We have no ad on that page and furthermore the site that he is "stealing" from does have working links. Presumably the affiliate is in good standing. If he was in the wrong you would think he'd be banned from that program first. Since he IS their affiliate I'm sure they have away to contact him directly if they choose to inform them about how to use their content.
This is why we need to hear from content owners. |
Out of the dozens (if not hundreds) of pages of stolen content, you conveniently pick one that has a banner for the program it is promoting.
You also conveniently skipped the first gallery listed on the left menu which is chock-full of stolen content (most of it watermarked) and no affiliate links. Or how about the Katie's World gallery that links Melissa Midwest.
Oh, and let's not forget the loads of stolen video content that requires visitors to sign up at AFF to see the videos.

That's WWE Diva Trish Stratus. WWE doesn't take kindly to content theft. And I'm sure they won't appreciate AFF ads next to the stolen content.

Do you guys really take scat traffic?
Oh, and should we mention the lack of 2257 statements for all the content? Straight from your terms... "You agree to fully comply with 18 USC 2257 et seq, ("2257") including but not limited to its notice and recordkeeping requirements, as a condition precedent to your participation in this affiliate program or providing any traffic or links from your web pages to our Sites, graphics, web pages, and content or making use of the Program Materials."
"You hereby represent and warrant to us that materials posted on your site do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party (including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights), and that materials posted on your site are not libelous or otherwise illegal.

Why state they MUST have express permission when you don't even bother to verify if they do?
Seems you guys really aren't keen on enforcing your terms and conditions when the guy breaking them is sending you volume.
