Let's sue Zango, I'll give $1000
Ok these guys deserve to go down.
I don't want to organise it, because I live so far away and I have no experience with suing folk (hey, I'm not american! :) ) But if we have enough people contribute, and some leadership then surely we have the power here to take those scamsters. Anyone with me? :) |
Global Class Action
|
good idea man!
|
Any decent lawyer who understands and specializes in class action lawsuits would not have a big issue taking it on if they felt it was winnable or that Zango will quickly settle. They just typically want around 40 to 60% of everything.
|
fuck they do???
|
I'd sue for the PRINCIPLE and....besides, these types of cases are usually taken on contingency basis. Let the lawyers get the huge chunk of change, I just want a precedent set that normal contract principles prevent these types of installs from being "voluntary".
|
I'd rather sue rapidshare and the lot.
|
fuck zango

got zango ?
|
that's not good to zango.. i guess!
|
after today's FTC ruling i'd say anything is possible
|
You just need to piss off the right people like I posted in another thread. Norm Zadeh for example, who got a settlement from AdultCheck. Show him URLs where AFF is paying them while they use his content.. or see if Zango is popping up over his sites.

serious business

zango? why not sue the companies that use zango to take your joins away from you, their very own affiliates without compensation. zango is one company of hundreds doing the same thing. thinking you can change the world by attacking any one of them is both foolish and naive.

.... i wasn't thinking... trying to rally a bunch of 1/2 retarded, hugely independent, idiot pornographers together to fight a $500,000 - $1,000,000 legal fight with zango to vent frustration, makes perfect sense and is totally logical. ;) |

Most likely it wouldn't require that sort of money because class action lawyers take on this sort of stuff for large percentage of the settlement. It's not beyond this board to actually achieve things when enough people care about it. If enough people do is at the moment a moot point. |

They have been under significant government scrutiny and have the best legal representation in the country. First you have to spend ... how much? Probably 10-20K just to have attorneys assess the situation fully and give you an opinion on it. Then what? who is going to pay to fight assuming everyone can get on board with a weak case against them? Acacia got right in everyones face and claimed to own the rights to video/audio on the web and were suing people.. yet people did jack shit except for 11 companies and the few that sent cash. Some here know for sure, but i would venture to guess that the legal bill is probably over 1.5 mil by now. If people counldn't get on board to face an obvious, direct threat, then they definately won't get on board to face a threat where no one can know for sure if it affects them at all. |

Uh people know for sure Zango affects them, do you even know how it works? |
zango is untouchable

the latest FTC regulation, their clients list, their capital + their ability to further raise when needed. Mainstream industry pretty much autoregulated their aff. programs and prohibits the use of it for sales/leads generation after they gave up on rest means of fighting it.

valid point. I would be more optimistic if I had seen certain big aff.programs step against it, in the contrary though...
There several things that haven't been posted about zango the similar systems even after all these drama threads. For example: Assuming you have aff.program A taking over #1 bid for their keywords to protect their business. This translates that just a % of the popups will be for this advertiser. Any advertiser can jump and take over 2nd, 3rd etc position with a starting min bid of 1.5cents. Right now I can go and bid on AFF/cams.com/sexsearch.com etc keywords and popup my own ads. So bottom line, do they actually protect their keywords? No, they just hijack sales from their affiliates. |

Pleasurepays is right. When FTC goes after you they examine many things and believe me they know zango/180s better than anyone of us. The company that has historykill was hammered by FTC no that long time ago. If you see the report that followed their case it was unbeliable,they had incredible details and pointed out all type of misleading actions that were taking place. For example misleading banners. Do I need to remind you how adult dating sites work these days? With deceiving fake geoads that show ppl that dont exist in those areas and charging surfers money to provide their contact. Enough said..

Guys, the end is near. McDonalds is hiring.

The FTC were most likely investigating a specific complaint from the installed users point of view. I very much doubt they considered the webmaster point of view at all. Zango surely won't have provided them with any information they didnt' have to. |

i could use that same logic to argue that power outages and crappy hardware, frozen computers and any number of things affect a surfers ability to reach my site. why sue zango? sue god. |

You're obviously a Zango fan, I'm glad to know you're happy to indulge in unethical promotional methods. |
