I understand your frustration, especially when you don't get a quick response but i'm pretty sure he is not hiding or giving you the finger.
Give it a little more time and he will sort it out with you in private. He isn't into drama and certainly not public gfy drama. He has a good reputation and won't screw that up because of this specific issue.

All you want to hear is sorry and the removal of the content and some cookies and milk. Which he will take care of.

Yes just what I'm hoping for. Thanks for the nice post :)

File a suit agains them, that should get their attention. Then subpoena them for the affiliate that published the image, then add them to the suit.

Lawsuits cost money. I'd send a C&D, make it clear what they are doing and demand they correct it. Lawsuits are only good in theory and only look good to those who have never been through them. Only attorneys win at suing people.

Those gears are actually in motion now. I'm hoping to get satisfaction and avert that course of action though. I happen to be well aware that they are profiting massively from the likeness of the girls that we represent (none of them have ever signed a release form for anything btw) I'm also fairly certain that their BEST converting ads are our shit...the money train at our expense is about to come to a screeching halt.

Still crickets though..........

Absolutely true - although in this case there is damage. Emotional and to brands.

When a girl has her image (no 2257 even in existence) placed in slick ads to bogus dating site scams - then smeared across dozens of the lowest and sleaziest porn tubes (many of them filled with JB and CP...the clients of Advidi in this case) there is damage, and judges have no problem finding for the plaintiffs, fairly quickly and easily - especially when the defendants are profiting to the tune of multimillions...yea slam dunk, and we are getting impatient.

DBS I've read you before, no idea who you are but you seem like a serious dude who weighs in heavy. What's your opinion of that barking dog suit?

I would have said frivolous myself - until last summer when I rented a house for shoots and cam girls (1 yr lease) with the worst barking dog nuisance I could have possibly imagined: There was a 8 foot high cinder block wall between my neighbor and I - and they had 2-3 small constant yappers and a large BIG BARK mangy mutt. The noise from those dogs was INSANE. We couldn't use the pool - they would bark at US...They would bark at us every time we closed the patio doors or walked in our backyard. It was an all out 5 dog cacophony nightmare - we had to move the bed to the living room just to sleep.

I love dogs but I had fantasies about rat-poison laced steak toss.

I would bang on the door of the neighbors and they hid inside and refuse to come out to discuss the illegal levels of nuisance barking - I left a note on the door explaining that today would be the first of many calls to police if the barking didn't stop. Police filed the report and the next day the barking just stopped - stone cold silence...it was a miracle. We could finally sit in the jacuzzi and bask in the glorious sound of nothing. Amazing.

The neighbor had purchased ultra sonic anti-barking speakers and they WORKED - like a CHARM. The dogs would let out a single bark - then a small pained yelp...then nothing.

Those dogs made that gorgeous house unusable, not to mention costing us thousands when cam models couldn't work...that tab could have easily gone to 500k over a few years had I purchased that house and the dogs never quit.

Moral of the story - get those speakers for your hounds and keep the peace.

Hi Matt

my name is Ivo, VP of affiliate marketing at Advidi. First of all sorry that this issue occurred and thank you so much for your input. Sorry that it took a little bit of time to respond. But to give you a little bit more insight on how these kind of things can happen, let me explain how our system works. We have build an inhouse banner system which currently holds more then 25.000 banners. We are currently creating 500 fresh banners on a weekly basis which are getting added into the system as well. This system is used by 30+ affiliates on a daily basis for traffic they cant/ dont want to monetize. Some of these affiliates have the ability to upload banners into our system. They are using mainly tools such as WhatRunsWhere, AdultAdsPro etc. On the scale we run ads we have to automise the process and this is an unfortunate byproduct of of the way we work.

Please let me add send me an email to [email protected] with the banners that we need to remove. We will block the user as well that uploaded the banners so we will do everything to rectify this.

Kind regards

Well I sure as shit knew, as sure as the sun will rise, that you guys would pass the buck and blame the ever elusive "Uploaders" - and of course adding your logo to our intellectual property is merely an "unfortunate byproduct of of the way we work" riiiiight?

That's fine with me as long as you guys vigorously pursue the takedown of EVERY SINGLE IMAGE (and Gif) across your network as well eradicate our content from ALL of your affiliates websites even those you may have no control over (and yet still reap large profits from).

HEY we have 25000 banners and 500 new ones per week! Then please tell me, kind sir, why is it that MY GIRLS are so prominently featured in nearly every one of the low brow illegal-as-fuck stickam CP tubes your slimeball clients run?

The horseshit in here is so fucking ripe...HEY I have a GREAT IDEA! Anyone want to back me on a stolen motorcycle store? YEA let's start selling stolen Harleys and just blame others when the cops show up! We'll just say "It wasn't us!" "These bikes are all on consignment!" hahahaha

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your response, could you email me which girls and banners this would entail.
I will personally make sure that these are found and removed from our system.
With the volume of traffic and banner serving we do on a daily basis I hope you understand understand that some of these cases fall through the cracks since we can't manually scan all assets.

We will remove the banners you highlight for us and keep a close eye on the banners in the future, your help is much appreciated in this regard.

Please let me know if this solves the issue and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Cheers

Hi Matt,

I just see your email coming in. Lets take it from there!!

Thanks Ivo - looking forward to seeing how this goes.

Hey Ivo

While you at it can you also Remove this banner.

This is done with our exclusive content (we shoot at 2000$ a shoot). I can get you in touch with the producer if needed

glad to see this not resolved.

talk to mike : [email protected]

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Advidi such scumbag assholes

putting his email there that might get email though for VIAGRA - XANAX - Bad credit - Double your income - Eliminate debt - Financial freedom - Lose weight - Make money fast - No medical exams - Online pharmacy - Be your own boss and others

you made me laugh out loud

That's not good enough, it's YOUR system therefore YOUR responsibility.

I am sick to death of ad network scum like yourself engaging in this shit.

You're not sorry it happened, you're sorry you got caught. :2 cents:

what about the offending account?

Is an "unfortunate byproduct" of how your system works also that people's ads are ripped in real time and then watermarked with your logo as well? And by the way, thinking about it, I don't mind the stealing of ads as it's just so common and something almost everyone does given their short lifespan, what irritates me is that you then slap your logo on them in a truly bizarre "fuck you" move, making it absolutely clear that it's stolen being that others aren't stealing your animated gif and then painstakingly trying to remove the logo from each frame. In an industry full of absolute cunts, you guys stand alone.

lookin good so far guys.

still see a lot of active links though :(

How has this not been fully corrected yet ?

#shorthairdontcare

Haha.. i was looking at this thread with my mobile phone and never saw the banner. Odd move right? Stealing banners... i get that. Stealing banners that are brand new and then putting your logo on them, when its 100% obvious thats exactly what happened? Thats so arrogant and fucking retarded... they've been doing it since they started.

get a life dude

Advidi Team, you have an email, guess why...

Don't send an email, send a couple of big blokes with baseball bats :2 cents:

Actually, one of the banners they are using includes our logo and brand, but is promoting another site...

Problem definitely still not resolved

Gotta love those user uploaded banners.

"user uploaded" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Was thinkin' the same thing.

Sounds like a lot of deflection of blame...no absorption.

I'm not familiar with advidi's system but do they host these banners themselves and the LP's? If so then they should definitely be taking some proactive measures to get a system in place to filter this. I always thought it was up to the traffic brokers to host the banners and then you host your landing pages............is this wrong? why are they getting the blame?

you need to buy drink, that is bro code

Giving a bump on this - on a purpose. Probably incoming more drama from me soon...
