Homegrown vs Voice Media Update
 

I'm talking to Spike at Homegrown, Farrell Timlake, and their attorney Dave Olsen... They had a big victory today.

It looks like Voice Media won't be able to bleed Homegrown. They have to keep sending Homegrown regular checks.

is this big news for the industry?

Yes it is!

I trust you more MikeAI than I do Luke. thanks.:thumbsup

not at all, doesnt effect the inddustry one bit
doesnt effect any single webmaster
it is a contractual dispute between CE and HG
and a publicity grabber for HG

I do trust you more than I do Luke:winkwink:

Slav he did not ask if it "effected" the industry.

He asked if this is big news. Since it involves one of the major
"left handed dealer" types it definately IS news worthy.

Think of the 2 sides in this dispute, and remember which one worked with Acacia, and which one is fighting them.

he asked if its big news the FOR the industry
and the answer is still NO.

is it big news for CE or HG? sure it is.

The facts of this case are pertinent to every webmaster who uses a sponsor program and every Producer of copywritten content. This is not a publicity stunt, it is a hard look at the way business is conducted.

IMO, it is important to make the issues as clear as possible since my integrity and the future of our business is at stake. Everyone is free to draw their own opinions based on the facts.

Farrell and the homegrown team - are good people - they wouldn't be bringing a case unless they were getting fucked.

Lawyers have enough money ... no point bringing a frivolous lawsuit ... I know people that are loyalist for both sides. But you're definately right Far-L , people should let the facts speak for themselves.

Hope you get what is owed

For the record, Luke has been the only one to date to report accurately on this affair. The omission of certain facts in other publications has in some cases put an unfair and inaccurate spin on the events that have transpired. This has been harmful to Homegrown IMO. To my knowledge, Luke has sought commentary from both sides.

And the reason for sanitized versions of the story has been made patently clear to me. No one wants to get sued by Ron.

Nobody knows the trouble I seen... Nobody knows my sorrow...
