One sure fire way to put an end to it would be to have boycotts of sponsors that allow it to continue... Ya think that would ever happen? Nobody wants to sacrafice their $100 current income for a possible $500 future income..

Well, I do drop them and fast. And I know of a few others who do too. But the truth is that you're right, most people don't and won't. This has been discussed a million times in mainstream over the years.
It's a lot easier to switch sponsors in porn than it is to find replacements in mainstream. Sponsors are a dime a dozen in porn, many, many in the same niches. Why would you keep promoting one or more that allows this garbage?
The fact is that if you know how to make money with one sponsor that allows spyware, you can make money with a clean sponsor too. How much more do you think you could really make with a sponsor that credits all YOUR sales to YOU?
How many here do ppc and complain they get ripped off? All click fraud? All bad luck? Hardly. You're losing a good part of that money to a bunch of scums.
Have your conversions decreased in programs? Can't convert a program? Look at their TOS, does it say anything about NOT allowing spyware/adware/parasiteware/scumware/malware advertising? If not, that may be a a good place to start to find where your sales have gone.
Some of you may even be calling these scums friends, buddies, pals. In the meantime, they're taking YOUR money and you don't even know it. Most of these scums don't and won't announce publicly that they use this means to advertise, because they KNOW it's wrong and they're stealing from others.
Without affiliates to steal from, the only one left is the sponsor. How much money do you think that sponsor would make? They'd be out of business faster than you dropped them.
