Marvad Is Pimpin'
PrettyOne
writes on GFY 9/7/04:
Well, since my last post was based on Marvad employees kissing my
ass and I was the frightened little girl that was being threatened
to be suued... I realized that they can't because I am the only one
that didn't sign a contract while employed by them.
So... During a phone conversation between RogerV and BrianM- I quote
RogerV- (this was Sept 1) "we'll just shave the sh-t out of 'em and
just say that the age verification pages screwed it up"
Also Brett of Marvad- watch your back because Roger wants to fire
you...he said he pays you too much and since Marvad is in the negative
now, he needs to cut overhead and you aren't the only one he wants
to fire. Marvad can barely pay its employees. Believe it.
Also BrianM - Roger wants to get rid of you too but he just didn't
have the balls to say it to you on the phone...they are trying to
figure out away to go around your contract. RogerV can't pay his employees
and that means the webmasters as well...so don't be surprised when
you get f-cked. But he does have the money to buy a 6g watch and a
new Range Rover and head to Vegas and gamble all the money that you
have been making him. Oh wait the watch is on credit- Just like his
business He still owes Ian over 3 mil -
Talk about debt, I would hate to be in his position. Ian is smart
tho- running the business by smacking Roger around like the bitch
he is. If it weren't for Ian backing Roger all the time and telling
him what to do Pornkings would have been gone a loooong time ago!
Roger- Hope Chris of CCbill wasn't dumb enough to let you borrow
money- did you tell him that you are in the negative, that you are
planning on f-cking your partner in the ass? and that you are firing
some of you most hard working employees because you are selfish and
want more money more money....
Lets calculate your debt- ok lets not, dont want to embarrass you
any further. And it doesn't matter that you are revamping- your content
sucks. Perfection cash content is a joke. Guys would get off more
by watching Brittney on MTV - fully clothed.

news article
The moguls of audiotext are a small and rather contentious bunch, all
but unknown outside their industry: Ian Eisenberg, a young Seattle businessman
whose father, Joel Eisenberg, was one of the pioneers of phone sex in
the '80s "Phone sex was the first leap into interactivity," says Steffani
Martin of Albamar Inc., a New York Web-sex firm that owns the Babes4U
site and is also in the phone-sex business with Eisenberg. Though they
like to present themselves as a multibillion-dollar industry as deserving
of respect as any other, they still glory in tales of past scams
- like the legendary "Here Comes Santa" infomercial, often attributed
to Joel Eisenberg, which ran on a Seattle television station in December
1989. The setup was worthy of the most devilish phone phreak: put a
guy in a Santa suit on TV and have him tell the kiddies they can talk
to Santa personally if they hold their telephone receivers up to the
set - just as it emits a tone that connects them, for a hefty toll.
The television station knocked Santa off the air 10 minutes into the
show when its switchboard lit up with calls from enraged parents, but
still ... Warshavsky joined this bunch in 1990, when he was 17 - too
young, he admits, to make a phone-sex call himself.

