New Pill Stops Ejaculation

LONDON — British scientists have begun work on a pill that men can use as a one-off contraceptive before going out on a date. They claim that the pill can prevent a man from ejaculating but within a few hours his fertility and function would return to normal.
The latest male pill was inspired by two medicines that were previously in use for the treatment of high blood pressure and schizophrenia. Both of the medicines had side effects that prevented ejaculation in users.
Scientists hope to have it on the market in as little as five years. Scientists working on the project say that potential side effects include drowsiness and dizziness.
But Dr. John Amory, an associate professor at the University of Washington's medical school, says this new drug may have other, more dangerous side effects. Amory is currently working on another male contraceptive project.
"It's an interesting idea, but so far has not even been tested in animals -- only in the Petri dish," Amory told XFANZ in an e-mail. "Also, the medications they are using are not benign.”
Amory said that two of the drugs in the new pill can cause retinal damage and low blood pressure.
Adult star Peter North, who is known for his superabundant ejaculations, is also dubious of the new pill.
"I can't speak from any scientific point of view, but I would tend to think that controlling something like that would have an adverse affect on the libido in the long run," he told XFANZ. "In the logical way of thinking, I can’t see it not having a long-term effect down the road. I mean, who wants to be the guinea pig on that one?"
According to FreeRepublic.com, the new pill, which would be available in a tablet form, will contain chemicals that prevent ejaculation altogether, although men's fertility and function should return to normal within a few hours of stopping treatment.
"The big test would be if it worked on me," North laughed.

Durex Cites Sex Toys as Reason for Sales Surge

LONDON — Sex toys are a major profit center, according to British condom maker Durex, which attributed an 18 percent increase in sales to adult novelties.
Durex, which is owned by SSL International, earned nearly $25 million in sex toy sales, a 9 percent increase over last year’s totals.
Durex said a vibrating penis ring, a spaceship-shaped stimulator and a “tingle” condom helped drive the strong sales.
SSL CEO Garry Watts said Durex plans to launch a slew of new adult novelty products in the coming year, adding that a TV ad throughout Great Britain should help bring the company’s message to a broader audience.
The TV ad features a man proposing to a woman. Instead of the standard engagement ring, the man offers the woman a vibrating ring.
The ad will only run after 11 p.m., according to a decision by government regulators, who Watts called “daft,” adding that the ad is “very tasteful.”
“People are pretty open these days about their sex lives and media advertising is not entirely new, but what is new is putting an old-fashioned brand which denotes trust and quality behind it,” Watts said.

Real Profits with Reality Porn!

What is Real?
The conventionalist would claim reality is that which is perceptible to one of the five senses. Whereas, the independent thinker would just be stumped by the question.
Reality is what you make it and with a little effort, you could make a whole new reality.
The reality niche continues to be a strong contender in online porn. Like the non-adult reality shows on television, viewers can't seem to get enough of the porn version. While networks all over the world air shows that titillate with implied sex, online, we're giving them the real thing.
What is Reality Porn?
Reality porn is vast, perhaps too vast to define. The videos of that amateur couple fucking are reality porn. Drunken coeds', flashing their boobs on the street is reality porn. Those scenarios where the hitchhiker is gang banged by the dudes in the van, is reality porn. These are staged events but they give the illusion of reality. No responsible content provider is going to create porn without first checking IDs, making agreements with the players and signing contracts.
"If you want to make money from the reality porn niche, you'll have no trouble finding sponsors and content. The abundance of these resources is a testament to the success of this niche."In essence, all porn is reality porn because the sex is real. There is porn that is obviously scripted and staged. Then, there is porn that is made to look like it was created on the fly and in the moment. This is probably the best definition for the term Reality Porn.
Chances are you're probably not a content provider. You could be and the reality niche is one of the reasons why the opportunity is open any geek with a camera. Reality porn is easier and cheaper to create than "professionally produced" sexual scenarios. No need for scriptwriters, costumes, makeup artists, sound technicians, location managers or studio bigwigs. All it takes to create reality porn is a camera, a shooter, some willing models and sex.
Sure, that upskirt video looks authentic. More than likely it was shot with models that knew exactly what was going on. There's that clip where they trick the guy into getting head from a transsexual. Was the protagonist model really tricked into having oral sex with a tranny? Of course not. The important thing to note is that reality content only looks real. It's not real. It's content and if you're not making it, then your concern is how to sell it.

The marketing is where the blurring begins. The reality-loving audience wants the illusion. All porn is fantasy, even reality porn. It's no surprise a surfer jerks off to watching a guy get a hand-job public. He's probably imagined the same thing has happened to him. Reality is just an element in the illusion. When it looks real, it becomes part of the fantasy. Your job is to sell the fantasy in whatever niche you choose.
When you promote lesbian porn, you sell the lesbians. When you push bondage porn, you sell the bondage. When you advertise reality porn, you sell the reality.
If you want to make money from the reality porn niche, you'll have no trouble finding sponsors and content. The abundance of these resources is a testament to the success of this niche.
Every major adult sponsor offers a reality site or service to their webmaster affiliates. Some of these companies built their empires on the back of a reality paysite. There's the sponsor that made his fortune from an imaginary sorority of sex-crazed cuties. There's the other that garnered a fortune by selling access to a spycam in a house full of sexy sweeties. There are reality sponsors that have just one site. Most all reality sponsors give affiliate webmasters marketing tools like banners and hosted galleries. They lend webmasters free content and offer tips on how to best advertise their site or programs.
In addition, there's a good amount of reality content available to you if you wish to buy it or lease it. If you want to build a free site or pad your TGP with unique galleries that make money for you, there's reality content for that. If you want to add a reality section to your paysite, you can lease any number of reality porn feeds. You can buy full-length videos or numerous image sets featuring reality-based sex.
As an adult webmaster, you get to choose the niche. The reality niche is strong and it looks like it's going to be around for a long time. Your task is to decide just how you're going to make money from it. You have to study the surfers, the sites and the stuff. You must anticipate a need and fill that need. Who watches reality porn? What kind of reality porn do they watch? Do they want hidden camera porn? Do they want to see documentary-style sex acts? Are they more into live chats with cam babes? Which reality is the right reality? Which reality sponsor and content can you sell?
Reality porn is a profitable niche. If you do your research and work hard, you can make money. That's reality!

French Add Condoms to XXX

PARIS — Condom-free adult films on French cable TV are drawing their last breath.
French broadcasting watchdog High Audiovisual Council, or CSA, implemented stricter rules for the country’s nine cable TV stations that are allowed to show adult films. Under the rules, which take effect next year, unprotected sex will not be allowed.
Condomless sex is banned because it sets a dangerous example and promotes “delinquent behavior,” according to the CSA. The group noted that adult films rarely show sex between partners in committed, lasting relationships.
The CSA’s new rules were prompted by the AIDS awareness organization Act Up, which pressed the broadcast regulatory agency for the change.
“The risks actors take by having unprotected sex during filming are real,” Act Up wrote in a letter to CSA. “These films trivialize and possibly glorify risky sex.”
Adult movies ordered on demand will not be affected because those channels are not covered by the CSA’s purview.

