So Lars is right, taking actions based on allegations is a bit skewed, considering when we get to the base of it, we're all competitors.
However, I do believe that a program as large as AFF, who has been in this business for 10 years and is likely the largest affiliate program out there, has not only the resources but even the responsibility as a corporate citizen to be extremely pro-active when it comes to content theft. Any affiliate sending them decent volume should be checked out back and front to make sure they're legit. All it would take is maybe 15 minutes of time and one email from the compliance department.

I agree but how would we know what content is theirs and what is not what has been given them or they have botten themselves. I personally dont surf porn and otehr than a few people in the industry I dont know what models are what or work/shoot for who, We do take content theft seriously, but there is no reasonable way to know whats owned and whats not, so we must rely on content owners to inform us. That is why there is the DMCA. Its pretty clear what the law is and what actions we can take.
