Steve Easton
3325 Griffin Rd. #137 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33312 29 Jun 2002 - RE: Pam and Tommy Video "Hi I'm Steve Easton from APIC, and I lay claim to copyright on the STOLEN Pamela Anderson sex video (yes there are spastics on the internet that even claim to own copyright on the above STOLEN video). I demand you remove the above videos, as well as any reference to celebrities, because I own copyright on them too! I'm a fucking joke. Shoot me. (ignore the spam in the videos they don't own copyright on it either - Pamela Anderson does)" http://www.e-t-r.net/archives/30.june.02.html hahahaha

So did anyone start the site or buy the domain? Hell, he'll probaby try to sue the site based on the site using his likeness. I had problems as well in the past with Apic. They emailed me about content one time, and i just deleted the email and went on with my day when i saw what their claim was. Never heard back. Didn't think i would. Bunch of morons. Nothing but harassment.
I would join this cause.....if there is one to be joined. ![]() |

There is a cause to be joined. Chris R has bought the domain and if you check through this thread you will see our ideas for what can be put in the site. We need as many ideas that can be backed up with hard evidence against APIC to make this work.
So fire away!! (preferably with bullets at Eastons head) |

Suze says "He is extremely useful to us and rarely makes a
mistake, it is just unfortunate " Thats funny because APIC contacted my friend/partner and almost shut his site down. Too bad for APIC that the pics he is selling are ones HE SHOT. His photography is so good they thought it was Suze Randalls so they launched a full scale legal attack on him. He had to mail Suze directly and tell her to curb the fucking attack dog. Its one mistake after another with them. It would be different if they asked for a license but they go right for the throat. |

Looks to me like, Charly should not be the only one boycotted.
How about Suze Randall and www.suze.net... looks like her name comes up more than APIC. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I do agree with this statement 100% Will I ever buy content from Charly with APIC handling it? Fuck no. Never. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Charly I really think you are foolish to use these people and real dumb to come and post on this board about having a site closed down by APIC. Not very bright. You are very penny wise and dollar foolish. And am sure this is going RAT over your head. ![]() ![]()

The principles behind APIC seem to be legitimate; however, their enforcement seems more suited to the old west. The ironic thing is, APIC seems to follow the same methods that more than a few sponsors do--shoot first, ask questions later.
The exchange between Lensman and APIC was not only unproductive, it was unacceptable. How can anyone take such an organization seriously after they attack a well known sponsor with arrogance and attitude in the place of substance? However, I understand that APIC seems to be the only organization that assists content providers, so I understand Charly's decision to accept the good with the bad. I'm sure if Charly and other content providers found a similar organization that behaved in a more professional manner--treating their current and futures clients as well as colleagues with the benefit of some due process-- perhaps they would use them. Charly would you use another organization for copyright and trademark enforcement? I think that is an important question. Perhaps that new "adult webmaster" lobby will create a division for sponsors and content providers to enforce trademark and copyright law. just my ![]()

if you are of any reasonable size, you should be able to handle copyright violation in house. with it under you control, even handle it professionally. that's what we do.

What about those of us who are not yet of reasonable size? Is there effective way of dealing with these problems without resorting to rogue tactics?

This is not true, APIC is NOT the only one, we have been doing this for about 5 years now. In addition to being a content provider and paysite operator, we also work with 25 companies as their designated agent in regards to infringement. Our philosophy is different from APICS however on many fronts. First and foremost, it is our philosophy that the content provider/owner get paid for the illegal use of their property. Here is our process: 1. We sign a contract with the content provider/owner that appoints us their designated agent. 2. A site using illegal content is identified. 3. The infringement is documented using screen captures. 4. A cease and desist letter is sent to the site owner ordering them to immediately cease and desist from the unauthorized and illegal use of our clients property. They are given 72 hours to comply and respond. 5. Once they have complied and responded, they are sent a demand in settlement letter. The DIS letter basically outlines the content owners rights under the law (civil only, we never mention the criminal) and the site owners liability under the law. The site owner is then given an opportunity to pay a fine, usually between $1000 and $5000. They are also given an oppurtunity to pay the fine by licensing content from the content provider they have stolen from (usually double the amount of the cash fine). Most of the time, the matter is resolved this way and no further action is needed. Everyone wins. The site owner now has legal content, and the content owner has gotten paid for the illegal and unauthorized use of their content. However, if the site owner does not respond, or does not comply, then the first DMCA letter is sent. It is sent to the host, and in the case of a pay site, the billing company. We do not go after the sponsors. We do however notify the sponsors of what is happening and give them the opportunity to take their own action. If the site owner does not respond or comply, and the host or billing company has acted properly (they all usually do) then the case is documented and given to legal counsel. At that point, legal counsel will contact the site owner with the same procedures outlined above and the amount of the fine doubles. If the lawyer cant get anywhere, the case is then packaged, with all pertinent info and given to the content owner. The content owner then makes the decision whether or not to litigate. At this point, we are out of it. By contacting the site owner FIRST, any damage as a result of mistakes is nullified. However, if the infringement is real, and not a mistake, then the content owner benefits financially. In addition, they may now have a good future customer. In addition, the infringement is stopped. In most cases we are able to spank the infringer while telling them how much we love them. It's the old "this is going to hurt me more than it is going to hurt you" routine. That's how we do it. |

I won't comment on APIC. You all seem to have an opinion about them already. I can tell you that APIC has, in the past, brought down some very big thieves that were difficult to bring down. We simply have a very different philosophy. Theirs works for them, ours works for us. BTW...I forgot to mention what we charge for our services. We get 50% of whatever we are able to collect. We collect 0, we get 0. If step two is required, than compensation shifts to 1/3 for the content owner, 1/3 for the lawyer, 1/3 for me. If step 1 and 2 are not sucessful, and step 3 is required, we are out of it and get nothing. |

Charly, let me get this straight - you're complaining that someone stole content and had fake info on his domain registration, right?
Anyone know Steve Easton's real name or real address? Because I'm pretty sure he uses a fake name and a fake address. This makes him no better than the people he's harrassing. Plus he is NOT a lawyer. And he's not a good person. I have been threatened by him over my content. He sent CCBill and Verio C&D and DMCA notices as well. And the content in question is sitting in my cabinet - the mounted slides, the ID's, and the releases. This is not the mark of a professional. I have since never heard from him, but if I do my intention will more than likely be to have one of my seven lawyers resolve the situation to my satisfaction. As a content provider, a sponsor, and a tgp owner, I want absolutely nothing to do with APIC, and APIC does not and will not represent my company. |

APIC's reputation for shoot first and ask questions later precedes him Charly. Most everyone I know whose dealt with him comes out of the experience ready and eager to track the guy down with a baseball bat in hand.
