Anytime.
I walked in to Barnes and Noble last week and bought a small stack & mailed them out to some of our webmasters overseas that were wanting one. I've got 2 left if there's anyone else out there like me that still likes the feel of glossy pages and can't get their hands on one locally.
I'm not totally surprised no charges have been filed. I think epass was smart, they knew who they were dealing with. I think they returned the funds to all the players they perceived could create major legal problems for them, and the ones who couldn't or wouldn't got hung out to dry. All the big dogs with corporate attorneys got their money back while the independent webmasters, especially those overseas, where pretty much told to go shit in the ocean.
I applaud you for writing the piece, mainly because I feel due of the industries epassporte mainly dealt with the general public perception is this is a victimless crime. Even though the majority of the people who lost money weren't in the content production end, anyone who does business in the adult marketplace is quickly labeled a "pornographer" and anyone who's ever read the comments on any article addressing piracy, tube sites and content theft knows the world doesn't shed any tears when we lose $$.
Stealing is stealing, it doesn't matter who you steal it from. Contrary to what Mallick would like the world to think the majority of us aren't russian mobsters, drug addicts, or purveyors of child pornography. We're quite the opposite.