Google Infringement Case Likely to Be Decided in January

BRUSSELS — The judge in the Belgian copyright case against Google Inc. said she will deliver her verdict after the Christmas break.
The announcement coincided with Google’s settlement with two of five groups that seek to prevent Mountain View, Calif.-based Google from linking to Belgian newspaper articles.
The case is being looked at closely by numerous adult webmasters who, like the Belgian papers, say they are being infringed upon because the search engine giant displays their content without paying them or asking their permission.
What’s more, many webmasters complain that most search engines do not make it clear to searchers that the images they find are not public domain property, leaving images vulnerable to theft.
In a similar suit in the U.S., adult content publisher Norman Zada, who owns Perfect 10 magazine and its sister website, charges that Google’s Image Search violates U.S. copyright law because it allows the search engine and other companies to profit from the use of his content without permission. That case is currently before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
In the Belgian case, Google failed to appear at an earlier court date that saw a judge order Google to remove newspaper content from its news index, threatening daily fines of $1.3 million until it complied with the ruling. A judge for the Tribunal des Referes in Brussels later agreed to give Google another hearing.
Attorneys for Copiepresse, which represents 17 newspapers, claimed Google hurt the rights of authors because it effectively gave away free archived articles they sell on a subscription basis.
But Google counsel accused the newspapers of protectionism, insisting the company hadn’t broken copyright law by showing headlines, a few lines of text and a link to the original story.
Google also has run into trouble in Scandinavia, where it launched several weeks ago. It delayed the introduction of the news service in Denmark after publishers there objected to having to opt out if they didn’t want their content displayed on Google’s website. Also, a publishing group in Norway has protested the use of its photographs, which it says is not permitted under Norwegian copyright law.

Spam on Rise, Say U.S. Security Firm, European Commission

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Two new studies show that unsolicited spam emails remain a growing global problem.
U.S. email security firm Postini also issued a bleak report on spam, finding that the number of unwanted messages has tripled since June, and that it currently accounts for 91 percent of all email.
“This dramatic rise in spam attacks on corporate networks has the Internet under a state of siege,” said Daniel Druker, executive vice president of marketing at Postini. “Spammers are increasingly aggressive and sophisticated in their techniques, and protection from spam has become a front-burner issue again. Spam has evolved from a tool for nuisance hackers and annoying marketers to one for criminal enterprises.”
Spammers are also continuously evolving their tactics, Druker said. Image spam and Microsoft Office document spam now makes up as much as 30 percent of all junk messages, up from 2 percent in 2005.
The study also describes the lengths hackers go to send spam that has a greater chance of bypassing updated corporate anti-spam filtering technology. Hackers use techniques such as re-arranging as many as 25 tiny images into an email message, or use animated GIF attachments to bypass filters.
Postini has detected 7 billion spam emails in November, compared with 2.5 billion in June. The company tracked a 59 percent spike in spam from September through November, and the daily volume of spam rose by 120 percent over the past year.
According a new study from the European Commission, spam messages are choking servers and accounting for between 50-80 percent of all sent emails. The commission also determined the financial impact of spam to be $51.1 billion worldwide in lost productivity, new filtering technology purchases, network upgrades and other associated costs. Spam costs firms up to $1,000 per employee.
EU media commission Viviane Reding implored EU governments to step up to the plate to pass legislation against spam. The EU report found that only the Netherlands and Finland were making progress against spam by enforcing a 2002 law.
A EU spokesman said the Dutch were able to enforce compliance with the law by implementing fines. EU officials are working on drafting tougher legislation, which it will push for next year that would make it easier to prosecute spammers.
Additionally, the report said that the U.S. accounts for 21.6 percent of all spam coming into the 25-country EU. China was the second biggest producer with 13.4 percent.

Deck the Halls with Mobile Porn - Fa La La La La...

Take a look at any "hot list" of the most wanted items this holiday season and you'll easily spot a growing trend. Americans have always been drawn to electronic items such as computers, video games and entertainment devices, but this season mobile devices are HUGE on most holiday shoppers' lists and it doesn't take a genius to realize that the post-holiday boom this year will focus on mobile content and services.Jupiter Research recently released a study that showed an expected increase in global mobile adult-based content to be worth approximately $3.3 Billion (US) by the year 2011. Currently this market is estimated to bring in an approximate $1.4 Billion (US). This is a slight increase over other studies that were conducted recently by Informa Telecoms and Media, which last year predicted an approximate market value of $2.3 Billion (US) by 2010.In addition to increases in the US as 3G technologies and other portable mobile devices began to catch on and gain confidence with users, European mobile users continue to grow their interest in new options and opportunities, accounting for 39% of the adult content revenue in the next five years. Video-based services are expected to account for over 70% of the mobile adult content market.Businesses have kept a close watch on the adult industry - it has brought unimaginable success to all forms of media including print, film, VHS, DVD, PPV and of course the Internet. It is expected that because of the personal experience and opportunities available with a mobile device, adult content will see an even larger growth than experienced via the home computer. Bruce Gibson, research director at Jupiter Research says, "the mobile channel will provide a different way of presenting adult content to traditional delivery channels and will reach new audiences. Mobile is about fun and instant gratification… The biggest opportunity is at the casual and softer end of the adult market… lads in pubs sharing a video clip after a few pints… people looking for a bit of fun when they have spare time to kill, etc. - not the hard core stuff."Adult businesses aren't missing a beat. British-based Respond Mobile announced earlier this month that it would launch a Euro-based service called Rhythm TV, which will edit content from adult TV stations in the UK such as XXX TV and 100% Babes to provide clips of mobile video content. The service will officially launch in January. Online search engine Guba has announced that it will offer adult content and video files specifically tailored to the new 5G Apple iPods. Guba's subscription service will run approximately $14.95/month and offers both adult and non-adult content offerings. Guba's CEO Thomas McInerney told the press this week, "We can kid ourselves, but in the end it's probably porn that people want."So when you grab that shiny new iPod, that hot mobile phone or that mobile gaming device for your loved one this holidays season, prepare yourself and know that it probably IS the porn that they will go for first.