nbc transcript
This article is from a Dateline NBC transcript I found on phonelosers.org.
It talks about victimization of the Ian Eisenberg's of the world, how
they falsely advertise the chatlines, the contracts for profit, and
how they get young overweight teens addicted to these chatlines, destroying
families in the process!
Teen-agers and Their Families Are Victims of Telephone Chat Lines:
Dateline NBC Friday Dec2, 1994
BRYANT GUMBEL reporting: Good evening. It's a fact of life that kids,
especially teen-agers, spend a lot of time on the phone. So it should
come as no surprise that so-called 'chat lines' have become the latest
craze of some young people. The lines seem innocent enough, but there
is a downside. We found teen-agers who became obsessed--in one case
even running away to live with strangers from the chat line. Here's
Lea Thompson with part three of our DATELINE investigation. DIALING
FOR DOLLAR$ [<-they think they're eleet]
Offscreen Voice: (From telephone) What's up? You've reached the rap
line.
ALEXIS: It really gets you addicted because you want to keep calling
these people.
LEA THOMPSON reporting: (voiceover) It's a totally teen phenomenon.
Ms. KYLE BURGER: I got hooked on it, and I kept calling it.
Offscreen Voice: (From telephone) Welcome to the line with you in mind.
ALEXIS: I spent almost 24 hours a day on that line.
THOMPSON: Anyone can join this party line of the young and the restless;
half a dozen can share conversation on one line. It's advertised as
free but it can be very expensive and dangerous.
ALEXIS: I never thought it would lead to this. This never crosses your
mind when you pick up a phone. I mean, it's a phone. Who would know
it could tear your family apart so much?
THOMPSON: What did you talk about?
ALEXIS: Anything. There was--you could say anything and everything.
THOMPSON: But you talked for hours at a time?
ALEXIS: Oh, god. I talked for days at a time!
THOMPSON: Alexis says she got addicted to chat lines after she changed
schools and started having a lot of trouble fitting in. What did the
chat line do for you that you couldn't get from your friends?
ALEXIS: I guess more acceptance, you know. I was always a very insecure
person.
THOMPSON: For Alexis, the cost of this long-distance belonging was very
high, higher than anyone could imagine.
ALEXIS: I admit I was totally hooked on that line.
THOMPSON: Every time things heated up at home over the phone bills,
the 14 year old would take off across the country to live with adults,
men and women she'd met on the chat line.
ALEXIS: There was, ranging from 19 years old to--I think the oldest
I was with was twenty-five.
THOMPSON: And she did it not once or twice but six times. You just blindly
went off and met these people without a second thought? ALEXIS: Oh yeah,
no thought at all. It was just, you know, I'm getting away from my problems.
I'm--it's always in the TV or newspapers that yes, you know, this person's
been raped and killed or so and so; but it never occurred to me that
it could actually happen to me.
THOMPSON: But it occurred to her father, Bill, who was desperately trying
to find her.
BILL: Yes, we were worried every time she was gone.
THOMPSON: And Alexis had run up more than $4,000 in long distance bills.
When her father couldn't pay, the phone was disconnected. But that isn't
supposed to happen. Two years ago, Congress wrote a law to protect families
from phone nightmares like this. The law says that services like chat
lines are supposed to be on 900 numbers, numbers parents can have blocked.
It says you can dispute a 900-call charge without being disconnected.
To get around the law, chat lines have moved their services onto regular
long-distance lines, and that strips parents of the power to protect
themselves and their kids. As a result, Bill had no recourse when Pacific
Bell disconnected his service, and he was reduced to calling Alexis'
chat-line friends to try to find her.
Offscreen Voice: (from telephone) A place to talk to girls and guys
from all over the hood...
BILL: We spent hours at pay phones calling people on the chat line.
THOMPSON: It worked and he brought her home. But then he almost lost
her for good. Alexis says her life was a disaster, and the bills and
the anger and the guilt were too much.
ALEXIS: And I attempted suicide and ended up in intensive care on my
birthday. And that was, like, one of the worst times in my life.
BILL: It's been a pure hell. Nothing mattered to her as much as being
on the phone.
Offscreen Voice: (from telephone) Hey, everyone, thanks for calling.
You've reached the most raging party line in the country.
THOMPSON: Seventeen-year-old Kyle Burger was also lured into the chat-line
scene, much to the dismay of her mother.
Ms. MARY BURGER: It makes me angry because the kids don't know any better.
KYLE BURGER: My friend gave me the phone number. That because my new
set of friends.
THOMPSON: Mary Burger says kids often get started after reading the
dozens of chat-line adds in magazines like Rolling Stone or Spin. The
ads say it is 'hip' and 'hot' and 'sexy' and 'free'--free.
THOMPSON: Did you think it was free?
KYLE BURGER: The introduction to the party line was misleading.
THOMPSON: With her mother's permission, Kyle showed us how to get to
her favorite chat line. It's a 515 area code.
Offscreen Voice: (from telephone) This is...(unintelligible)...the one
