FearFactorPorn.com told to ShutDown
 

This is a press release that was just announced:

WWW.FEARFACTORPORN.COM TOLD TO CEASE AND DESIST BY TV SHOW LAWYERS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The adult website of www.fearfactorporn.com has just received a ?Cease and Desist? letter from a law firm representing the TV show ?Fear Factor?. FearFactorPorn.com was launched just two weeks ago on November 25, 2004. Like the TV show the website features contestants competing against each other in several gross/difficult/degrading stunts and games. However, unlike the television show that eliminates each of the three men and three women one at a time during three games, the website features three girls who play for points in mostly sexually oriented ?activities?.

In the letter dated December 10, 2004 (which can be viewed at http://www.fearfactorporn.com/letter1.html), the law firm representing Endemol USA Inc, the producer of the television series entitled ?Fear Factor?, claims that ?fearfactorfuck.com? is in violation of ?copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and misappropriation?. The letter also claims that the use of the ?Fear Factor? title and logo is done in an ?extremely unflattering, derogatory and pornographic manner.? The letter demands an immediate cease and desist of all elements of ?Fear Factor?.

Redslip, LLC is the small, 5 year old company behind FearFactorPorn.com. Company president Richard Prag claims it was a gamble from the start: ?We took a chance when we decided to use the ?Fear Factor? name in our website name and when we decided to use a logo bearing a similar resemblance to that of the television shows?. What I did not expect was for the lawyers to come calling so quickly.? But according to Mr. Prag the show will go on. He has no plans to shut down the website, although he is considering the possibility of changing the name and logo to a less ?controversial? one.

Sincerely,

Kevin Prag

interesting

No suprise there unfortunately, I saw a fear factor porn movie clip on Consumption Junction today and the 1st thing that went thru my mind was lawsuit.

Too bad, kind of a cool concept.

DH

No surprise here.

tooo bad it sounded like it would be hot

yup...not surprising at all...kind of dumb to use a domain name like that...and that logo...tisk tisk :2 cents:

You thought "it was a gamble?"

Pretty intuitive guy

Too Bad, Cool looking site and good idea

:)

WOW

that didnt take long. what a great mind you have rick.

you are one of the greatest adult marketers to ever take advantage of it all. keep thinkin man, i got your back on those ideas, everytime! keep it up. just plan your moves strategically.

airek

Soon as I saw the logo last week I knew the lawyers were soon to follow :glugglug

that's how it is

david and goliath


give up now:thumbsup

Didn't see that one coming... I saw the site last week and wondered how it was still up.

using that logo and that name the only thing they could have been thinking , is using it for the potential conflict it would cause.

tubbybucks rules.

takes balls to do http://www.nazin-i-g-g-e-r-s.com

I think it is funny how people think they can get away with that stuff.

:ak47: :BangBang: :ak47: :BangBang: :feels-hot

NO shit and I am sure posting things about it is in your best interest..

i just find it funny that two of the craziest, obviously gonna get shut down sites ive seen this week are from the same people.

publicity is publicity i suppose.

your sites rock BTW :)

fuck em.

The NN one is still Kickin

very interesting

my thoughts exactly.

Thx for the kudos man. :)

I'm glad i passed on promoting their gay site it looked promissing but to see their profits went to making trash like this makes me sick.

Anyhow :glugglug

this lawyers will do anything for some $$ huh?

ah, good idea to play on it.. you should send press releases out.

Hey Everyone! This is Rick, the guy behind TubbyBucks.com. It's great to see some support out there! Regarding this whole FearFactorFuck thing, I knew fully well that the TV show lawyers would grab ahold of this, and thats part of the reason I chose the name "FearFactor". This is a great opportunity to grab some publicity. Does anyone remember Bum Fights before they landed on news reports? Don't they say "there is no such thing as bad publicity?"

Anyway, the website isn't going anywhere. We have some unbelievable content that I really believe in. In fact, we're shooting two more episodes this weekend, so if anyone has a wacky idea they would like to see on video please share it! Worse case senerio is I change the name and logo on the site. Also, I'm making a new tour, so conversions should pick up!

Now, regarding the nn.com site some of you know about (if you don't know, ask a friend), it has been difficult to both host and process payments for. Apparently, even the liberal adult industry finds this subject "taboo". Everything we've done is completely legit and legal. I still think its a great idea, and there certainly isn't anything like it.

Well, thats all. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

It's that mother fucker Joe Rogaine that's behind all of this :BangBang:

I wonder how much lawyers charge to write those C&D letters? $1000+ for that one most likely

I can't even start to describe what I think about the nazi******s site.

:BangBang:

This will be great or terrible for them. I'm guessing great.

That is some real fucked up shit. I guess i won't be pushing tubbybucks anytime soon

I kinda thought that would happen the first time I saw the name. Good concept, though... perhaps a name change and keep on keeping on. :thumbsup

Good I hope they sue their Asses off while they?re at it.

I?m sure when that site was spammed to me a couple of weeks back, I had a look and seen a game that involved crapping on a girl head and seeing how far she could fling it.
No wonder there is so much heat on the industry.


EDIT: WAKE THE FUCK UP WEBMASTERS

good idea, now how do u plan to bill?

:disgust

why not just change the name and logo to something else?

seems like allot less drama.

:)

hehe

I would probally setup a domain + new logo...

and keep buying domains to get the publicity.. .this way the memberssite will always be up :-)

Well gee, what made you think those kind of blatant copyright and trademark infringements would just be passed off or glossed over by the tv network? Kind of stupid, if you ask me.

Question for Rick Prag

What about the traffic that I'm sending currently? I've been getting quite a few joins. Should I take down my links?

Do you plan on emailing affiliates. Basically, how does this affect business?

not stupid... pure genious:thumbsup If they can pull it off, another mill in the bank.

First thing I thought...all the affliliates sending traffic that are gonna get fucked by this dumbass. Actually, that are getting fucked now. lol :glugglug

You need your ass kicked

No drama = no free publicity :)

Of course this was going to happen now they have a members list that will probably stick with them if they just change the name and site design I would say it was worth it to them but I wouldn't have personally done that...

For any concerned affiliates: nothing has changed nor will change in the near future regarding fearfactorfuck.com or the affiliate site. Your traffic is safe! Take advantage of this opportunity to make some money. You could even dub promotions as "Join this controversial site before the corporate TV lawyers shut it down!"

I suspect that after a month or so some graphics may have to be changed and the name, but I will always keep the "fearfactorfuck.com" domain forwarding your traffic to whatever new name is selected, so no worries!

Not suprising. :2 cents:

true but with something like this free publicity could = large attorney bills.

if it gets in mainstream press they will for sure file a lawsuit. sure he will be making bank but his legal costs will also dent the wallet.

Good, I hope they wipe you out. Try being original, just too easy to ride someone elses coat tails?

Your racial hate site says alot about you and your ignorance.

A shame some well known sponsors in this thread send traffic to your crap. Let alone deal at all with the likes of you.
