Anyone just receive emails from CEG TEK for promoting ddgcash?
 

Hey,
I just received 5 emails this morning for galleries made from zip sets offered by ddgcash/digital desire because I am using their content without authorization. Emails received from CEG TEK aka copyright settlement group aka Ira M. Siegel, Esq.

I have been an affiliate of theirs for 5+ years and now I get emails demanding $500 per instance even though you can see the banner on the page and the image is linked to their paysite tour. Did they just forget they had an affiliate program?

Contact them I guess and explain it to them, not to us

Also, take a gander at this i just found: http://fightcopyrighttrolls.com/tag/ira-siegel/

It seems they are just throwing shit at the wall and hoping some of it sticks :2 cents:

You have to respond to them no matter what. Contact them and explain and ask whats up. They've taken some pretty aggressive steps and you need to pro-active - otherwise you might find yourself added to a lawsuit seeking some very serious damages.

Don't let people here talk you out of talking to them directly asap.

I've already emailed the people at ddgcash, I imagine its early in cali right now. Waiting for a response, just a bit nuts since they probably have thousands of affiliates with their content up

I got one of these too... Haven't yet got in contact with anyone from DDG Cash.

Never mind just got a email back from Zach he fixed it http://ddgcash.com/static/support.php literally responded in 2 minutes.

Damn glad im not using them, what a pain in the ass, but now a days I do kinda understand.

I got one as well, and the issue was apparently resolved. I'm kinda sad to get such a threatening e-mail from a law firm asking for money right off the bat. I've never really had a problem with digital desire and I even posted on this forum that it's been one of my favorite sponsors to promote. Now I have to worry about this? :(

I got an email from DD, looks like these emails were sent on auto

I received 9 of them yesterday and they added my IP address to their whitelist but now the legal department of Mojohost is asking me to address this situation immediately. Fucking annoying. I definitely won't be promoting DDG Cash in the future.

Moments ago, I got 2 of them...and there's no WAY I have content of theirs on
any of my sites, or pages...
I pretty much only promote them via text links...and certainly not with the use of their photo content.
:P

This used to happen all the time. My response has always been to clear the air and walk away. No. Delete links, clear the air, walk away. I have better things to do with my time.

Note: This has nothing to do with ddgcash - they never bothered me. But I'm going to remove what ever links I have anyways.

Just received this email

I do not understand why automated software is used for this, it will do more harm than good - this thread = perfect example of that.

Did everyone get all this resolved?

I had to mail the domains I use,3 days back.
Got no reply yet.

I'm still waiting for some sort of confirmation too. I don't want this to slip through the cracks and get some letters asking for even more in a month.

If I don't get a confirmation till wednessday,I will take down all galleries.

Now it's enough:

a sale: $9.95

i'll continue to submit the galleries that i created then i'll just stop to make stuff for them.

i received this yesterday

Did you get anything yet?

Nothing yet.

Zach told me they (ceg tek I'm assuming) would be sending out reconciliation emails when the cases have been dropped. But I have not received anything yet

Awell,they are not that converting for me.Not worth the hassle.It is more a personnal taste.I like his girls.

Hello Affiliates,

I apologize if this has affected any of you unintentionally. Yes, it could have been better handled. The only thing we can do about it for now is make sure valid affiliates are getting whitelisted. Thanks for your understanding. Enforcing our copyright and stemming the illegal sharing of our content is in all our best interest.

Looks like you should have done that a long time ago.:1orglaugh

i'm waiting for a payment.
And some months it's better.
But december and the end of november was awful.
In march (when the price was higher) i had a ratio of 1/1000
Then suddently when they changed the price i got credited for a sale, just this day.

Oh, i'm lucky...

when girls are sexy, decrease the price and write it everywhere.
Looks legit :thumbsup

Still no notice from CEG TEK saying the cases have been dropped, its almost been a month. Supposed escalation is going on in the next couple days for the cases... get your shit together ddgcash

Looks like they were closed but I never received any confirmation from them or DDG myself
