TLA fucks up BIG TIME

[A_DeAngelo]

We just signed a contract with TLA a couple of weeks ago - great! one of the first bareback companies to be represented - big problem though... they were only authorized to put up 7 titles - they have put up 15 titles - we did not send the additional titles to them - so, my question is this...

where did they get the titles from? and why did they put them up without our knowledge and consent?

Nobody is around to deal with this issue at TLA today - "they are all at a film festival" goodie!

not a great way to start off with us here at Zyloco today...

more to cum on this - specially interested in our first release that is not available anywhere but in our store... hmmm makes you wonder doesn't it...

ouch . now isnt that a bitch...

yeah - wonder who's been feeding them our stuff - makes you wonder....

this is not a good way for TLA to enter the streaming market - stolen content?

we'll know tomorrow when our reps return from the film festival - if I were at TLA right now, I'd be running some messages to the guys at the festival - but then that's me, and my old fashioned way of doing business.

Let me first say that I am truly impressed by your negativity, especially when having no real answers or details. My name is Brian and I am the Director of TLA On-Demand (the fella that signed your contract) so please, feel confident that you are speaking to someone who knows the details.

First of all, we're happy to have you on the program. However, with such negativity, in a public forum no less, I'll be the first to say that I will be equally happy to remove your content as well if you prefer.

In response to your comments...

If you refer to your rather clearly stated and distinct TLAondemand.com contract, there is no indication within those pages of distinct rights being offered to TLA for some titles and not for others. In the future, to avoid these kinds of "fuck ups" as you call them, I encourage you to take advantage of the printed word to clearly indicate your proposed and planned release schedule, we're always happy to oblige.

As for your representative being away...that's true! He's in Las Vegas attending the Home Media Expo. Feel free to contact me at your leisure so that I can rectify this first world problem immediately!

Sincerely,

Brian Sokel

and yes, I tend to be negative when content is being streamed without our consent and approval - but that's me... and btw - your phone person told us that no one was available - go figure

[A_DeAngelo]

go figure... I guess they're busy running around trying to figure out where they got that content from...

I'm not saying that (yet) - just want to know where they got our content from - the stuff they put up that WE DID NOT SEND THEM

we can't get an answer - they're not taking our calls...

That was my take on the issue as well.

Well to be fair to TLA and to Tony, we dont actually know what 'happened' so far, it could have been something simple, id hold off a while before presuming guilt on either parties side $0.02

Remember, its innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent

to be honest you didnt/dont have to...

i must admit i think the CEO handled this matter very very poorly and his post came across to me as if he thought you where an idiot for being mad about this... i might be reading too much in to his attitude from the post but the way this has been handled with them not answering (everyone being unavailable, give me a break!) and just magically sprouting material that they where never sent etc..

naa, think i will very much pass on that experience..
