TMM Vs. NR: Gloves are off it seems!
Freehold, New Jersey, 03/24/2008 ? Naked Rhino and NR Media have, with great fanfare, announced their motion to amend their
complaint in the lawsuit pending against Too Much Media in federal court in New Jersey. They have obviously sought to gain from
publishing false statements what they have not been able to gain after a year and a half of litigation.
In either reviewing the proposed amended Complaint, which our lawyers will vigorously oppose the motion to allow its filing, or
any postings related to it, please remember the source ? Naked Rhino and NR Media. Also, be aware of certain facts which have
come out in the litigation.
1. Chris Petoski, the president of NR and NRM, in testimony has admitted cursing and hanging up on John Albright after John
Albright telephoned him to find out why affiliates have not been properly paid.
2. NR?s former technical director has testified that the accounting for affiliate rebills was flawed, not because of a problem
with NATS, but because of his use of an erroneous password. Petoski was aware of this but refused to make required
corrections.
3. Until this day NR and NRM have not correctly paid affiliates what was owed them for rebills since well before the lawsuit
started in August 2006.
4. NR and NRM have not set aside money to pay the affiliates when the litigation ends.
5. NR and NRM, in transferring its affiliate tracking software from NATS to Epoch?s Hosted MPA solution chose not to pay what
Petoski testified was $5,000-$10,000 for the software necessary to keep track of its obligations to affiliates and sales
generated prior to the transfer.
6. Jason Tucker, a member of No Rivals Media, the successor to NR and NRM, has stated with regard to the proposed amended
complaint: ?I was not consulted nor do I think this makes any sense. My 2 cents: someone in this case appears to be continuing
the process of avoiding life and well?certain responsibilities?
The proposed amended complaint was drafted by an attorney who has now moved to be relieved as counsel for NR and NRM after
representing them for just six weeks. NR and NRM will now ask the court to allow them to have their fourth counsel who just
happens to be the counsel for Mansion Productions, the maker of Too Much Media?s prime competitor, MPA3. Coincidence?
In that proposed amended complaint NR and NRM seek to join together two completely unrelated events ? NR?s and NRM?s refusal to
deal with their rebill problems in August 2006 and the security breach experienced by TMM in 2007. Too Much Media has been up
front about the occurrence of this security breach and has taken corrective measures.
Be aware ? no credit card information was taken from any servers nor was any private data taken off Too Much Media?s servers.
No private data in fact rests on Too Much Media?s servers. The NATS program and all of its data rests on client servers with
access by TMM limited to maintenance and support applications.
Despite statements made in the proposed amended complaint, the security breach has not, apparently, continued, as TMM has
received no related complaints since December.
TMM is very much aware of its obligations to the industry. It was that feeling of obligation which led to John Albright?s call
to Chris Petoski in August, 2006. Think of it ? what did John Albright or TMM have to gain by picking a fight with NR, NRM or
Petoski?
It?s that same feeling of obligation which has caused TMM, on a monthly basis, since 2005, to deliver a CD containing the
updated NATS source code and a list of current clients to its attorneys for safekeeping. In the unlikely event anything happen
to TMM, its NATS customers are protected.
Lawsuits are meant to be tried in courts. Because, however, NR, NRM and their friends have sought to use various media outlets
to try to harm NATS and Too Much Media, a response was required. We can only hope and request that you be objective and fair in
considering all related communications.