Global Sex Study Uncovers Naked Truths, Contradicts Myths

LONDON -- Regardless of what extremists would have the world believe, it doesn't appear to be going to hell in a hand basket; at least not sexually. Not according to the results presented by the first-ever globally comprehensive study of sexual behavior.According to the study's British researchers, rumors that people are giving up their virginity younger than ever are unfounded. Likewise, claims that married people have sex less often than their unmarried friends are also untrue. Best of all, especially for those unmarried friends, is that there does not appear to be a firm connection between how often a person has sex -- or with how many people -- and the transmission of STDs. Professor Kaye Wellings of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicines, and an assortment of professional colleagues, looked over published studies about sexual behavior conducted during the past decade in 59 countries, as well as governmental data, before writing the final draft of their study and submitting it to the British medical journal The Lancet. The researchers and experts on sexuality hope that the study will be helpful to professionals who need solid and reliable information for developing effective programs regarding sexual health throughout the planet. As of now, many policies and programs rely upon stereotypes and myths about sexual conduct, as opposed to real world research. Wellings admits that she and her comrades even had some of their cherished personal opinions challenged by the survey's results, which included self-reports. Among them was an expectation that they would find rampant promiscuity in regions of Africa, where STDs including HIV/AIDS are rampant. The truth was otherwise, with multiple sexual partners being reported in industrialized nations where STDs are far less common. Although initial logic may suggest that the more partners one has sexually, the more likely one is to contract an STD, Wellings believes that the evidence points to two more insidious culprits: poverty and lack of education. She believes that it is this due which leads to decreased use of condoms, lack of understanding about their value, and ignorance surrounding how STDs are transmitted and protected against. In fact, the survey provided researchers with data suggesting that African men and women are far less sexually active than expected. Only two-thirds of those involved in the study reported recent sexual activity, compared to three-quarters of men and women involved with the study but located in developed countries. Among other popular sex myths blown out of the waterbed by the study is the belief that sexual activity in the young is beginning earlier than ever. What Wellings and her associates found instead was that in nearly every region of the world, reporters listed their first sexual encounter most often as happening in their late teens, from 15 to 19-years-old, with men more likely to begin exploring partnered sex later than women. They did find, however, that some areas varied from others. For instance, in the United Kingdom, men reported their first partnered sexual activity beginning at about 16 1/2 years of age, and women reporting theirs to have begun at 17 1/2 years of age. Indonesian men, on the other hand, waited until they were 24 1/2 years old, with Indonesian women reporting their first shared sexual contact taking place when they were 18 1/2 years old.Married sex got a PR boost from the study, as well, with the idea that marriage is the cure to sex taking a big blow. Instead, the researchers found that married couples engage in sexual activity more frequently than singles. This is of additional interest, given that more and more people worldwide are delaying marriage until later in life. While the academics agreed that this meant more unmarried people are having sex before marriage, they did not conclude that it meant they were engaging in riskier behavior while doing so. In fact, depending on their circumstances, married women were found to be at a greater risk for harm than single women.Dr. Paul van Look, director of Reproductive Health and Research at the World Health Organization, explains that, "A single woman is more able to negotiate safe sex in certain circumstances than a married woman." Examples include Asia and Africa, where husbands who frequent prostitutes and do not use condoms place their faithful and unsuspecting wives at risk of infection. By contrast, more developed nations saw a greater equality between the number of partners that men and women each enjoyed, although the rate of STD risk was not higher than that found in nations were higher numbers of lovers are more obviously gender-related. Women and men in Australia, Britain, France, and the United States, for instance, report more equal numbers of sexual partners. Not so in countries including Haiti, Cameroon, and Kenya, where men often have multiple partners while women have only one -- and STDs are a major concern.In Wellings' opinion, this information has incredible public health and policy making implications. "In countries where women are beholden to their male partners, they are likely not to have the power to request condom use, and they probably won't know about their husbands' transgressions," she points out. Even with the information that this study has provided to policy makers, the answers are not simple. "There are very different economic, religious, and social rules governing sexual conduct across the world," she explains -- and those in charge will both be affected by those rules as well as need to work around and within them.

Vidicom Launches Mobill Cash

LONDON — Vidicom has launched Mobill Cash, an alternative billing solution, which allows users to pay for content on their mobile phone bill with a premium test messaging service (PSMS).
According to Vidicom Managing Director Glyn Smith, a test run of the new service in six countries helped customers increase site membership rates by more than 30 percent. Smith also said the use of Mobill Cash accounted for a dramatic decrease in chargebacks, with only three customers out of 27,000 requiring a refund.
“Today’s growing concerns over payment fraud such as credit cards, means people want simpler, safer alternatives as well as increased convenience,” Smith said. “PSMS provides this as well as being totally discreet while allowing companies to open up to enhanced mobile services.”
Using the Mobill Cash system, webmasters can have their users pay with either a personal identification number (PIN) or text message confirmation.
Smith said he believes that the growth of SMS around the world will lead to an overall rise in the use of mobile payment solutions.
Mobill Cash is available through Vidicom in more than 50 countries.

Global Orgasm Project

SAN FRANCISCO — Two anti-war activists are asking everyone to support peace by simply coming. All at once.
The activists are also a couple: Donna Sheehan, 76, and Paul Reffel, 55.
The couple lives in a houseboat off the coast of California and have engineered a sexy pro-peace protest before. Back in 2002, they got together with a few dozen friends to spell the word "peace" with their naked bodies to protest the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Now they've started the Global Orgasm for Peace project. Here's what they want: On Dec. 22, the winter solstice, make sure you have an orgasm while thinking about peace.
From the Global Peace Project website: "The combination of high-energy orgasmic energy combined with mindful intention may have a much greater effect than previous mass meditations and prayers."
The couple said that anyone can contribute to the Global Orgasm project any time.
"We wanted to make it during the cocktail hour," Sheehan said. "But since everybody is on a different time, then it would be harder for everybody to participate."
To show others that you're in on the fun, give the global sign for "OK" -- thumb and forefinger in a circle with last three fingers extended -- and wink.
So, their plan is to cause change on a global scale -- but will all these orgasms register on the Richter scale?
"The filters we have screen out any man-made activity, like a truck rolling past, or [orgasms]," U.S. Geological Survey spokeswoman Stephanie Hanna told United Press International.
But despite this, even some hardcore skeptics plan to join the fun, including Jim Underdown, who investigates paranormal claims for the Center for Inquiry-West
"You don't need a good reason to have an orgasm," he told the San Francisco Chronicle. "Even a stupid one is OK."

Critics Debate Proposed Australian Copyright Law

SYDNEY, Australia — Critics of a copyright proposal in Australia have warned that its passage could result in serious penalties to users of video sharing sites like YouTube.
The proposed law, which is currently being debated in Australian Parliament, would make it an indictable offense for someone merely to possess a device with the intention of using it to infringe copyright. Under Australian law, all indictments must go before the justice system. The existing system allows copyright infringements to be settled by paying damages to the copyright holder without involvement of the courts.
“It has the potential to make everyday Australians in homes and businesses across the country into criminals on a scale that we have not witnessed before,” said Brian Fitzgerald, head of Queensland University’s law school. “The proposal could potentially cover a 14-year-old girl videoing herself lip-synching to her favorite pop tune and uploading this to a video-sharing website.”
Electronic Frontiers Australia, a free speech advocacy group, said the proposal also extends the list of items potentially used for copyright theft to include video players, music players, home computers and other personal devices.
“One section [of the proposal] would arguably make distribution of copyright material via the Internet a criminal offense, even where the person responsible had not intended such distribution to occur,” the group said in a statement.
Attorney General Philip Ruddock has not responded to these claims but has said the proposed law is intended to catch and punish major music and movie pirates, not personal users.
Politicians and experts are debating the proposal in Parliament before a final version is put to vote, which is expected to be some time next year.

“I am extremely excited to be working with one of the industry's pioneers and leaders,” McDooling said. “AEBN has been a great innovator, and I look forward to being apart of such a great company and team.”

