this Amelia, we need fewer of these companies in our industry.

just to clarify, I didn't mean Amelia's post isn't post-worthy. I meant, me making a post about how they are thieves and I caught them many times doing the exact same thing... stealing.

I hope Amelia gets it resolved because she's awesome!

Adult Empire on the other hand, sucks.

deadbabes · 09-09-2010, 06:37 AM

maybe it's another Suicide Girl's conspiracy. Sounds like something Sean would be behind.

Aw thanks. I took it how you meant it i.e. apparently Adult Empire taking stuff they shouldn't is unfortunately commonplace.

Kinda weird that they don't even seem to have a presence on GFY at all so far.

I'm DMCAing them now. I always try to resolve this sort of thing directly and in a chill way with folks, but, if they have been sent this thread and been ICQed and they haven't responded, then I guess they prefer doing it more formally. Kind of a bummer, but sounds like it is par for the course with these guys.

AmeliaG · 09-13-2010, 12:26 PM

Well, they gave me a pass and told me I should find all the instances of content abuse myself. Only I had to stop and spend my time cleaning malware off my computer, after just a few minutes of browsing their sites :-(

Alprazolam · 09-13-2010, 12:28 PM

why would anyone steal that shit?
