Be careful guys...

I complimented the guy behind this on a nice looking site as he said it was custom built. I offered to sell it for him to some webmasters that want to build out tube sites.

He assured me that he spent a considerable amount of time custom coding this tube script from the ground up.

It's really MediaXXX with little to no modifications that I can see. I didn't realize this until after our conversation, when I started thinking about how I had seen identical looking sites in the past.

I suggested that he'd have a hard time getting affiliates with an affiliate back-end that isn't well known -- shaving is an issue in this industry, after all.

So, if a guy misrepresents to me that he has painstakingly built a script from the ground up and has the right to resell it for the same price that the original author is selling it for -- and then splitting that price with me (do that math), as a potential affiliate am I not supposed to be the least bit weary about signing up for a program ran by software I can't trust and a guy that has blatantly lied to me while simultaneously encouraging me to sell bootleg software? (hello run-on sentence)

Also, am I supposed to take his word that he is against piracy and has fully licensed all content when he wanted me to sell bootleg copies of a script?

I have him blocked on ICQ but I did preserve the chat logs.

I have never started drama on a board, but there is a first for everything and I want to warn my fellow webmasters of my own dealings with the owner of this company.

If you are going to proceed, please proceed with caution and keep your eyes open.

I am curious as to why he didn't take me up on the suggestion of using CCBill for affiliate management since CCBill is trusted and shave-proof...since he claims he will already be using CCBill for processing. Unless going with NATS/MPA3, why not use CCBill for affiliate tracking since it's free to use if you are already a processing customer? I can think of only one reason...

Every objection I had was met with "I am only 23" or "I am new and learning."