and only, your personal connection to the hottest free party lines around.
THOMPSON: It said 'free.'
KYLE BURGER: It did.
THOMPSON: Do you believe you were doing enough to try to cut her off?
Ms. MARY BURGER: I was locking up the telephones. I would lock them
in the trunk of my car. And you have to understand, too, that by the
time I had my first bill, we were halfway into another billing cycle,
so, you know, probably $3-$400 worth of charges already in place before
I found out about it for the very first time.
THOMPSON: Mary also found out that Kyle was hearing more that just idle
chat on these lines.
KYLE BURGER: Hello? Do I have any daughters? No.
THOMPSON: When we heard the man on the other end of this call tell Kyle
he was watching a child porn film, we cut it off. Kyle's mother went
on a crusade to track down who was behind all of this. It turned out
to be a complicated trail, full of surprises. You might think her search
would take her to Las Vagas, New York, LA, but that 515 area code on
her telephone bills led her to this small town of Jefferson, Iowa. It's
become the unlikely crossroads for hundreds of chat and sex lines. This
area may be known as the home of corn and cattle, but now chat lines
are a major cash crop. According to public records, in the two years
since the small Jefferson Telephone Company hooked up with the chat
and sex line operator, its profits have jumped from $352,000 a year
to $2,216,000 a year.
BILL: It's amazing. I mean, obviously they've latched on a gold mine.
THOMPSON: The Jefferson Telephone Company first told us it had severed
its relationship with the company that actually programs the chat lines.
Jefferson Telephone refused to be interviewed on camera, but in a letter
to Dateline said, 'because some people find parts of the programming
objectionable, we did the right thing in terminating the contract.'
But Kyle Burger had no trouble getting Jefferson's 515 party line. Jefferson
admits the contract with the company requires it to keep the lines open
for up to one year after giving notice. And who is that contract with?
Ms. MARY BURGER: His name's Ian Eisenberg.
THOMPSON: When Mary Burger complained to the Jefferson Telephone Company,
she was sent to Ian and Joel Eisenberg.
Ms. MARY BURGER: And I said, 'I'm not going to go away. I want you to
know that I'm going to be your worst nightmare.'
THOMPSON: The man in the Rolls Royce is Joel Eisenberg. Eisenberg's
business took in more than $63 million a year, according to documents
filed in court in 1991 by the IRS. He then was running 72 separate corporations,
almost all in the phone-entertainment business. Eisenberg gained national
attention in the late '80s when he ran a TV ad encouraging kids to call
Santa Claus on a 900 pay line. It instructed children to hold up the
phone to the TV. Then the commercial played the telephone tones and
the call was automatically connected.
The IRS has investigated whather Joel Eisenberg underreported his income.
The agency raided his Seattle offices in 1991. No charges have been
filed. Mean- while, the elder Eisenberg has passed the chat-line business
off to his son, Ian. We wanted to talk to Joel and Ian Eisenberg. They
wouldn't respond to our request for an interview, so we tried in person.
(Thompson waiting by car as man leaves car)
THOMPSON: Mr. Eisenberg?
JOEL EISENBERG: Yes.
THOMPSON: How do you do? I'm Lea Thompson from DATELINE NBC.
JOEL EISENBERG: Hi. How are you?
THOMPSON: I wonder if I could talk to you a little bit about your business.
JOEL EISENBERG: I'm afraid not.
THOMPSON: (seconds later, Ian showed up for work) Are you Mr. Eisenberg?
IAN EISENBERG: You are?
THOMPSON: Lea Thompson from DATELINE NBC. I wonder if I could talk to
you a little bit about you and your father's business. We'd like to
talk to you about the chat lines. People say that you're running ads
that say the chat lines are free, and then they get these huge bills,
and they want to know how you can call your chat lines 'free'?
While Ian Eisenberg didn't answer, industry insiders say the chat is
free because you only pay the long-distance charges. So how do people
like the Eisenbergs make so much money? Well, Jefferson Telephone says
it gives the Eisenbergs a cut of what it collects. We went to the Federal
Communications Commission to ask if it was legal for a phone company
to do that. Now the FCC is asking questions, too.
KATHLEEN WALLMAN (FCC): We've commenced an investigation of the Jefferson
Company, including an audit of its books, and that compensation arrangement
is one of the things we're looking at.
THOMPSON: People like Mary Burger never heard about chat lines until
eight months ago. Now she says they represent expense and exploitation
that never seems to end.
MARY BURGER: I felt victimized by the Ian Eisenbergs of the world,
and I felt victimized by the phone companies, and I felt victimized
by my own daughter.
THOMPSON: What did it do to your family?
MARY BURGER: It made enemies out of us. I'm sorry.
THOMPSON: It tore your family apart.
MARY BURGER: It put my daughter in touch with people that--that I felt
weren't good for her. It brought a lot of hatred and animosity into
my home. It's not been easy to deal with.
GUMBEL: If you feel that your child is spending too much time on chat
lines, try calling your local phone company. They can't help too much,
but there are a few that will block the number for you.

