Thanks for your note, Mr. Hoffman.

I certainly understand your concerns with the rumors that you mentioned. When we heard these same rumors more than two years ago, we hired an outside auditing firm to analyze our program's behavior to ensure that such activity was not occurring. After reviewing our programs, the IM Services auditing firm confirmed that our programs indeed do not interfere with affiliate commissions.

If you have any further questions on this or any other matter, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,

Subject: a concern regarding Zango software


Dear Mr. Stratz and Mr. Magnus:

I am an adult webmaster. Part of my business is advertising adult websites and enticing Internet surfers to click on advertisements for my affiliated business partners ("Sponsors"). I am paid a commission when Internet surfers purchase products and/or memberships from the Sponsors sites.

It has been rumored that your software ("zango"), when installed, interferes in the contractual relationship between my Sponsors and I, specifically by intercepting the communication that occurs when a user clicks on a Sponsor link on one of my websites and then redirecting that communication through a link set up by your company with that same Sponsor. The end result of that interference would be that your company is paid the commission that is due to me.

I have investigated your website and have seen no disclosure that your software operates in this manner. As I am sure that your company would not interfere in the contractual relationships between others, I would like you to kindly set the record straight.

Specifically, I would like for you to confirm that your software does not interfere in the business relationship and flow of commissions between other Internet companies.

Sincerely,
Ray Hoffman