World's First-Ever Televised Sex Toy Ad Give Brits Something to Give Thanks For

UNITED KINGDOM -- Thursday may not officially be Thanksgiving in the United Kingdom, its less prudish citizens will have something new to be thankful for -- although they'll need to stay up late to know it.The country's very first televised sex toy ads are set to airing on Channel 4 and 5 at 11:00 pm and mega condom manufacturer Durex is to thank.The company, which occupies 30-percent of the condom market and has expanded into the world of lubricants and vibrators, hopes that the world's first-ever televised sex toy commercial will not only appeal to the audience's sexy side, but also it's humorously romantic side. According to pre-airing scuttlebutt, the commercial opens with an opposite sex couple enjoying dinner together. The man hands the woman a small box, presumably containing an engagement ring. When she opens it, and proclaims, "I do!" the world learns that she has been gifted with a Durex vibrating penis ring. Ain't love grand?

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Some foreign visitors and flight crew have demanded the removal of a giant wooden sculpture of a penis on display at Taipei’s international airport.
The sculpture is part of an exhibition of items from the Thou tribe, one of Taiwan’s ten tribes, and it has been referred to as “The Thing” by foreign crew members and flight attendants.
Some offended people have posted photos of the sculpture on their websites.
Representatives of the Taoyuan International Airport were going to move the sculpture to a quieter corner of the exhibit, but the Thou tribe refused, saying that, since ancient times, the giant phallus has been used to appease their region’s female “mountain god,” who will unleash rocks and mudslides if angered.
The Thou tribe also pointed out that some Japanese people also worship phallic sculptures as fertility symbols and that many Japanese visitors to the airport have posed for photos with the sculpture, as reported in the Asia Pacific News.
Airport authorities are weighing their options as to what the final outcome will be concerning the phallus.

Naughty America Announces Launch of Naughty American History

SAN DIEGO, CA – Naughty America announced today the launch of an educational website with a twist; an interactive history lesson where your professor sheds clothing in return for correct answers to questions that quiz the user on their knowledge of American history.

“Naughty America is a fun and sexy Internet company and we know what adult men and women on the internet want,” stated an unidentified spokesperson for Naughty America in a press release issued Wednesday. “They want to see something – be it fictional, breaking news, sad or funny – whatever it is, they always want to pass it along.”

Naughty America hopes that the urge to share will drive users of their new site, NaughtyAmericanHistory.com, to pass along the word about the bawdy online history lesson to their friends and families – the essence of viral marketing.

“Naughty American History allows internet users the opportunity to select a virtual professor, male or female, and answer questions encompassing American politics, past and current events and other general American trivia which have shaped the nation since its birth in 1776,” the company states in its press release. “With each correct response, the questions increase in difficulty – and an item of the professor's clothing is removed.”

The questions aren’t particularly challenging, at least in the early stages of the quiz – the first question in the quiz when YNOT sampled the site was the multiple choice question concerning the number of individual states in the United States of America.

Naughty American acknowledges that the real point is to spread a little fun, and maybe spread a little knowledge, along the way.

“The philosophy of Naughty America is simple,” the company states in its release. “We deliver quality adult entertainment that features the sexual practices of the American bedroom.”

Naughty America is founded upon on the notion that “sexuality is a positive form of self-expression,” and the belief that “exploring ‘naughtiness’ (the realm of playful sexiness and everyday sexual fantasies) brings satisfaction and happiness to our customers.

U.K. Removes Denial-of-Service Attacks from "Legal Gray Area"

UNITED KINGDOM -- If you're thinking of launching a denial-of-service attack against a person or group that you don't like, they'd best not be in the United Kingdom or you could get into big trouble.Although experts say that the attacks had previously existed in "a legal gray area," lawmakers have changed that, making it an offense to hamper the ability of any computer system to operate. The Police and Justice Bill 2006 supercedes the previously applicable Computer Misuse Act 1990 (CMA), which was created prior to common use of the internet. The bill, given Royal Assent earlier this month, also includes clauses prohibiting behavior that denies users access to programs or data stored on a computer, or interfering with the ability of any data or program stored on a computer to operate. Violators of the new law now face maximum cybercrime penalties of up to 10 years in jail, as opposed to the previous five.The CMA had only prohibited unauthorized modification of computer systems, and not the rendering of an entirely computer system inoperable via data overload, thus leaving denial-of-service attacks in the aforementioned "legal gray area." This has been used as a defense by individuals who might otherwise have been convicted of cybercrimes, including David Lennon, whose mailing of 5 million emails to his former employer caused the email server to crash. His successful November 2005 argument stated that since an email server exists to receive email, the number of emails sent to it, no matter how large, could not be deemed an unauthorized modification to it. The case was later overturned and Lennon sentenced to two months' electronic tagging with an enforced curfew.

Google Trends: Porn Popular in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY — Some webmasters might be surprised to learn that many users who visit their sites based on Google search engine results live in states such as Utah, according to a newspaper columnist in the state.
Matt Homer, a columnist for the Daily Utah Chronicle, used Google Trends and got what he called “bizarre results,” finding that Salt Lake City users are searching for “pornography,” “repentance” and “fry sauce” at a greater rate than any other location in the U.S.
Google Trends allows users to track keyword searches by location. Users enter a keyword and Google Trends tells them which locations use that keyword most frequently.
Homer said he decided to use Google Trends to verify reports that Salt Lake City ranks No. 1 in the U.S. for pornography searches.
“Salt Lake City ranks first in the nation for searches using the term ‘pornography,’ but only fifth in the entire world,” he said. “Who searches for ‘pornography’ more than we do? India. Enter a few off-color words and, before long, you'll notice something eerily nasty about the land of curry.”
While Homer’s study was not scientific, he did note that users seemed more than comfortable searching both for pornography and so-called conservative keywords.
Salt Lake City ranks in the top 10 for the following searches: “President Bush,” “patriotism,” “Fox News,” “marriage amendment,” “Sean Hannity” and “American flag.”

Is That a Cock in your Pocket or are you Wearing a Wonderjock?

AUSTRALIA -- Women may insist otherwise, but men continue to believe that size counts, at least when it comes to their penises. Whether he agrees or not, Sean Ashby isn't likely to claim otherwise any time soon -- especially since it's helping make his own bank account bigger.Ashby is the mastermind behind the latest male enhancement product to hit the garment industry: the "Wonderjock."The Wonderjock, produced by Australian underwear maker AussieBum, "separates and lifts" men's jumbly bits and then pushes them out and up front via a fabric cup. "There is no padding, rings, or strings," Ashby assures the underwear curious, who co-founded the virtual property that belongs to AussieBum. Only in business for a few weeks, AussieBum.com, with the help of a few shops throughout the world, claims to have sold 50,000 bottom heavy intimate under garments. Inspired by online feedback from men who wanted the same benefit that women enjoy with their famous Wonderbra, the Wonderjock performs essentially the same duty, just with soft and wobbly mounds of flesh located farther south on the male body. Although hindsight may well be 20/20, Ashby admits that it idea had never really occurred to him. "Our customers give us feedback. We didn't realize that big is better."Now he knows.

