Don't tell anyone, but that is what I'm actually doing ;)

The wide-eyed innocent bit was to allow me to (politely) make the point that if their silence is a sign, pathetically few sponsors apparently do ban scumware. After all, there couldn't be a better time than right now to score a few brownie points by stating such positions, so one has to assume the worst from their reluctance to do so.

That said, it is only a matter of time before affiliates (at least) start buying keywords for presently unaffected sponsors, if they think they can do so with impunity. Therefore I really would rather work with sponsors who have taken a public stance than merely see who is "clean" so far.
