The Porn Nerd - Pwn3d!
 

I said right away when you announced that you were changing your identity that obviously Dreamworks contacted you about your trademark infringing domains ahead of the movie release and you called me a liar.

Then your explanation was the insanely implausible and downright insulting notion that you were intentionally destroying the brand you worked so hard to build as part of a plan that had been in place for a long time.

No apology necessary. I'm good.

OFF TOPIC

Nice_nick aka banned nexcom28 sucks dick for food stamps.

Shit happens!

On Topic. Harmon is fat fuck that still lives with his mum.

LOL I called him out for his bullshit before and he blew up on me haha.

it was his 5 year plan remember. He planned to work day and night for 5 years and then change the name you idiot. You are all fools. He owns dreamworks

There's a fair chance the deal included him not being able to disclose being hit by a trademark suit.

Deal, meaning "we're taking your shit and giving you nothing", right?

Well most of the trademark suits I've heard of involved the trolling party's lawyer saying something like:

"We want every cent you've ever made from that domain and all related businesses plus x million in punitive damages. But, since we're in a good mood today you can turn the domain over to us in the next 5 minutes and agree not to complain about it to anyone and we'll probably leave it at that."

TheSquealer strikes first & strikes hard.

Yeah laugh at somebody else's misfortune, kick 'em while they're down. What a fucking hero.

I went into this place to watch them train out of boredom after seeing the owner at a tournament. He was actually just like that Cobra Kai guy. He looked like him and acted just as bad.

It was really funny and confusing to watch because Aikido is all about peace and love and non-violence with no striking or kicking and it was being run by a complete lunatic who was just screaming at everyone and belittling them. He was also doing the same at tournaments when he'd do demonstrations... he'd randomly start yelling at his own students in front of maybe 1000 people as they were doing a demonstration.

Very bizarre... a little tragic... but also super funny because he looked and acted exactly like the cobra kai dude. Thats all i could think of as I watched him.

Not many people in this industry work as hard as The Porn Nerd.. I have nothing but respect for him. Why do you feel the need to start threads like this?

Just a question.

My Official Response:
I cannot comment.

My Unofficial Response:
Shit happens.

To be expected I guess, poser control freaks can't ever ninja.

What's your point? And exactly what is it that you are successful at? Are you another baller webmaster that makes massive amounts of money, but no one really knows exactly how you do it?

My point? Just that a few others and myself pointed out the obvious fact that he had to change his name because dream works was coming after him for trademark infringement and he called me a liar and made up a convoluted, idiotic story about why he was changing it. Forgetting of course that any one who promotes him including you, are also subject to civil action by the rights holders.

That's why you should care.... and each hit you sent makes you legally vulnerable for statutory damages.

Why don't you go register cocacolaporn.com and call yourself Mr Coca Cola, design coca cola logos, upload coca cola videos to YouTube at great expense and build your entire business around trademark iand copyright infringement and subject all of your webmasters to potential civil suits for contributory infringement and keep us updated on how clever you really were and how much work you put into it so we can laugh at your idiocy and shortsighted, immaturity.

You're just another asshole. Just dredging up shit for no real reason. You're obviously not a working webmaster. You got nothing. But you're watching the forum aren't you? All day long.

It's like this industry is ran by semi retarded children sometimes.

Like I said, you are nobody in this business.

So other than all of that, kiss my ass.

It should also be said (as mr nerd was surely informed) that if they were to come after affiliates for aiding in and befitting from the infringement on their marks, it typically falls under the civil application of RICO (domain name = counterfeiting trademarks etc) which means not only statutory damages but statutory damages X3, so anyone sending traffic could have judgements against them for 6/7 figures.

But yeah, you're a genius and I am nobody.

The Porn Nerd,

I get that you are a loose canon and irrational - what you did was illegal, plain and simple. Anyone that sent you traffic is also liable. You illegally used someone's protected property and built an enterprise around it. That's not real hard to understand.