XonDemand Hits Video Milestone With 30,000

HATBORO, Pa. — Pay-per-minute adult video-on-demand provider XonDemand has reached a milestone with the addition of Video 10 Productions’ “Foreskin Follies” to its site. The website now has 30,000 videos and counting.
According to XonDemand President Frank Ryan, the company has surpassed the expectations he set for it three years ago when the site launched.
“When I first started XonDemand approximately three years ago, I honestly never thought we’d be announcing 30,000 titles already,” Frank Ryan said. “Averaging 10,000 titles added per year, XonDemand has far exceeded my expectations for acquiring new content. And what’s great is it shows no signs of ending. We continue to receive new shipments on a regular basis from all the great studios we’ve partnered with in order to bring only the best in adult VOD to our customers.”
On average, XonDemand adds more than 800 titles per month across a range of categories, including gay, straight, fetish, lesbian and voyeur niches.

Lawyer: No Spears Tape

LOS ANGELES — Mark Vincent Kaplan, Kevin Federline's attorney, said that there is no Federline-Britney Spears sex tape.
Kaplan issued the statement as a response to the rampant rumors concerning the alleged sex video of the couple enjoying their honeymoon.
Rumor had it that Federline was offered $120 million for the tape by online adult mogul David Hans Schmidt, and that Spears, in an effort to curtail Federline making money from the deal, would give it away for free.
"While this is endemic of countless false and inaccurate stories that have made their way into the media regarding Kevin, his marriage to Britney, and the divorce proceedings which they are presently going through, I want to put this issue to rest once and for all," Kaplan told Access Hollywood.
He continued: "There is not a sex video of Kevin and Britney in existence. It goes without saying that the stories of Kevin attempting to sell such a video are patently false and anyone who reports that they have information of such attempts is either lying or reporting the lie of someone else."
The couple, who married in 2004, filed for divorce earlier this month. Federline has been seeking custody of their two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

DOJ, ACLU Make Closing Arguments in COPA Case; Judge’s Ruling Expected in Early ‘07

PHILADELPHIA, PA – Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union presented their closing arguments Monday in the case ACLU v. Gonzales, the ACLU’s legal challenge of the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), legislation signed into law by then-President Bill Clinton in 1998.The DOJ and ACLU relative positions in the case are both clear and diametrically opposed. The DOJ, for example, argues that internet "filters" are insufficient to achieve the stated goal of “protecting” children online and COPA is needed in order to mitigate the damage that “material harmful to minors” does to children surfing the internet.The ACLU, on the other hand, observes that as COPA cannot be applied to pornography and other “harmful” materials hosted on foreign servers and/or that are posted on sites that are non-commercial, COPA would substantially fail to provide any meaningful protection to children.Also at issue is the ACLU’s contention that COPA is worded in a fashion so vague and with standards so expansive that a wide variety of non-pornographic, non-obscene speech could be subject to the terms of the Act and potential criminal liability for failing to comply with a law ostensibly designed to keep children from accessing online pornography. The end result of such overreaching on the part of COPA’s verbiage, the ACLU argues, is the chilling of a substantial amount of speech that is presumed to enjoy the protection of the First Amendment.“Since Congress passed this law, the Internet has changed and it is now clear that this harsh, criminal law won’t come close to achieving its goals,” said Chris Hansen, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU. “It is also clear that other alternatives, including education and filtering, are far more effective for those parents who want to limit access by their children to certain websites using their own values.”Over the past four weeks of hearings, government attorneys and their expert witnesses have been attempting to make the case that filters are incapable of blocking enough content that is “harmful to minors” to be a sufficient protection tool on their own, while simultaneously arguing that filters detract from the educational process by blocking material that is not harmful to minors.According to the research and testimony of University of California, Berkeley statistics professor Philip B. Stark, one of the expert witnesses testifying for the DOJ, the strictest Web filter tested in Stark’s research, AOL’s “Mature Teen” filter, blocked 91-percent of the sexually explicit websites indexed by Google Inc. and Microsoft’s MSN. Less restrictive filters blocked a little over 40-percent of such sites, according to Stark’s study, Stark’s research also indicated (by extrapolating from a random sample) that 1.7-percent of search results supplied by AOL and Yahoo are “sexually explicit,” as are at least 1.1-percent of sites indexed by Google and MSN.Around six-percent of all searches return at least one sexually explicit website, according to Stark, and the most popular search terms yield such a site close to 40-percent of the time.Hansen counters that however “ineffective” the government may deem software filters to be, the nature of COPA renders the law far less effective.“Filters are more than 90-percent effective, according to Stark,” Hansen said recently, during a break in the trial. “COPA – right out of the bat – doesn’t block the 50-percent(hosted) overseas. So, COPA is substantially less than 50-percent effective.”“Also, with filters, it’s up to the parents how to use it,” added Hansen, “whereas COPA requires a one-solution-fits-all (approach).”The evidence submitted during the hearings, in particular some of the evidence rejected by Judge Lowell A. Reed, appears to support some of the ACLU’s claims concerning COPA’s weaknesses.At the close of the November 15th hearings, attorneys for the DOJ attempted to enter into evidence “an overseas prosecution of events which occurred outside of the United States concerning internet websites where the wagerers gambled almost exclusively from the United States,” as described by DOJ attorney Kenneth E. Sealls.The case in question that the DOJ wanted to enter into evidence is US v. BetOn Sports, which is, as of this moment, simply an indictment.Hansen objected to the inclusion of the BetOn Sports indictment, on the grounds that the case is not relevant to COPA and, as the case has not been adjudicated, the indictment lacks any probative value.Sealls countered that the indictment contains “language which is a situation which we present as almost analogous to the type of law that COPA is insofar that COPA’s overseas reach, we submit, would govern out-of-the-country internet websites where the activity is conducted from persons in the United States.”“This is, your honor, something that shows that the Department could extend overseas the application of COPA,” Sealls added at a hearing last Wednesday.When Judge Reed noted that the exhibit was “merely an indictment, not an adjudication and the statute language is not identical,” and pressed Sealls for reasons why it should be included, Reed conceded that was an accurate assessment, but argued that fact “really goes to the weight, not the admissibility (of the evidence) insofar that the indictment means that there was a prosecution brought.” Sealls argued that while the statute in question is not COPA, and there has been no conviction or ruling of any kind by the court in the case, the case nonetheless serves as an example of the “overseas reach of a criminal statute concerning the use of the internet by persons in the United States when the transmission is coming from overseas.” Judge Reed wasn’t persuaded by Sealls’ assertion that the BetOn Sports indictment was relevant or probative, and characterized Sealls’ argument as “the most bizarre way to prove a legal argument."“All it proves is that the Department of Justice – the United States of America, rather – has brought such a claim in its prosecutorial role in the United States,” Judge Reed observed. “That is all that it has proved. There is no binding effect. It has no legal – you could not rely on it in an argument before the court of appeals. It’s not binding on anybody. It’s not a published opinion. I fail to figure out the relevance.”Sealls reiterated the DOJ’s position that the indictment was relevant, insofar as it demonstrated the DOJ’s “course of conduct” with respect to another internet-regulatory statute.Judge Reed said that while he was “reluctant to turn down any evidence that may be helpful... I can’t figure what in the world I would do with it, quite frankly.” Adding that he was “not annoyed in any way,” Judge Reed nonetheless noted that the he wasn’t sure that “the course of conduct of the Department of Justice is an issue in this case,” and declined the exhibit on the basis of relevance, sustaining the ACLU’s objection.In a press release issued by the ACLU yesterday, the ACLU stated that Judge Reed’s ruling in the case is expected “in the next few months.”

