Ken: I appreciate where you are coming from and I am glad that you don't think I am accusing you of anything because I am not.
For the sake of clarifying my current confusion; however, I do recall an exchange between us on another thread where you said that you were not involved in the deal that was made. You stated that the decisions came from higher up for what all those companies finally settled for. I know you are not able to be specific about the deal, but I wonder if there is any way for you to elaborate on this dichotomy in the interest of clarity and to prevent anyone from getting a false impression.

Far-L,
The decision to settle was made by Hustler and Vivid independently. However, once they decided to settle, they asked us to review the settlement agreements and provide our input, which we did. One of our primary concerns was that our decision to settle did not have a negative impact on our affiliates.
I agree that something stinks and it is possible that someone leaked info to Acacia. I can only speak for Hustler and Vivid when I say that it was not us.
I've worked long and hard to build a solid reputation in this industry. I certainly wouldn't put my own ass on the line if I wasn't 100% sure about what I was saying.
I'm sure the truth will come out at some point. When it does, everyone will know that Hustler and Vivid did NOT sell out their affiliates. That will never happen.
Whoever did should be boycotted. Period
