1. That you obviously didn't think it through (regardless of how many lawyers you have). It is not very smart to sell content that you don't have the model info for.

2. It was just away to scam $ when other webmasters expected you to proceed the info. And of course you protected yourself legally, like all well thought out scams do.

I'm personally leaning to #2.

ps. Your lawyer didn't help your case, because we all know that 2257 won't be used agianst the scum of the earth who produce c.p , it will be used against honest webmasters since the Bush adminstration is so Christian and has to keep his bible-thumpers happy.

All due respect, I am not sure where you get that we bought the name and the content but not the IDs from Mat. All of the content that we purchased include the IDs. We just don't have all the content that Mat sold. Let me clarify this we do not sell what we do not have. We only sell that which we purchased and are entitled to sell.

To reply to your two scenarios.

#1 Yes, we did not think this through with regard to customers who bought from Isis and the new 2257. For that we are guilty as charged. We only sell content on RockBottomContent.com that adheres to the new 2257 regulations. We do not sell any content we do not have the proper docs for.

Even if we were to say, okay here you go, have at it this is all the models we have from Isis we are still not going to be able to provide all the docs to those that bought the bulk CDs or the bulk of Mat's content. We can only supply what we have. We do NOT sell or have most of the brokered content Mat sold from other producers. We purchased the transfer of content from three producers and we have a list of twelve producers from the old site. If Mat did not own it he could not sell it. To the point, there is still going to be a sizable hole to fill for the remainder of the content that people like sarah_webinc and amadman purchased. As I stated in my reply to any on who has made an inquiry by email; I will gladly provide to any customer who bought content from Mat the primary producer contact info that was on Mat's website.

#2 The reason we hired an attorney in the first place was not for 2257 at all it was to have legal contracts such as content license agreement, exclusive and non-exclusive content purchase agreements, model releases/work for hire, 50/50 brokerage and affiliate program agreement. To make sure we were compliant from the begining. Yes we knew the new 2257 was coming and we took advantage of our attorney providing us legal advise but not as diabolical scam plan to cover our ass as you might think.

I really do not think it is fair to offer such a devious opinion without all the facts. As I will mention again any one who purchased from Mat can contact me.
