Falcon Photo Sues Pimpdog

This has been misinterpreted and miscontrued and maybe we should have been more specific in the first place. I am sorry so here is my attempt to clear it up...

If you own a program and you generate a code through your affiliate program as what is typically refered to as an "inhouse code" to track certain campaigns then that code actually belongs to an 'affiliate'. So if you own the company and are committing infringement and try and hide behind the "it was an affiliate" argument, you are allowed to get spanked. That is what we were really refering to.

Companies who spammed tried to play that "it was an affiliate" game with the FTC. We were covering our bases.

This is an issue between a group of people and companies and us. Not the real affiliate community.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I think you should vigorously persue anyone stealing your content.
Good luck

Yes this issue is one that needs to be resolved.

We get our content stolen more often than we like .

we will be going after Quantum/proadult soon if they continue to fail to respond to our offer for them to settle what they used without a license from us.

We are also involved in litigation actions in two other countries and preparing for a big one here in the USA

why big companies do this is beyond me.

I hope you get what is yours Falcon as we share the same issues ( not with this particular company though)
