Manwin Tried to Strong Arm .XXX For Mawin Support

?Thylmann again approached ICM, ostensibly interested in doing business with us,? Lawley stated in his declaration. ?He also said that he was planning to start his own adult industry trade group, consisting of the two or three ?powerhouses? of the industry (including Manwin), using organizations such as the Motion Picture Association of America and the Recording Industry Association of America as models?. He said that such a group was necessary because the Free Speech Coalition (a trade group representing certain segments of the adult industry) was not in a position to provide any real value for its members.

?After making these statements, Thylmann then set forth a list of ?nonnegotiable? demands to be met by ICM in order for Manwin to consider conducting business with ICM,? the declaration continues. ?Thylmann stated that he would ?tie up ICM in litigation? if ICM did not meet all of his demands.?

According to both Lawley and Dumas, by October the demands included:
? Allocation of several thousand dot-xxx domain names to Manwin free of charge.
? ICM?s commitment to circumvent its policy development body, the International Foundation for Online Responsibility, particularly with regard to the operation of tube sites within dot-xxx.
? Across-the-board discounts on dot-xxx domain registrations.
? Allocation of so-called ?premium? domains, including Tube.xxx, to be operated by Manwin under a revenue-sharing agreement with ICM.
?Thylmann further stated that in order to explain Manwin?s change of heart regarding .XXX, ICM had to agree to concessions that would put a positive ?spin? on Manwin?s involvement, namely, that it would appear that Manwin accomplished some positive impact for the adult industry when news of the deal was announced,? Lawley?s declaration notes.

In before the shit storm and thread lock.

Wow.

bookmarked to read later

money makes the world go round...

Thread pending deletion ...

wow shocked they are a business not mother theresa.

Adult has always been pretty gangster

Those statements are filed in ICMR's motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Manwin and Digital Playground

Theo will be here soon. There's only so fast he can jump when Nathan barks.

I read it now:thumbsup

no one should be surprised that Manwin will do what's best for them

Yea, everyone should sue ICM because they are not given 1000s of free .XXX domains, then make up some lie to put you in a positive light about why you're doing business with them. :1orglaugh

I gave it a read myself.

Bros would still suck Thylmann's cock at conventions.

I was disgusted by the photos of the recent one.

Note the BITCH Slap to FSC

"He said that such a group was necessary because the Free Speech Coalition (a trade group representing certain segments of the adult industry) was not in a position to provide any real value for its members."

Correct. They are a business, and a monolith. They will look after their best interests.

:2 cents:

Funny, that was pretty much the same thing Stuart Lawley said about the FSC.

I'm not a big Manwin fan, but I am less of an ICM fan.

Are there documents supporting the allegations, or is it based on Lawley's word?

so sad and disappointed in this **shakes head**

Mike South delivers.

Isn't Manwin in bed with the FSC in that digital fingerprinting anti-piracy operation?

I'd bet they are also contracted to put Manwin in a positive light. Pretty smart really. Make everyone legally have to speak good about you. How else could you woo companies like Playboy and have everyone line up to blow you, forgetting all the damage you've caused.

Brilliant plan.

This is very interesting!

I'd like to hear both sides of the story though.

Judging by registration numbers Lawley should have taken them up on the offer. :1orglaugh

If it's lawleys word, then it is worthless. And I think everyone knew there was more to his money grubbing scam. and now it's all starting to come to light.

Protecting children, my ass. I think his guy is the lowest of all scum.

:thumbsup

As for the allegations, let's not forget about how much of a greasy scumbag Lawley appears to be and how much he has at stake. We know that Manwin demanded that all of their domains reserved and left unused and that the threat of litigation was implicit in said demand, so it's not inconceivable that there was a negotiation of some type either before or after that information was made public. This could just be his scumbag spin on all that.

seems like power play or throwing dirt

It's a bit like Alien vs. Predator......

The only good result is they kill each other or at least keep each other busy for a while.....

Read.. now see sig

Manwin why the betrayal, oh Manwin...

Can't wait!

That is a great question.

Look....we know Stuart Lawley is, shall we say, less than forthright. We also know that Manwin is less than forthright....The only thing that adds credence to this is that it is part of a court filing, meaning they had better be able to back it up.

as was said earlier...the best outcome is that they both kill each other....

In fairness I got a response from someone I believe is inside Manwin: Its on my site as well

"ICM basically came to Manwin begging to support them. The four main things Manwin told them we absolutely needed were:
1) Stuart or any other ICM goon has to step down from IFFOR
2) They have to lower prices immediately by at LEAST 10 USDs, but we tried for much more than that. There is no reason why it should be more than 30 or so USD
3) Manwin asked them to allow some simple way to register typo domains together with the main registration. For free. Like 2 or 3 obvious typos.
4) an easy way to block typo domains together with normal blocks.
Manwin did not ask for thousands of free domains just for us, they threw around 200 or 300 of them at us the first second we talked. First year only of course. They are also the ones that suggested that Manwin run tube.xxx for example.
In regards to IFFOR rules, Manwin said we want to be sure that no stupid rules would be introduced, the "no tubes on .xxx" was just an example."

The big money is in disinformation I guess.

dezinformatsiya 4L

Whatkey? Never heard of 'em. :1orglaugh :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :thumbsup


Whoever can spread the most disinformation and get away with it, wins.

Let's hope ICM doesn't cave to them.

Life's a fad

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Apparently not you, since you're asking others about it.
