Attorney General Madigan Files Suit Against local affiliate marketer

They go after CPX for actually creating and distributing the advertisements. Most networks have refused to create ads for me because they fear something like this could happen. This shouldn't prevent them from running the offers, just not building the creative on the behalf of the advertiser. They will also probably crack down on the use of celebrity and media logos.

CPX has been copying and stealing affiliate campaigns for months, running uncompliantly has hell, trying to do triple and quadruple upsells, and doing it on their own network, as well as others. They are getting what they deserve
 


This is the meat of the report that really matters -- what $$$ amount in "awarding damages" will they determine in court?

Hmmm... So do we move the thread to StS and let WF get all of the serps and traffic this shitstorm is already brewing up or do we just leave it where it is and wait until they find WF later on?
 
Rumor has it that CPX Interactive is about to get fucked in the asshole with no lube, four ways from Friday... and not just by AOL and Oprah. ;)

I have a feeling that Larby and Rob are still going to be ok, even though it does suck.

I'm hoping someone can get a list of IP's for all the AG's. ;) Let's pool some money to make a cloaking script... hahahaha

Just so you know, my product Link Engine can actually basically do this... and actually so can anyone with any programming skill.

State of Illinois ARIN IPs. In Link Engine, you can just type in "State of Illinois" to the autosearch field to redirect that traffic somewhere else... use the generated link for your ads and you've covered basically every traffic source.

Someone with some UNIX skill could implement server wide bans, etc.


But honestly guys, just stop putting Harpo trademarks all over your damn landing pages...

How would that benefit any of us Affiliates or Advertisers who actually make money from these offers? Why would you want any of this thread to be so public? Especially with some of these replies... Why expose what we do on even another level? Doesn't make too much sense to me?

All it takes is a registration to see the other forums dude. You're not "protected" at all by this. Don't post things you don't want people to read.

Before there's ever a whiff of danger, have a serious conversation with a reputable attorney.

Been there, done that. It's called the half million dollar retainer.

Make DAMN sure the lawyer is reputable, otherwise you could wind up with a guy who bills you $250 an hour for thinking of your case in his dreams at night. (Dream Fee)
 
Wow. This is a heavy case. I was wondering how long those Oprah & Dr. Oz ads were gonna fly by incognito before the shit hit the fan. Sounds like shit has hit the fan.