TheSquealer, are you a content producer? Are you a webmaster, affiliate sending traffic to other programs? Or do you have your own paysite? Or do you work in the industry in some other capacity?

Loose cannon indeed - I hit the wrong link and deleted the original post. If anyone can get it back I did NOT mean to delete it.

I DID mean to repeat Kiss My Ass tho. :)

Let me sum this up for you: I am not Coca Cola. But hey thanks for thinking I'm bigger than I am. I'm more like CC Cola. Anyone remember them? :D

You are nobody in this business. You are hiding behind a nick and just spouting shit. This board is full of assholes like you. Just so you know who you are to the rest of us. Go Fuck Yourself.

You are asking the wrong questions.

A few you should be asking...

"is using someones well known, registered mark as a domain as the universal resource locator and as a character/mascot identified with a commercial enterprise, a criminal act (counterfeiting the mark and using it for commercial gain)"

"did DreamWorks just send him a C&D/Demand Letter just asking for the domains"

"did DreamWorks and Mr Nerd agree on a settlement"

"if if there was a settlement agreement, did DreamWorks agree to indemnify and hold harmless affiliates for their participation in this criminal act and for also wrongly benefiting from the improper and criminal use of DreamWorks protected marks"

"am i liable in any way for my participation in this criminal act as an affiliate"

"do statutory damages apply in any way to affiliates by way of contributory infringement/contributory liability"

"will i be sued by DreamWorks before the statute of limitations runs out"

These are some important questions to ask that i can think of just off the top of my head...

But then again, he did lie about it all to begin with, so... its pointless to ask and expect a serious and legally responsible reply. So i guess most will just have to wait until the statute of limitations runs out to know the truth.

:2 cents::2 cents:

btw... i'm not an attorney... but i am smart enough to at least think things through.

Last comment on this dead issue: affiliates are not affected. So the rest is really none of anyone's business.

Have luck!

You mean... affiliates are not affected yet?

Or you are going on record to say with absolute certainty that neither you or affiliates will be held accountable for both your and their actions and that DreamWorks has given you this assurance in writing ?

Of course, if you were to say that, you would then be liable for that statement as well.

No one is affected until they are....

Looking at the trademark data you quoted, it seems to be new? 2012-2013? Wasn't Porn Nerd using that term for several years before 2012-2013? If he was, he could win the trademark case. A trademark needs to be active, and the term was used in commerce. So possibly maybe he was compensated to change his program to Porn Nerd. :2 cents:

hmmm interesting topic here, thanks Thesquealer

Can you cite a case where that has happened? I'm not arguing with you or looking for a pissing contest. I'm simply asking if you know of any instance where an affiliate marketer was forced by court order to pay 3x damages for unwittingly sending traffic to a sponsor that infringed on another mark or brand? I'd be very interested to know more about that case.

You can post it here on contact me off GFY any time. I'm not aware of any instance where anything similar has happened. Thanks.

aaaaahhhhhh , soothing, very sooooooothing :Graucho

give him the benefit of the doubt.
very well may have been a legal clause 4 non disclosure or maybe he was embarrassed about being in such a shit situation that was easily avoidable with a bit more business prep.

Either way stop rubbing it in...
Squealy... u seem intellegent go do something more productive than troll the gfy cesspool

I like your new name much better.

To be clear, I didn't say it happened (affiliates being similarly accountable under the law as the primary infringing party). I'm not going to look.

Plenty of affiliates have been sued for secondary infringement outside of adult... i am not sure that RICO would meet the tests and apply under any conditions as from what I am reading, its very gray and complicated. Too lazy to look it up or attempt figure it out. However, that does not mean that the plaintiffs can't simply insist its so, make that claim and sue for that amount anyway, leaving you to have to argue and prove otherwise at your own expense. I would guess they can argue that if you participated in any way to benefit the site(s), being the network was saturated with that name, displayed banners with the words/urls, used watermark videos etc etc etc you'd still be liable.

Haha.. i'm tryin' and you're right of course. . have a bit of free time and a bit anxious waiting on coders and designers. :)
