Sure, Pornonada should/could have been more careful with his purchase, and he readily admits that. As they could not come to terms when trying to get the 'license' straightened out, Pornonada decided they should remove the content. At least this is the way I see that it went down.

Technically, Paul is right in this matter, but his handling of the situation was completely out of line. (Note that NONE of the other content providers for the sites in question had any problem restoring content, etc.)

Paul was unreasonable with his request to be removed from the shitlist. If all it takes is a little bit of trading/cash to get removed from a shitlist, then the shitlist means nothing.

Calling the guy a scammer and pirate was completely unfounded and a blatant lie, as the details have been discussed publicly for some time.

With as many prices and wants that Paul has requested concerning this it just shows that he is quite selective for who and how his 'license' is applied.
Sorry this is not right. When Pornonada originally declined all my offers to resupply and re license the content he carried on using it. It's only now after he continues to flame me that I have taken it to the next level, that he decides to remove it. It's still there and for all I know still inside the site.

We always resupply content to a client who has lost it. Pornonada is not a client of ours. He's a client of Marcel who he says sold him the content.

True I tried many prices and even as little as a fee banner on Ask Damage when DamageX came in and asked me. He said he could not do it. Seems I was to do everything for free, because of sales to Marcel.

All the time Pornonada had the content in the affiliates area, it was never licensed for that. What ever the arguments about selling a license with a domain or company the license never covered affiliate use.

If the shit list is to mean something it should include a site giving unlicensed content to affiliates. A site associated with DamageX!!!
