It was ignored. I tried e-mailing her again today, and it bounced back. (Mailbox doesn't exist.) I went on Peerflix Media's site, and used their general contact e-mail. It also bounced back (mailbox doesn't exist.) Looks like they're packing up shop, and heading for the hills. A shame, I would certainly love the money I'm owed.

Let's hope some of us will get something. I'd like to start some sort of organization (Internet Publishers Union?), for bloggers and fansites who are getting screwed by these ad-serving companies. If you've been at this very long, you know that this happens all the time. We need to ban together and do something so these ad-serving companies won't think they can treat us however they want--as if we are powerless to come after them. I'm willing to host a website for this effort and if we can charge dues or ask for donations, maybe we can pay lawyers to go after some of these guys. At the very least we can start collecting the horror stories and rate ad-serving programs so that others won't want to join the bad ones, and the good ones will want to carry our "seal of approval." If you're interested, give me an email: Jim@comicbookmovie.com They owe us $9,000 and the legal letter is going out this week. Let’s hope some of us will get something.

We had the same agreement with PeerFlix (now LiveUniverse). We, unfortunately are in the same boat. Luckily we pulled the ads down once they were roughly two months behind, so we didn't lose out on all of our ad revenue. Our attorney is drafting our letter now. Enough fooling around with these guys. We're not owed as much as some ($50K! How long did you run their ads without being paid?), but when your livelihood is on the line, every penny counts.

I am owed three months contracted salary - thousands of dollars - for some programming work I did for them. I've looked into legal action and am ready to move ahead. I am about to pay an attorney and court processing fees, but if they are going bankrupt any day now, my chances of getting any payment are slim to none. Has anyone had any luck getting their money from them? I’m in the same boat. I am owed three months contracted salary – thousands of dollars – for some programming work I did for them.