News Gets Worse for iBill’s Parent Company

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — Interactive Brand Development’s business activities have slowed so much that the company in the last quarter saw a cash overdraft of $104,000, while it struggled with a working capital deficit of $32.4 million.
iBill’s parent also revealed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that its revenue was only three digits — $133 — in the period July through September. Last week, the company told regulators it made $82,000 in the last six months.
Further, the filing revealed that iBill had summary and default judgments of approximately $4.4 million in adult webmaster cases this year.
XBIZ was unable to reach officials at IBD for comment Tuesday.
The Deerfield Beach, Fla., company dumped its third-party processing services in April through iBill and relies solely on commissions from contracts to resell processing services. But, in the latest filing, the company explains a plan to continue offering preloaded and reloadable debit cards through its Card Stream division to clients who secure loans through other companies, including payday loan company Easy Money Inc.
Earlier this year, IBD struck a deal with LitFunding Corp. to provide marketing to its large customer base, directing potential customers to Easy Money, which Las Vegas-based LitFunding recently acquired.
IBD has been scrambling to quell legal action by unpaid adult webmasters in the past year. The company said it had a client payout balance of nearly $17 million, not counting court judgments.
The company also is disputing a default on a loan from investment bankers IIG Trade Opportunities Fund that has helped the company keep running, despite the high cost of interest expenses.
IBD, in the first nine months of the year, accrued an unpaid interest expense of $1.05 million, and the company is seeking even more capital.
“If we are unable to obtain additional borrowings to satisfy the settlements and judgments [discussed], we may not be able to meet our current operating needs,” the company said in the filing.
The filing also revealed an arbitration award against iBill its subsidiary Media Billing Inc. in the amount of $5.2 million. IBD said the suit involved the original purchase agreement between Penthouse and InterCept, which at one time owned iBill.
IBD said it seeks funds to cover an appeal of the judgment.
“We will need additional funding to satisfy the outcome of the order and appeal,” the filing said.

Too Much Media Releases New NATS

MORGANVILLE, N.J. — Too Much Media has released a new version of its popular NATS backend software with new improvements, updates, corrections and functionality.
With the release of NATS v3.1.14, Too Much Media also changed its support policy and will officially be discontinuing support of all earlier versions of NATS as of Feb. 1, 2007, a company rep said.
The 60-day window gives companies time to switch to the latest NATS version. In order to utilize the new NATS, clients must install MCrypt prior to the upgrade. Additionally, all new installations and upgrades require new license files to be placed on the server.
NATS, also known as Next-generation Affiliates and Tracking Software, is a backend program with customizable tracking and billing features.
NATS runs on the customer’s servers and comes with two different purchasing options: an outright purchase and a monthly rental. A standard NATS system offers options for configuring payment tiers and setting up multiple processor accounts for unlimited types of programs and partnerships.
New to NATS v3.1.14 is an instant payout feature for ePassporte payments. This new feature gives affiliates the ability to execute payouts themselves via a payments.php script, Too Much partner John Albright said.
In the resellers admin panel, Too Much Media implemented an activity report feature. This new report allows resellers to generate a configurable list of affiliate data based on date criteria and statistical filters, such as quantity of raw hits, unique hits, signups and payment amounts. It also allows for the generation of a contact list for poorly performing affiliates, and also to affiliates who are performing well so they can be sent tips on improving, or compliments for a job well done.
The panel also could be used for tax reporting purposes, since webmasters can include dollars earned for a specified period of time and information for each affiliate including name, address and tax ID.
Additional functionality includes a new members, affiliates and sites admin panels. Also included are more join options, verified-unverified sales classifications and bug fixes.
With NATS v3.1.14, Pure Vanilla, NetCash, WebPay and Wmp are fully integrated into the system.

Spears Sex Tape Update

KAHNAWAKE, Quebec — Online sportsbook BetUS.com has entered negotiations for the alleged honeymoon sex video of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. BetUS has joined two other unknown bidders for the sex tape. The opening price: $50 million.
“I think we’ll have it sorted out by the weekend,” Christopher Bennett, publicist for BetUS, told XFANZ. “We’re aggressively trying to get it. But we don’t know where the other two [bidders] are coming in at. It’s being done with our guys in New York.”
Although Bennett said that BetUS is confident they’ll acquire the tape — the existence of which has not been proved publicly — he pointed out that his firm felt the same way about the Screeched sex video made by former child star Dustin Diamond, which went to Red Light District instead.
“I’m not concerned about us not winning the bidding,” Bennett said of the alleged Spears video. “I’m worried [Federline] will end up not selling it. I think Britney is going to put an offer down and try to block it. I don’t even think it’s going to hit the market at this point. It sounds like [Federline] is just trying to get custody of his kids and get some spousal support. He has to consider which he wants more — whatever he can rake in off this video or roll the dice in divorce court.”
Although Federline initially asked for $50 million, according to Bennett, the BetUS publicist said he believes the video will sell for substantially less than that. The negotiations currently are being held with Federline’s agent, Brian Bunnin of ICM, according to Bennett. Financial arrangements of the deal will have to be approved by BetUS investors before a transaction is concluded.
BetUS believes that Spears’ popularity will result in sales figures that would double those of the Paris Hilton sex video.
“After the Paris tape dropped and became a huge hit, you would think Britney would have gotten rid of the tape,” Bennett said.
BetUS claims to have more than 100,000 members in the U.S. alone for it’s online betting business. If it acquires the tape, BetUS intends to allow its members to see it for free, but will charge non-members $29.95 to download it.
XFANZ reported last week that celebrity sex tape broker David Hans Schmidt also had entered talks to purchase the alleged sex tape.

ASACP Adds SegPay

LOS ANGELES — E-commerce payment provider SegPay has shown it is serious about combating child pornography by signing on as the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection’s newest corporate sponsor.
“SegPay was founded on the basic principles of security and safeguarding the webmasters who select us as their processor,” SegPay’s compliance officer Nick Toth said. “Our goal is always to operate at the highest possible level of compliance with these principles.

“ASACP sponsorship means stepping up and contributing to the industry’s child protection efforts,” ASACP Executive Director Joan Irvine said. “And that’s what SegPay is doing. They know it’s not just about making a buck, or processing a buck. SegPay is demonstrating their commitment to kids, and to the future of the industry.”

