I wonder why they didn’t block out the home address or at least some of it?
The story didn’t really need the address to be shown – it would’ve had the same ‘impact’ with or without it.
I do not approve this video, am not defending them here, don’t know much about what is going on so, I’m sorry if I’m doing an idiotic comment but…
I am guessing whoever edited the video didn’t think thru and perhaps didn’t realize that the address could not be a home one.
I’m saying that because at 6:41 I see 2 co-workers in the same address and that for me would suggest an office.
Any way, posting addresses on my opinion is over the top and I hope that the people delete the current one and re-upload a new one with whatever address blurred… after all, I was the 207th user to see that video so, pretty much nobody.
The blur address would bring some class to the situation so, fingers crossed.
yes it was removed while I was typing.
That is very good news and very classy.
Cheers to that!
While I can understand that Professor and his family are upset about the address being posted (Lord knows I would be), at the same time (and as evidenced by the fact that the video has been taken down) I don’t think it was intentional.
I saw the video, and J Todd seemed to just be trying to connect the dots between one of Profs businesses and Cardspike. Since I don’t know any of the parties involved personally, when watching the video I had no idea the addresses that were listed on the video were that of individuals – I just assumed they were the addresses of the corporations being discussed.
Glad to see the video has been taken down to remove the addresses.
That was so wrong. It isnt “classy” to take the video down… It shouldn’t have been up in the first place. Anyone who has any common sense would be able to figure out in many ways how that was wrong before publishing it.
this is just wrong

So J Todd was supposed to know somehow that the business address for
was not in fact a business address, but Prof’s home address? :sarcasm: This is low indeed
Just had a look he has put the video back up with the addresses edited out.Brad
If this continues and the mainstream media gets it then it will be bad for us ALL!

AFFILIATE FORUM WAR CONTINUES (Update)
A good time to jaw-jaw and not war-war?
The animosity between Casino Affiliate Programs and the Gambling Portal Webmaster Association managements was much in evidence Friday following the video display of one principal management member’s home address as recorded on a public document in a video show published on YouTube by APCW, an associate of Casino City, which owns the GPWA.
The video report appeared to be attempting to connect CAP with the controversial CardSpike.com poker site in an ownership sense, a bitter bone of contention between the two affiliate community organisations. It briefly showed a public document detailing a company called Effective Media, although it is not yet clear exactly how the dots are connected to ownership of the troubled operational poker site.
CAP management has strongly denied any beneficial ownership interest in CardSpike.
The video elicited an angry public response from CAP management at http://www.casinoaffiliateprograms.com/bb/showthread.php?t=33203, protesting at the publication of a home address.
Having been viewed by some 207 YouTube visitors, the video was then taken down on the directions of GPWA executive director Michael Corfman, who explained in a forum posting at http://www.gpwa.org/forum/apcw-perspectives-friday-01-09-09-a-178452.html that the publication of the home address, whilst stemming directly from a public document, was inadvertent and inappropriate. He advised that the video would be taken down and suitably edited to remove the offending address before it was again published.
At press time the video had been removed.
The relationship between the two competing affiliate organisations has showed public signs of marked deterioration recently, with forum attacks and claims of law suits – one for $1.5 million. There can be little doubt that the confrontational situation that presently exists is doing more harm than good to both sides, with members becoming increasingly alarmed at the direction in which affairs appear to be headed.
One non-aligned affiliate exec posted the same opinion on both sites Saturday, outlining why the disputes are bad for business and the industry. In a nutshell, the message was: “I’m going to go ahead and say what I believe the majority of us are thinking…ENOUGH ALREADY!”

Right, because when you see an address listed on a public website noting a businesses address, it’s always a good idea to do some followup research to make sure it’s not a personal address.
Oooooo k.

If CAP crossed the line with cardspike, it’s GOOD for our industry to expose them, this is supposed to be a “seal of approval” company – and with UB/AP still having “all in status” and now the cardspike issue something should be done.
I really don’t see what the fuss is about with posting a whois business address – it was already there for the world to see and it’s Professors fault if he lists his own home address – let’s get real here, if someone “dangerous” wanted to find you they would do that way and not through your video.
Don’t let the criminal play the victim here.
I’m sure I’ll get banned for this reasonable post, will take a screenshot anyways.
When you put an address on a public document you assume it is available for anyone to see.If it said business address it indicates that the address the business works from.Considering all circumstances ,supposed threats of legal action and such I guess both sides feel like they have something to prove.I can see both sides and certainly hope Lou has been going over his public records and adjusting any contact info that would cause his family grief.

You may feel that way, but it does not make it true. :hattip:
You have also been misguided if you think that your post will get you banned! Why would you need a screenshot about your IMO worthless post? :sarcasm:
Because if the past is a precedent, this company will ban and censor anyone searching for the truth. What’s more Lou will go back and edit your posts to what he wants them to say, and even change your titles and avatars to something derogatory.
It’s not a single instance, he did it to literally dozens of respected affiliates at PAP – pure childeshness.
I don’t understand – you have players and affiliates cheated out of thousands of dollars, a company trying to hide their involvement – and you think posting a publicly available address in a video is something to get worked up about? APCW simply took a screenshot of the listed business address, where’s the “danger”?
I don’t mean it to be rude at all – but just try to consider that maybe you should be up in arms for your fellow affiliates and PLAYERS who are mislead to believe the “certification” this company offers is actually something with integrity behind it, and not just a paid advertisement.
