DRAMA: How moviepass.tv/webmastersdirect works and why they are fucking scumbags
 

From their site:

http://www.moviepass.tv/terms.html
In other words, if the user installs the software and doesn't delete within 3 days, they demand ransom to get rid of the spyware.

Ofcourse, the user has to click for the terms (rather than just see the "I am over 18 years old and agree to the terms" and click "execute" - which everyone does), and then has to read a HUGE fucking contract containing this significant bit.

If you use this, you are scum.

Bumpizzle

Note: The Average User Will Never Even See This!!!

Wow aint that some shit! Good Find!

Not to mention that the vague "THAT WILL RUN PROCESSES ON YOUR SYSTEM." means they can run anything they want including use the surfers computer to send out spam emails.

I actually dumped them about a year ago...can't stand that bullshit

What a bunch of BS - that's asking for loads of trouble there.

After working 12 years online in this industry - I thought I had seen it all, guess not.

LAME

is this thread # 6 about them already ? Reminds me of another firm who recently advertised on here and probably wished they didnt:2 cents:

This is the kind of shit that gives our industry a bad name and makes people afraid to click "free trial".

sounds shitty... i aint fuckin' with them

Yeah, it is. And I hope to God that the outcome will be the same.

oy vey = oh shit in Hebrew

LOL, everytime a friend of mine start his computer he get's a moviepass.tv vocie and video reminder that he needs to extend his 3 day trial wich he absolutley positive never agreed to. He cant close it down unless he agrees to be reminded later everytime he starts up his computer :Oh crap

no shit :)

even you gotta admit Juicy - if they are putting that crapola on people's system that is BS mano...

You know it, I know it, and so does everyone else in this industry...

Ransomware: Trojans Demand Money From Victims
http://antivirus.about.com/od/virusd...ransomware.htm

...at least one commercial company employs tactics that some perceive as reminiscent of ransomware. Victims complain that MoviePass.tv (also known as MovieLand.com and MediaPipe) installs itself without their knowledge and displays intrusive pop-ups demanding a $99 licensing fee.

According to those who have encountered MoviePass.tv on their systems, there is no single uninstall entry in Add/Remove Programs and the terms of the licensing agreement expressly prohibits uninstalling the software.

what a bunch of scammers

PornKings, PlatinumBucks, EpicCash, Python and RageCash don't seem to know it. Either that, or they support it...

Punkworld,

We have worked with most of those companies that you mentioned there. I like them all and have a good biz relationship with them. I'm not going to talk shit about them either. This is the first I have ever heard about this new program but fuck that - I'd rather get spam anyday then spyware / ransom ware, whatever it is on my systems.

Moviepass.tv could easily go as spyware/ransom ware ......

Let's welcome the newest bunch of scumbags to the industry!

:thumbsup :1orglaugh

no matter what their TOS they're still liable if they break the law, just pointing the obvious I guess

funny that the scumbags haven't posted any response..
Hiding with their tails between their legs.
should take all this to all the other boards!!

They did... they said everyone is happy with their product and to email them if you have concerns...

Doesn't stop people from breaking the law all the time given the US is the biggest source of spam emails.


That fat site yours? is it new and are you getting any fhgs etc. soon? Also.. how often do you review submitted blogs to your directory? I know someone that submitted one awhile ago and never got a response or anything.

I know of at least one major (popular) sponsor who promotes MoviePass.tv in their exit consoles.

From learning more about MoviePass.tv I'm a bit surprised that they would be routing traffic to them.

Scumware :321GFY

Just giving the industry a bad name.

Companies like this are the reason consumers hate the porn industry and why laws are made to fuck us all.

:mad: i hate spyware :mad:

very good point :thumbsup

Yup. But it's all about the money, right?

A little money today, or a little money 10 times over if the surfer sticks around and buys more.

Ideas like this are just schoolyard bully bullshit, turn people upside down and shake them for the change in their pockets today, instead of actually selling them something they want and getting income, recurring, and potentially other sales.

Short site small minded small businessmen.

Ok, my father installed this shit and I have hard times trying to get rid of it. Anyone has a link with info on how to delete that bullshit from ones computer?
Thanks

Funny how they keep denying it.

I was considering using their program and tried installing the software on an older computer just to see what it did ... as promised, after three days you get an obnoxious popup all the time that plays music and shit and is a bit difficult to close down, let alone uninstall.

Needless to say I never sent them a single hit, and have actually given up on finding a legit "per install" sponsor.

No no, this isnt true because pornkings says so.

really?

oy i gotta take a vey right about now.

a few rotten apples spoil the whole barrell

I agree :2 cents:

Bump... ....

bump for scumware