YNOT Announces Updates to Message Boards

BURBANK, CA – YNOT Network announced today policy changes concerning its YNOT.com adult webmaster message boards. Effective immediately, YNOT has updated the rules that govern its General Board in an effort to make the board friendlier to both industry veterans and newbies alike.“We have traditionally had some of the strictest policies in the industry in terms of what we consider spam,” said Connor Young, President of YNOT Network. “While I think the goal of keeping our message boards professional and on topic was commendable, a side effect was that too many legitimate announcements were being purged. With our new, less restrictive policies in place, we think the YNOT General Message Board will now provide a better place for webmasters to network, interact, and keep their finger on the pulse of the industry.”While the rules for the new General Board will be greatly relaxed, popular topic boards like “Newbie” and “Legal & Politics” will still be heavily moderated, meaning those webmasters who prefer a more ordered message board experience can still find that on YNOT.The YNOT chat boards have also undergone some minor technical changes. The YNOT General Board will now show message threads from all of the boards on YNOT, meaning surfers can use the General Board to see all of the topics presently being discussed. Additionally, typing in boards.ynot.com will now take surfers straight to the YNOT General Board, bypassing the home page. Enhancements have also been made to the way the message boards display images, so webmasters who want to share pictures of their latest Web models will now find YNOT’s boards much improved.“Rick Muenyong founded YNOT as an industry resource, and we want to stay sensitive to the needs of the adult webmasters who use YNOT on a day to day basis,” says Young. “The changes that we made were simple, but they will have a very big impact on the nature of our message boards.”

“ObjectCube.com had the best technology when it came to VOD over Internet, and at the same time they are unmatched in their standards when it comes to VOD technology in adult,” Amar said. “Because of these factors, ObjectCube.com was our natural choice.”

AMS Launches Merchant Account Solution for Webmasters

LONDON — Adult Mobile Solutions has launched mVERIFY Direct, a new service that allows adult webmasters to establish their own merchant bank accounts.
The service lets webmasters “sidestep” the risks associated with large-scale aggregated payment accounts, the company said.
The spokesman said AMS decided to launch mVERIFY Direct after the demise of payment processor Paymonde.
XBIZ confirmed that Paymonde went out of business last week after its bank in the Philippines lost acquiring rights to process Mastercard transactions.
“With a merchant account, at the core of the new mVERIFY Direct service, every webmaster has the security of having their own account,” a spokesman said. “Problems such as excessive chargebacks affecting one webmaster are self-contained. All other webmasters remain unaffected.”
mVERIFY Direct also will help webmasters save money because it allows them to eliminate the administrative tasks associated with aggregated payment processors, AMS said.
“mVERIFY Direct is a significant evolution of AMS’s, which serves adult webmasters all over the world,” the spokesman said. “With a range of payment channels, access to an international marketplace, fast setup, better rates, rock solid security and anti-fraud measures behind it, the new Direct service promises to make adult billing a much safer option.”

Google, Yahoo, Microsoft to Use Same Web Indexing Tool

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Search engine leaders Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have said they have agreed to increase Internet interoperability by adopting the same web indexing tool. The decision helps webmasters ensure that their sites can be found on each search engine.
Google Sitemaps protocol, a year-old indexing tool, will become the standard for all three companies.
Website operators can use the indexing tool to manually feed their sites to Google and then check to see if their sites have been crawled. Yahoo and Microsoft have similar products, but the decision to unify efforts will allow webmasters to cut down on duplicated efforts, according to Yahoo Director of Product Management Tim Mayer.
“We thought it would be great for publishers and webmasters to be able to submit their content in one format for all the different search engines,; Mayer said. ;We are proposing the format together and inviting other search engines to adopt it.;
According to Mayer, the initial idea came out of cooperation between Yahoo and Google, with Microsoft joining soon after to launch the triumvirate.
;Windows Live Search is happy to be working with Google and Yahoo on Sitemaps to not only help webmasters, but also help consumers by delivering more relevant search results so they can find what they're looking for faster,; Windows Live Search General Manager Ken Moss said. ;I am sure this will be the first of many industry initiatives you will see us working and collaborating on.;
Manual webpage submission is a supplement to the traditional web crawling method.

MSIE 7 Auto-Updates Begin

Automatic updates to the new Internet Explorer 7 have started popping up for MSIE 6 users last week in what Microsoft's Director of Product Management has called ;a very slow distribution.; The updates were expected on November 1st, but Microsoft says that they wanted to do the automatic updates slowly - about 1% of users - or one million PCs - per day. While the update contact is automatic, users are being asked first whether they want to install the new version of IE before launching the installation.Security updates are due next Tuesday, during the auto-update cycle for IE, but Microsoft has stated that the security updates will take precedence over the auto-updates, giving priority to the security fix issues. So far the update has been ;quite smooth,; according to the director. The entire process is expected to take approximately several months to complete, but IE staffers are hoping that it will be completed much sooner.

Government Study: Approximately 1% of Web Content is Sexually Explicit

According to a study of Internet search queries and a sampling of random Web pages taken from both Google and MSN Search, analysts say that only approximately 1% of all Web pages on the Internet contain sexually explicit materials. The study results were used in Federal Court last week in Philadelphia in a case that was brought against US Attorney General Gonzales by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).The ACLU's position is that the study supports their challenge of the Children's Online Protection Act (COPA) that was signed by President Clinton back in 1998 - an Act that the current Attorney General and other Government Officials are attempting to resurrect. The ACLU believes that the study shows that the Department of Justice is over zealous in its efforts to create criminal penalties in order to protect minors from exposure to adult content sites on the Internet.
The Federal District Court in Philadelphia as well as a Federal Appeals Court found the law to be unconstitutional. Back in June of 2005, the Supreme Court upheld the ban on enforcement of the law as well, however it sent the case back to the Philly district court for more ;fact finding; regarding the use of Internet filters. Catherine Crump, a staff attorney for the ACLU told the press, ;One of the things we think came out of the government's study is that the chance of running into graphic content on the Web when filters are on is extremely low.; In fact, the study showed that only 6% of all queries returned a sexually explicit Web site despite the high-rate of popular sex-related queries posed on the 'Net each day. The data used in this study has seen controversy in the news itself. The data comes from a court order by a federal judge that required Google to turn over 50k random copies of Web pages from its index after a long battle over what Google called ;privacy issues; that would put both its users and trade secrets at risk. MSN, Yahoo and AOL also turned over search query data that assisted in the results of this study. Experts say that the study's overall results reveal that the Internet ;reflects life; and contrary to popular opinion, is not ;more sexual than people are in general.

iBill Parent Claims It Only Made $82,000 in Last 6 Months

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — Unable to collect and prepare its financial data, iBill parent Interactive Brand Development notified Thursday the Securities and Exchange Commission that it could not meet the deadline for its quarterly filing.
Nevertheless, the company, which once did business as a third-party processor but now resells process services, told the SEC that for the last six months of the year it had a miniscule revenue figure of $82,000.
IBD said that the revenue was based solely on commissions from contracts to resell processing services. The company ceased providing processing services in April.
The past several years have been problematic for the public company.
IBD has been scrambling to quell legal action by unpaid webmasters in the past year. In August the company said it had a client payout balance of nearly $17 million. It also said it had court judgments totaling $2.3 million.
The company also is disputing a default on a loan from investment bankers IIG Trade Opportunities Fund.
XBIZ could not reach IBD officials for comment by post time.

