With yahoo they usually dont go live. the reason is always "trademarked terms"
is someone "forced" to bid on their own company and product names if they have them trademarked? can't a legal letter be sent to the company thats allowing users to bid on those terms or to those bidding on them demanding them to stop?

I may be ignorant as well but what you said seems like it makes perfect sence. it seems like AFF could sue sexsearch for bidding on their keywords, but since AFF bought sexsearch's keywords... i don't know if they would want to go that route.
Sueing zango and other "adware" companies to remove your keywords would be the best soultion for AFF.
