OCCash shuts XPCash down for stolen content!

If you are an affiliate promoting www.xpcash.com now is a good time to pull you links. Our attorneys have filed a cease and desist and the behalf of OCCash, XPCash has complied, and shut down their program.

It was brought to our attention that they were using content from brazilbang.com, kungpoapussy.com, 18interracial.com, as well as others that was stolen from OCCash websites. This was a very bold / stupid move on the behalf of XPCash, as OCCash has the exclusive internet distribution rights for this content.

Copy of the lawsuit follows:

Re: R&R Resource Management (www.occash.com) v. www.xpcash.com c/o Net Ideas, LLC

Dear Mr. Munroe:

This firm represents R&R Resource Management and its website www.occash.com (collectively “OC Cash”). As such, please direct all future communications to this firm. The unauthorized use by you, Net Ideas, LLC and your/its website, www.xpcash.com, and all its representatives, agents, directors, officers and subsidiaries, (collectively “XP Cash”), of proprietary videos exclusively licensed to OC Cash is an infringement of OC Cash’s proprietary rights and violates the rights of publicity of our client and the other models whose performances are embodied in such videos. This letter should serve, therefore, as notification pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).

The undersigned certifies as accurate and states under penalty of perjury that: (1) the undersigned is authorized to act on behalf of OC Cash; (2) the material claimed to be infringing OC Cash’s proprietary rights are images that OC Cash has exclusive rights to exploit; (3) the material claimed to be infringing of OC Cash’s proprietary rights appears on www.xpcash.com, www.blackinbrazil.com, www.asianstreetpussy.com, www.blackpussypatrol.com, www.gutterfilms.com and www.spanishbutt.com; (4) the undersigned can be reached at the address and telephone number listed on this letter, and/or at justin@lkmcounsel.com; (5) OC Cash has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by OC Cash, its licensor, its agents, or the law; and (6) the information in this notice is accurate to the best of the knowledge of the undersigned and OC Cash. Please contact me no later than June 13, 2005 to confirm your willingness to remedy this unlawful conduct.

Nothing contained in this letter, nor done pursuant hereto, shall constitute a waiver or compromise of, or otherwise affect, any rights or remedies of OC Cash, including its right to seek redress in court for www.xpcash.com’s and Net Ideas, LLC’s violation of OC Cash’s rights, all of which rights and remedies are expressly reserved.

Sincerely,
Justin D. Walker
Of Counsel

Good to see a thief shut down.

[Rocco]

very good: zero tolerance for steeling content

btw: how did they do that? did they steel the content from the occash sites or did they rip the movies from the original dvd's?

[N J]

How did they get your content - don't you stamp it? Did they simply remove the stamps or just plain stupid used it with stamps on?

Anyway as Moby said; good to see a thief shut down!

[Leon]

You gotta be kidding me. Plain stupid!!!!

[Greenguy]

I just got an email from XP:

First, we apologize. We bought content from a supplier that was stealing content from another company and handed us documentation that we thought was legitimate.

While we have been hit with a pretty hard situation, we did the right thing and pulled the sites in question down immediately so that we could go back through our content and verify things one by one.

Thanks you for your patience in understanding this matter.

I wish I would have know this before I pulled every link this morning.

the letter xxxJay posted sounds and looks like a C&D and not a lawsuit

It sure looks that way. Again, hurting a good company in the process.
