Why do sponsors think it's okay for affilates to use stolen content?
It seems nearly every sponsor program I contact about webmasters using stolen content (of mine) they couldn't care less. It's like pulling teeth to even get them to reply to you for the most part. Out of all the sponsors I've contacted over the years, Sunnydollars is the only one who took action to suspend the affiliate.
So what the fuck is your issue affiliate programs? You don't care that they're stealing from us to send you money? :321GFY |
Just like they don't seem to care if people are using hacks and spamming kids to make signups.. it's ALLLLLLLLLL about the bling.

:( not good, not good at all :(
|
I steal content everyday.
Sometimes I even steal two of them. |
i wonder what some of the sponsors responce is, or if they will even comment?

It's funny. They get pretty pissed off when people steal THEIR content, but as long as nobody is stealing theirs, it's ok for them to make money off of content stolen from someone else. |
nobody cares about content people - never have never will. only thing people understand is being served with a lawsuit.

can file with the court for their financial records to prove that monetary damages DID occure. Would also put a end once and for all as to who's shaving if they knew one bad affiliate could make their finances public record. :winkwink: |

It's shit like this that kills the industry a little more every day. People wonder why this industry has a bad fucking rep, it's because it's the industry that's MOST LIKELY to support and even applaud theives, crooks, and assholes. There are some exceptions to the rule, but for the most part, this is the truth. |
OzMan... you should spend more time reading or thinking about what you've read and less time sticking your foot in your mouth. :glugglug
|
money driven and how many lawsuits have the content producers filed? next to none. Quit bitchin and start send lawsuits, cryin about it will achieve nothing. Pull an Acacia and file a barrage of lawsuits against some hefty sponsors. Wont happen cause those hefty sponsors may do business with you. :glugglug

And honestly, I don't want the business of ANY sponsor who supports fucking thieves, because they are shooting themselves in the foot in the end. I don't care HOW big or small they are. |

the way it sounded to me, that people were taking gfx off hosted gallery sites, and reusing them to promote the same site

And shaving happens, if it didn't many programs would not survive. I don't think it's right, but from a business perspective I can see why it happens. It's not my cruisade though. The thing that REALLY chaps my ass though is, the bigger the program, the less they REALLY need the money (in terms of hoew much they make), the less they seem to give a fuck about the crooks. |
stealing is stealing, i know personally i would not do any biz with anyone who has stolen from others... i know this is a ruthless biz and some people say there are no morals with some people, but when you work hard and produce quality content just to have it stolen it is like a kick in the teeth, i respect your views 200% jact and ladym ... best of luck :(

ars turns off accounts that steal content after one warning.
maybe you could give a seal of approval to paysites that don't allow this practice and respond in a timely way. you could have a site listing these responsible paysites, as well. and if the word gets out, some webmasters will be careful to promote sites who don't allow such practices. we don't, but we're small. |
vet: but don you think that attitude is what gives this line of work such a bad name?
|
True,
But if you don't register the coypright in a certain period of time...you can't file suit later:2 cents: |
