Could phone CCBILL and see if it's been sold on. So if you're an affiliate of smokincash you might want to ask the owners if you should be using the content.
So nice to see peoples reaction to a guy stealing content.  |
I realy don't want to make a 30 minutes-read post so i will sum it up. I bought the smokincash affilate program some months ago, on the transfer ALL the members areas got lost due a bad hosting move. We had to restore the member areas and contact all content providers that have been used than back to do so.
When the previous owner contacted Paul to restore the content he refused, when my host contacted Paul he said we had to buy all the content again, about US$ 2200, when i contacted him he told me each time a different price for re-licensing the content. I admit that it was my vault that i thought that the content was licensed to the domains which it turned out it wasn't. So there is no doubt that it was my vault, even if not with bad intention that the issue even occured. However, when i personally tried to deal with Paul he requested that his affialte program had to be removed from the public shitlist on another forum, which was refused. We asked several times to provide me links where exactly he sees his content so we can remove it which didn't happen.
However, today he
blackmailed me on ICQ and adx that if i don't pay 3 or 5 times the price for the content because it appeared it is used as well on the FHGs i bought with the program. I refused and asked another 100 times to tell me what his content is at all so i can remove it finally, which he again refused.
However, i admit that there is a license problem, no doubt, but it's not like we have gone into his site and ripped his content off, but bought a program that had no rights to transfer the content to the new owners, but ok, we admit that, but that doesn't mean automaticly that we can be
blackmailed.
As we have no idea what on the tours and FHGs is his content we messaged removeyourcontent to clean up the sites from all Paul Markham Content and await his response as this would speed up the process.
That's it, everybody can now make his own decission if we are scammers and pirates....
