Paul Markham's 2257 announcement

Paul Markham's 2257 announcement.

Eva and I have discussed this together and with our lawyers. And have come to this conclusion.

Models are the lifeblood of our company. Customers and affiliates are important but we feel that so long as we can supply the steady stream of quality models, they will continue to buy or promote us. If we stop getting these good models sales and traffic will decrease.

We also have an agreement with them to not allow the widespread distribution of their IDs.

Therefore the facility for customers to distribute our Models Ids, real names and details will remain UNACCEPTABLE as it already states on our licenses. We will not alter the license in the future or past licenses.

This may well cost us clients, however better to lose a few clients than to lose models and gain the reputation of not caring about models safety.

We have taken some action to assist content store clients who are sponsors wishing to give out softcore image sets to affiliates. These sets SPONSORS SOFTCORE IMAGE SETS are available for sponsors to buy. There will be a limit of 5 licenses sold and then the set will be deleted. This is old content and any client who bought these sets for their own use is welcome to contact me to get the set replaced. If this solution works we will be shooting sets specifically for this section.

On Bargain Basement Content Store the license will continue to allow distribution of the content to affiliates. However it will still be UNACCEPTABLE to distribute MODELS IDs and details. If this means you can no longer buy from this store then fine.

Paul Markham Content Store does not allow distribution of content to affiliates, except on the SOFTCORE SETS mentioned above.

On PAUL MARKHAM TEENS we will give out softcore free content for US affiliates and hardcore free content for non US affiliates. I respect the actions of others sponsors, but this is a US law and I do not see why non US companies and affiliates should be hampered by it. Those targeting US traffic had best get their documentation in order to comply with the law.

We will also be adding softcore free hosted galleries to the hardcore ones already there. We will also ensure that a gallery is not over exposed, as content producers we can keep a steady flow of unsaturated content on the galleries.

In the future as the number of affiliates grows on the paysite we may look at the possibility of using content to drive traffic that's not available on the content stores. This will eliminate any conflict of interests.

At the moment the number of affiliates we have is so small I do not expect it will effect anyone.

I appreciate that this law amendment will be tough on many, however we will not put models at risk, break the laws of our country or harm our company and it's employees welfare.

Also any clients who have lost documentation are welcome to contact us for replacements. We need as much information as possible. We reserve the right to charge on a client to client basis.