Lets continue with Cyberspace/Nocharge: -cyberspace.com (Now known
as nocharge.com provider of free internet dialup access in the great
Northwest and New England areas. The name change obviously due to lawsuits
such as the one in the Western District of Washington where cyberspace.com
was sued by the FTC in which the owner Ian Eisenberg and his affiliates
engaged in an illegal scheme to deceive consumers by mailing $3.50 "rebate"
checks to millions of small businesses and consumers.

Full Review
epinions.com review
of nocharge.com
I've been using nocharge since the beginning when they called themselves
"cyberspace". They seem to go in and out of periods of reliability and
unreliability. The other comments reflect that fairly well. When they
are working properly they are great. When they don't work you will need
to have a backup plan, don't waste too much time trying to figure out
if the problem is on your end, if your time has any value you'd be better
off paying for an isp, Just check their site and messageboard, then
move to a backup. They charge $10/call for techsupport, some suspect
them of lowering the quality of their service to generate revenue from
support calls. If you want some background on the company: Another review
mentioned their parent company, "Mirage marketing", surprisingly (or
not) this company runs phone sex lines and online porn sites. The owner
of this company(Ian Eisenberg) is the son of the owner of the company
that manages their dialup phone lines "internationl telecom" (Joel Eisenberg).
They have been responsible for numerous scandals, scams, and whatnot
in the past, you can find the info about this using a search engine
and a little searching skill(really interesting stuff). Nocharge obviously
doesn't want its customers to know about this, and censors their messageboard
accordingly, The support presence on their messageboard as well as their
service has improved since this info (and the speculation that goes
along with it) was brought to their (and other) messageboards ;-) .
The voicemail and fax services that they push are run by International
Telecom. If you are going to use nocharge I don't think it is worth
the bother to download their software, it is faster and easier just
to set the connection up manually, then you also don't have to worry
about having to uninstall the software later, I don't know if they have
fixed it but people used to have problems getting rid of it, and software
rarely uninstalls cleanly in any case. It is nice that they have the
no software option at all unlike other free isp. As others have mentioned,
they block smpt(port 25) so you can't send regular email, you either
have to use webmail, hotmail through outlook, or a pop mail service
that uses a nonstandard smtp port like softhome.net or runbox.com.

Another name for nocharge.com ISP just pushing DSL service b/c of a

is an authorized provider of Qwest DSL services. Think of Qwest providing
the pipe or DSL circuit and NCPLUS providing the water or ISP services,
like the connection to the Internet and e-mail services!

These are all telecomm. related services and sites offered under the

and Founder. Apparently Ian is involved with these sites and the company
as well. Most of these site you can find very poor layouts and lame
graphics.
----------------------------
-hookuptoday.com
They also run chat/date lines which they receive a very minimal amount
of money (< 1cents) for every call that comes into their platform. From
my research I have found they have contracts with the telcos to receive
payment for each call. They use this for advertising other services
they offer with telecomm involvement such as erotic chat via text messages.
I called one named the Oasis that I had noticed on nocharge.com in an
advertisement and the first caller I heard was discussing things about
underage children and incest in his recorded greeting.

Paris Hilton Video -> MarVad
The third and fourth pending lawsuits involve Solomon, a friend of his
who alleges he was authorized to sell the tape, and the Seattle-based
pornography company to which Don Thrasher, the friend, originally sold
the marketing rights to the tape.
Shortly after filing the Hilton lawsuit, Salomon, also filed a second
$10 million copyright infringement and invasion of privacy lawsuit against
adult entertainment provider Marvad Corp. In the lawsuit Salomon claims
that the tape was stolen from his possession by Thrasher and that he
never authorized sale of the tape.
In response, Marvad sued Thrasher, who sold it the tape to Marvad in
return for a $50,000 advance against 30% of the gross revenues collected
from the tape, for $10 million. In its suit Marvad claims that Thrasher
misled them into believing that he owned the tape.
For his part, Thrasher continues to insist that he was given the tape
by Salomon and was merely acting as Salomon's agent. "We had an agreement
to sell the tape, He gave me the tape. Period." Thrasher stated at the
time. Thrasher also contends that he cashed the $50,000 advance check
that he received from Marvad and gave half to Salomon.

Conclusion: Ok so MarVad buys a tape for $50 grand they intend to
sell copies of. This purchase was made by MarVad from the roommate of
Rick Saloman, Mr. Thrasher! MarVad actually thinks its going to be perfectly
legal. Even though Thrasher doesn't appear in the tape, its not Thrasher's
tape, and they didn't have permission from Paris Hilton OR Rick Saloman
(husband of actress Shannen Doherty) who actually appear in the tape.
After all this they can't even post the Paris Hilton Vid on sexbrat.com
just like the bosley tape/pics! WOW! Seems to me MarVad enjoys the attention,
gloats about how they are all about 1st amendment rights, and wastes
money on legal fees when they accomplish nothing!
