Yeah, plus since I have registered the site and all images with the Library of Congress I am entitled to all attorneys fees, so in the end it would probably end up costing me nothing.

I am going to be heading back to Michigan for the holidays this afternoon, and since the weather is shitty there I'll have lots of time to talk to my attorney and see what he says. :)

I'm backing Shoehorn on this. Someone needs to call these shady ass dating sites out

:thumbsup

In other news, I'll be back in Michigan tomorrow morning for a couple weeks, we need to get something planned.

Is the far right one Next Door Nikki too?

I think so.

Pipecrew is a rational thinker
 

The images used on promotional material are taken from pictures uploaded to profiles on Fling.com. We do not practice nor condone copyright infringement.

The proper way to handle this scenario would be to contact our 24/7 webmaster support team located here: http://www.hugetraffic.com/help.htm (there are emails and ICQs), or just email webmaster at hugetraffic dot com and provide an example of the images that you would like to have removed. They typically will be removed within 24 hours, but give it a couple of days if reported during the weekend.

You get more flies with honey...you know what I mean ;) hit me up on ICQ and we can get this issue resolved right away.

You think that was my excuse for that? I know how fling operates, I have seen it first hand, I know for a fact they arent looking for solo sites nobody has heard of and stealing the images from them. This is not some operation run out of Moms basement.

Do I think its shitty that this girl keeps getting in fling? sure, but are they doing it? No. She is your average looking nextdoor girl that people are probably using to message members claiming she needs money for college etc. Some members are probably dumb enough to send money, so the behavior always continues.

Go to rapidshare or any other service and search for any bangbros video, you will see it listed over 100,000 times, do I cry and make 100,000 threads for each video? No, Do I blame rapidshare? No, I am smart enough to realize that it's obviously not rapidshare and that it's some teenager with too much time on his hands, so I have someone contact them and it gets removed in 24 hours.

Dude, hell yeah! I'll be around for the holidays. Hit me up or I'll hit you up :thumbsup

i read the terms - even though your stuff is copyright protected it is still fair game for them to use for their own use

:2 cents::thumbsup

Fiddy Thieves !! :warning

I've tried that method before to no avail. The last time I tried getting ahold of someone to get something like this taken care of it took over a week and a thread like this.

I am about to head to the airport, I will contact you when I land.

I hope you're joking.

i think not..


who's terms did you read..

i could write terms that say " all this stolen shit here is completely legal" doesnt make it legal :)

what flings terms mean is that if YOU are a member and YOU own a copyright to a picture you are submitting that they now ALSO own that copyright ( i think )

that doesn't mean you can submit playboy pics and now fling can use playboy models in advertisements , perhaps even a magazine ( best of fling )

lol ......................

Holy shiittt that sucks !

i dont believe they are doing it either ( submitting the pic ) i'm sure it is just fake members BUT i dont believe those are random pics on the banners , those are chosen , unless 50% of the profiles are fakes , then it would also seem unlikely 50% of the profiles are scammers. I see an awful lot of solo girls on the fling banners.

anyways a helpfull suggestion might be to implement some more profile reviwers to weed the scammers out.. real girls dont use fake pics thus that only leaves scammers or "auto generated members".

I'm obviously no expert on dating sites but i would think people would be more inclined to stay with less people , but more real people.

or perhaps work closely with solo girl sites so they have a email they can quickly use to get their content removed. ( i think this is easier and offers a freindlier approach )

not like they should have to constantly check , but i think the future in copyright protection will be sites that work for content owners to find and remove infringing material for them sdo its not so laborious for each owner.

like shoehorn pays a company a small fee to actively search the dating sites for infringers.

fling works actively with companys that locate copyright infringemnt for its clients

This is just one reason why I don't promote ANYONE even related to Fling and...those guys. :2 cents:

who owns fling?

It's just a sad reality that you're going to have to initiate some sort of legal action to make them take notice.

Until it becomes potentially cost prohibitive through litigation to do so, they aren't going to expend the resources necessary to deal with this issue.

That's just business.

wtf ever.... who cares...

Seriously, this happens all the time, to DatingGold, AFF, Fling, SexSearch, all the big dating sites get hit with this problem. It sucks, but there's no way around it, you basically just have to send them notice and get it taken down.
WG

It's "photo verified", end of discussion.

Bump for the evening crew :)

I sit back and laugh.

You're a fool. The minute someone actually pursues their legal remedies aggressively, both the sponsor and the affiliate, can be held accountable.

That thing with vivid suing a tube, if they win it will set precedent for the whole we dont know and its up to you to find your stuff.

Do you understand how many fake profiles are being made on Fling per day?

The site is huge, its a huge target of spammers/scammers/etc.....

Think about it.


How many fake profiles are on myspace and other dating sites?


/end

Just because they can't police it doesn't mean they should get away with copyright infringement time and time again.

Fucked up comment, the guy complaints about an infringement and you mock him. Because it is a site that according to you no one ever heard of. Hail to the BangBros. Links pulled by the way, but what do you care you never heard of me before I am sure.

Merry Christmas

:thumbsup

Just imagine how fun this type of shit will be in 5 more years.

How to get this shit done immediately.

Send a DMCA complaint WITH proof of ownership to:

Nasty Dollars
Their Host
Their Registrar
Their Attorney

Keep doing this. Eventually their host will give them a ton of shit because that act makes it illegal for all parties to turn a blind eye. In other words, if the host does nothing about your request for the removal, they are in effect co-conspirators.

Or cheaper and quicker - email them at ask them to remove them.... :2 cents:

So Fling steals content to make fake profiles but fake profiles on Myspace are created by users? I'm confused.

Whats BangBros association with Fling?

Whoa, hold up there guy. Why do something effeciently and quickly without cost when you can parade around like a big shot instead?!?

RK Net Media owns Bang Bros, Nasty Dollars, Fling, etc.

i call shananigans

haha, those fucking guys
