This can't be over. I was hoping to come back and see some more entertainment. I WANT MORE DIRT!!!!:waaaaahh

Oh but that wouldn't be any fun now would it...

Newbie.

Back from City Walk......

AdultEarners if you look you will see Brad drew first blood. I usually NEVER attack someone personally, but when called out, I will not back down.

Without attacking me personally MikeAI really has nothing to say, it's the only way he knows :)

thank you :thumbsup

FM, the attackers from Florida and Texas have gone to bed. Care to meet me in Hollywood for a cup of coffee? We can write your biography and name all the names!

This is incorrect. Their patenets do not refer to a specific type of compression, but to sending media from one place to another using certain means.

The patents ARE overly broad, but as mentioned earlier this IS legalized extortion. The gatekeeper is supposed to be the USPTO, but as everyone knows this has become a joke.

So who are the real people behind that hilarious Agent 69 cartoon?

Lobster Boy = Brad Shaw
IkeOU = Mike AI
Shrimpy = Sharky
Skinny Phillips = ?
Cyberguy = KManrox
Scourge = Serge Birbrair

All of the mud slingin in the world isn't gonna help a thing with this Acacia stuff..
especially with the way they're entering into it..
You can mark my word, unless the judge jumps right on top of the issues, it's not gonna be about 'patent infringement' .. it's gonna be about porn..

These lawyers are gonna turn this into fiasco with, "Our children are being put in harms way by being able to watch porn movies using our patented process" .. and anything else that will keep the real issue as far back on the burner as possible..

Anything that will make the jury believe they are right..

The words "porn", "adult Sites", or anything else that has to do with this industry needs to be disallowed as reference in the court because it has nothing to do with the content being streamed... it's all to do with whether or not the streams are being sent through a patented process..
I just hope the defense drives this home with the judge and enters such a motion, or it's gonna be the L.A. police dept. on trial instead of O.J. again... so to speak..

Nah, you got one of these wrong already Luke.

Poor Duck - his investigative "skills" can't even come up with information on something that's almost 2 years old. :1orglaugh

bla bla bla bla, bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.

If anything this proves that getting rich in this biz years ago took more luck than brains. Too bad I was stuck in the corporate world still.

strange to read all this and no post from serge, sometime I miss the russian;)


oh btw, looking forward to seeing you all in fl :glugglug

He'll be dissappointed. 4 sure. :)

I find ,if you find yourself missing Serge,you need a laser sight ;)



ahahahahahahahahahahaha

His guess REALLY show how dumb he is.I mean....................

correct....I wish to GOD that I was in this game back in the early days.....

But you still needed SOME brains to get rich, even back in the day....But now, you can be a genius and be broke so you can't really compare today's atmosphere with years ago..

My take on this is that FM sold his business but was required to have an escrow account to cover representations and warranties made to the new owners. This is common practice in the sale of companies, as is the employment contract for ongoing management after the sale. A potentially huge liability from Acacia throws a monkey wrench into this sale. So FM settles with Acacia to remove this potential liability. While I am sure this can be fairly characterized as a move to protect CE's ongoing business, this looks like it also was protecting the sale of CE from running afoul. To me this shouldn't be read as a testament to the strength of Acacia's case since there were issues here that are unique to CE and not the adult industry as a whole.

Thread change....

We figured it out... Acacia is screwed :helpme

Very good points.

300 Controversial posts

Ok, now that we've reached 300, this thread no longer has any purpose other than to win DUC an XBOX...


The real thread is here (not started by me.. although if someone wants to send me an Xbox I wouldn't send it back) :Graucho

Really... the IMPA guys (well, homegrown anyway) just came in and acknowledged the worthiness of this thread:

So come on over, pick up your magnafying glass and get to work :)

David, stop making sense ;)

Yeah thats sort of what I was trying to suggest... but I don't know enough about big business dealins to get the point across in under 500,000 words. :)

Well said Ron - It's sad you had to explain yourself - exactly what I assumed when I saw the tread - Anyone around when Sex.com was slapping sites with restrain orders and court papers knows you have to deal with the leaches and Acacia seem to be the biggest leach since Cohen was extorting fees from adult sites with "sex" in their domains based on a lame patient on the word sex!

Oh I dunno about that :)

Ron, exactly how much have you put forward of your own $ toward the IMPA?

Can the IMPA comment on this, has Ron been a contributor like he has lead everyone to believe?

Brad how much have you contributed to the IMPA?

Shhh :)

To my knowledge, the bank account for IMPA will be set up in a day or so.

Takes a while to set up non-profit organizations. This has to be done by-the-book and is not a small undertaking.

I believe Ron's initial post said "will" be contributing- I'm sure he will live up to his word.

Look for more official posts from the IMPA tomorrow.

Ron, I have not given a dime.

Most of this is news to me, only heard of it the other day. I have already been in contact with the CFO of IMPA today to see what I could do to help and have some questions answered.

when did you hear about Acacia?

I wanted to take a second to comment on people contributing to the IMPA and its causes. To make things clear the IMPA is going to be able to accept donations by tomorrow at its website. www.impai.org.

To clear up the confusion regarding Ron?s donation, We have not accepted it as of yet due to the need to incorporate the non profit organization correctly.

As for Mike AI and Brad, to their credit they are ready to help out. Beyond this point everything else is moot.


CE has not been the only company that has settled or is in negotiations. Over the last few months I have encountered people that wanted to sit back and watch it all take place with out spending a dime.


We are at a watershed moment in our industry. We either rise up and deal with this threat together or we allow companies like Acacia to come in a steal a % of our business.


Finally I want to make this clear to everyone that the companies involved with this litigation are taking a stand not only for themselves but also for this industry. Without the industry working together to defeat these guys they will roll over us all.


If you have any questions feel free to contact me directly at 949-716-8080 or [email protected].

MikeAI and BradShaw rather than throwing stones, why don't we all turn our attentions to a real industry problems and try to deal with them. We can bash each other anytime :)

Really dealing with these problems means money. In the past, the GIA ran into brick wall because of money issues. It was folded into the Free Speech Coalition, where it resides today. This happened because the members stopped their financial support.

The Adult Industry industry has been targeted. Lawyers are using the law in a perverse fashion to grab a share of the industry's grosses, or make them pay big money settlements for Vicarious Copyright Infringement or some other far reaching law.

Does anyone know what Vicarious Copyright Infringement mean?

It means, as it pertains to our industry, that if a site that sends traffic to an affiliate program, and that site has unlicensed photos, hence guilty of Copyright Infringement, then the affiliate program is guilty of 'Vicarious Copyright Infringement'. Even if you have no knowledge or control over that site, you're guilty.

If you read the law, the exact few paragraphs of Vicarious Copyright Infringement, you will be chilled by its verbage. It gets worse when you see what statutory damages are money wise, absolutely incredible.

The bottomline is the industry has problems. To fight these problems, support is needed from all of those in the industry. That suppport equates to money, nothing else, money!

Ron, I am with you 100% on that.

I have contacted JMM already.

Thank you, my friend :) [hey, what did he just say?:BangBang: ]

Ron, I spoke to JMM a few days ago and offered my assistance. IMPA picked a good man for the job!

glad to hear it :-)

thank you :)
