Contacted the host of Porn-Catalog.com
 
My mate just contacted them, here is the transcript of the phone conversation:

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...
You have been connected to Jeff K Scott.
Jeff K Scott: Hello, my name is Jeff Scott and I'm your Planet sales representative. What can I help you with today?
Customer: Hi , I am hearing that you are hosting a site, that has taken our sites and is offering memberships to them
Customer: http://www.porn-catalogue.com/
Jeff K Scott: we host over 4 million websites so it's possible
Customer: is that correct?
Jeff K Scott: what is your issue?
Customer: this site has literally taken every adult site in the industry, including ours and is telling surfers they can buy passwords to our site
Jeff K Scott: we don't host just websites, we are in the business of selling dedicated servers, a lot of our customers are resellers that host single websites from those dedicated servers
Customer: i can start with about 10 things that make this illegal
Jeff K Scott: you can report any illegal activity to [email protected]
Jeff K Scott: they will investigate the issue and go from there
Customer: is there a phone number, you will want to rectify this before the lawsuits begin
Jeff K Scott: there is nothing i can do to help you
Customer: phone number?
Jeff K Scott: there is no phone number for abuse, i can tell you that they reply very quickly
Jeff K Scott: you can also copy [email protected] as well
Jeff K Scott: please include the IP of the site that is committing the illegal acts
Jeff K Scott: i promise you that your issue will be addressed promptly
Customer: writing email now




Will keep you updated on the reply from e mail

good luck with that. it has taken months to get a reply from planet abuse

Well it's about leaving a trail and trying to do things properly.

If they do not reply a mass DMCA will be the next step.

They cannot ignore DMCA

k0nr4d 04-02-2008 02:27 PM

has anyone signed up to the site yet to see if it actually has the content?
It seems like they would need a hell of a server cluster to keep the members areas of 12k sites.

Pete-KT 04-02-2008 03:27 PM

i wonder if its a scam site that sells them a memebrship and then offers them upsells to all the sites from ad material content? has anyone actually bought a membership?

Have you seen your own content with your own eyes? If they don't have your content, and it's just a scam, you'll be wasting your time. :2 cents:

Regardless if it's a scam or not they are using your brand to make money.

The site is porn-catalogue not porn-catalog. porn-catalog is just a parked domain and theplanet hosts it. porn-catalogue is hosted by a company in Hong Kong that hosts spam.

Do a little research next time.

If they are using your images from your tour screen grab it makes no difference what is within the members area.

Looks like a scam... Smells like a scam.... Feels like a scam.... Tastes like a scam....

do you thnk?

its a surfer scam. 90% sure of it. no way they can issue universal passes. my guess is they have skimmed of fhgs and/or leeched members areas.

no way they are issuing passes "one pass for all sites"

how would they write it to the PW files through a biller?

looks like it's working for me.
i think they grabed content by signing up for the site and downloading it or like a previous poster said using FHG

MattO 04-02-2008 08:29 PM

The site with the scam is not hosted at the Planet... does anyone read replies on this fucking board?

MattO 04-02-2008 08:30 PM

IP Address: 58.65.237.49. IP Location, Hong Kong - Hong Kong (sar) - Hong Kong - Hostfresh

GetSCORECash 04-02-2008 08:35 PM

Has anyone signed up to the website?

Why are you so sure?
It's 100% possible to direct _all_ their users over _1_ legal account on each paysite..

CMS's and members area software would catch things like that. Flags should be set if more than say 3 logins come from 3 different ip's in X amount of hours.

baddog 04-02-2008 09:15 PM

MattO 04-02-2008 09:15 PM

Yes ofcourse. But it's possible to direct all logins over 1 ip when they use a proxy.. But that will cost alot of bandwidth..
