GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum - What cyberlocker site rhymes with Moron?

As you may have read in the adult press lately, Porn Guardian has been working quietly for the past 18 months - and recently not-so-quietly with Corbin Fisher and a few other brands - to amass information about a particular cyberlocker?s activities. We have put out a call to some of our larger clients to join eMAPinitiative, a new LLC we formed in Nevada to bring content owners together to work collaboratively to expose this cyberlocker?s business practices to the light of day. As of this evening, Grooby, based in the United Kingdon, BelAmi, based in the Czech Republic, and Lucas Entertainment, based in New York have committed to join this collective action group and they have committed cash contributions to help bring the locker site to justice. Porn Guardian has been working since its founding to bring industry professionals together around the common cause of ending piracy. Remember the pivotal scene in the movie ?Norma Rae,? when Sally Field stands on the table holding up a hand-made sign that says ?UNION? and the factory workers one-by-one shut down their machines and make the decision to unite?

Tonight is the night to join together.

Together, the Adult Industry can be a formidable force. If we all work together, if we all share the information we have about this cyberlocker?s activities ? how they solicit affiliates and pay them for every 1,000 downloads, and how they pay a substantial rev-share to posters for sales of premium memberships which allow people to steal content faster and more efficiently?. If we share what we know with one another and with the top-notch legal team that has come together to fight this egregious infringement we all suffer, we will win this case and we will bring these particular infringements to an end.

A few weeks ago, this cyberlocker threatened through their attorney to sue Porn Guardian and it's principals for defamation. Our attorney, who is also Corbin Fisher?s attorney, then filed suit against THEM for copyright infringement on behalf of Corbin Fisher. The case has progressed quite quickly. The cyberlocker?s assets in the US and in Hong Kong have been frozen, the owner of the company has been served at his home in Florida, and now this cyberlocker has filed a "Motion for Emergency Relief" in Nevada asking the judge to release their funds because they claim that less than one percent of the files stored on their servers are Corbin Fisher's property, so they argue that freezing all of their assets to protect against less than 1% of their activity is unduly onerous. They claim that the other 99.9% of their activities are completely legal, non-infringing, and they harm no one.

Porn Guardian has catalogued more than 600,000 infringements across our 350+ adult brands in the past 18 months on this one cyberlocker. And we imagine that other companies who are not our clients have been similarly harmed. If your company has been harmed, please join the fight. Stand up and be heard. Contact eMAPinitiative through Porn Guardian and express interest in joining this important fight. We will be looking to add others to the suit in a few days. And we need people to come to Las Vegas on July 3rd and appear before the judge to explain to her honor that it?s NOT less than 1% of the stored files that are infringing?.. It is an enormous number of files belonging to a diverse assortment of companies in countries around the world all of whom have suffered significant losses as a result.

We need to demonstrate that we can, as an industry, work together on this. We MUST work together on this. It?s important. It will be difficult, but it MUST BE DONE. We must unite in the common cause of taking back our content and refusing to allow it to be distributed without permission and in ways that make vast sums of money for people who have absolutely no investment in its creation. The time has come. The time is now. STAND UP. BE COUNTED. BE HEARD.

Please contact peter-at-pornguardian.com ?or- dominic-at-pornguardian.com for more information about eMAPinitiative and to express your support. We can win if we work together.

Information online should ALWAYS be available for free. But entertainment online is something worth paying for.

Stand with us.

Thanks.
