Granted there are ways they could eventually work around it, but it would be a very effective short term solution.
If the cookies lasted longer a lot more checks would be going to us, not adware companies, and we would rightfully get credit for sales that occur on secondary visits.

When i say cut off the money I am talking about the affiliate companies stop sending checks to them and start banning them. If they don't get paid to do this they will stop doing it. If all sponsors (either by their own choice or by pressure from affiliates) stop supporting these spyware companies, they would be forced to push their own programs or stop. Cutting off the money is always the best solutions IMO.... technology is always changing.
I agree with you as well about the cookies, i just dont think that is the best solution to the problem here, but i am sure it would help.
Someone started a post a few months back pointing our cookie experation times... some companies here were setting 1 day cookies, that sucks. IMO that is stealing as well.