World Wide Web Turns Sweet 16

It's likely that most readers of this article have spent plenty of time online during November, and the month isn't even over. But it's equally likely that very few of those same readers know that this is a special month in the history of the internet. November, after all, is the month during which W3, also known as the World Wide Web or internet, was born.According to the timeline found on W3.org, November was a busy month for the fetal communications medium with, among other innovations, a WYSIWG (What You See Is What You Get) browser/editor with embedded links being developed. Without the very first website, however, the browser would have been pointless.If W3.org is correct, that very first web server was nxoc01.cern.ch, which was eventually renamed info.cern.ch and hosted the very first website, http://nxoc01.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html. Although CERN no longer supports this venerable website, some comfort may be gained by knowing that http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/Link.html looks the way it always has and appears to be the oldest unchanged website still online, having been updated an impressive 16 years ago on Tuesday, November 13th, 1990.

Zangoblacklist.com hopes to become the definitive site used for fighting Zango by gathering articles, tools, removal information for user’s. Our hope is that by reporting users of Zango consumers will stop using these products causing companies to rethink their position on using spyware.
Over the past few months a fire storm of controversy has been created around the unfair marketing tactics Zango employs in it’s spyware. Zango infects computers with their software when people download games from their site or share these games with friends. At this time their computers are monitored so that Zango can provide the user with targeting advertisements.
The real issue begins when the Zango software rewrite cookies from sites that they are marketing. Marketers sending traffic to affiliate program’s using Zango essentially take credit for traffic that was originally developed by other independent marketers. Another issue with Zango is that competitors can bid on keywords, including the names of sites which means that when an infected user attempts to visit site that key words have been purchased for they are redirected to the competitor’s site.
Zangoblacklist.com is pleased to be alive and kicking, and with the public’s help can assist the world internet in handling the Zango problem.

LustyBucks Combines Programs So Webmasters Earn More

TORTOLA, BVI — LustyBucks, the revolutionary traffic program that combines a live video chat network with solo girl paysites, made an announcement today that marks a giant leap in referral program evolution: Combined Programs.
With LustyBucks’ new Combined Program, every custom-generated linking code is seeded with more payout options, doubling and tripling the earning potential of all traffic, right down to the most granular level.
Whereas most affiliate programs operate in a lockstep manner—revshare or per-join, console or console-free—with the LustyBucks Combined Program you’re given myriad options to map out each member’s user experience and trigger hefty commissions on their purchases, now and later.
LustyBucks’ proprietary LinksWizzard is the launch pad for every Combined Program strategy. With the nimble, LinksWizzard interface, affiliates are able to build interconnected upsell links with a hierarchy of payout options in seconds.
Affiliate manager, Julius, could not contain his excitement about the new program offering. “The Combined Program generates short and long-term earnings for every affiliate. Let’s say you want to marry the CamGuest.com Per-Join option to the Solo Girl Partnership program. With the Combined Program, that’s a breeze. A link code embedded with all that payout information can be created in a snap. Then it’s just a matter of watching the money roll in.”
In the above example, as with every Combined Program option, the money rolls in from multiple revenue streams. On the first payout tier, traffic is monetized inside CamGuest.com at a rate of $40 - $100 per join. On the second tier, that same member pays out again when he’s upsold to any solo girl site—whether that happens today or months from now.
LustyBucks has been making great waves with affiliates since its initial launch. The company’s best-in-breed live cam network, CamGuest is a haven for straight and gay traffic, offering a stable of hot models 24/7. The state-of-the-art video interface is feature-rich, giving surfers superior video resolution and sound, as well as the ability to control camera angle, zoom functionality and more.
LustyBucks solo girl sites—including LollyDolly.com, SandysPleasure.com, AngelEmily.com, JillandLilly.com and SugarAmy.com—are CamGuest’s interoperable siblings, offering surfers up-close, personal relationships with select CamGuest models, and affiliates more opportunities to generate revenue.
And if that wasn’t enough, LustyBucks has just added a lucrative, 10% revshare bonus for webmasters promoting CamGuest.com.
Said Julius, “That means, no matter how much you’re already earning with CamGuest Webcams, we’re going to give you an addition ten cents on every dollar!”
LustyBucks pays out affiliates 2x monthly, and payment options include ePassporte, regular and overnight checks, wire transfer and direct deposit.

COPA Trial Becomes Battleground for Experts

PHILADELPHIA — With the Child Online Protection Act (COPA) trial entering its third week to determine the constitutionality of a law that — if enforced — would require adults to use access codes or credit cards to view material considered to be “harmful to children” online, the Philadelphia Inquirer has reported that the courtroom has become a battle of the pundits, with expert witnesses making the case for each side.
The trial over the 1998 COPA legislation, which provides for $50,000 in fines and up to six months in prison for webmasters who fail to comply with the law, has become a “porn trial without dirty pictures,” Philadelphia Inquirer staff writer Joseph Gambardello said.
In a pretrial ruling, U.S. District Judge Lowell Reed, who is presiding over the bench trial, said the display of adult material would not be necessary in the American Civil Liberties Union Case against the U.S. Government.
Making the case that COPA is an overbroad restriction of protected speech and that filters are a better solution, the ACLU lawyers have called a range of artists, online writers and filtering experts as witnesses in the trial.
Countering the plaintiff’s claim that filtering is an effective way to keep children from viewing adult content, Justice Department lawyers relied on Rutgers University linguistics professor Stephen Neale, who told the court that no filter could succeed in blocking every porn site. Neale also made the point that filters run the risk of blocking legitimate sites. For example, most filters would, likely block a site dedicated to the issue of breast cancer,, Neale said.
On cross-examination, an attorney for the ACLU asked Neale how all porn sites could be blocked?
“Pulling the plug on the web is the only thing I can think of,” Neale said.
In a separate component of the trial, both sides presented witnesses addressing COPA’s mandate that users verify their age with access codes or credit cards.
According to government lawyers, credit cards are an excellent way to safeguard children online. ACLU lawyers made the point that some minors have access to credit cards while many poor adults do not.
One potentially big revelation from the trial, according to Gambardello, was the government’s concession that many of the plaintiffs in the case would be covered by COPA.
The ACLU has taken the lead in the case among a list of plaintiffs that includes Salon.com, Condomania and sex advice site Scarleteen.com. With Justice Department lawyers saying the plaintiffs in the case are not the intended targets of the law, Gambardello said the focus was clearly online pornographers.
Free Speech Coalition Board Chair said he didn’t believe the government’s assertion that some of the plaintiffs would not fall under COPA.
“Because of the vagueness of the definitions in the law, it’s impossible to determine what harmful material really is, which means we don’t know the sites that will be covered,” Douglas told XBIZ. “What they’re really saying is, ‘Trust us; we won’t go after legitimate publications.’ That’s a joke.”
In 1999, Reed issued an injunction against the law, saying there was a “substantial likelihood” that it violated the 1st Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed with Reed in 2004 when it ruled 5-4 in favor of the plaintiffs. But the high court didn’t completely kill COPA in the ruling, which ordered a trial where the government could make the case that the law is a reasonable restriction on free speech or that the use of filters was a less restrictive alternative that could save the law.
The case is expected to run until the end of November, with a ruling expected some time after that.
