You make it sound as if someone at Fling said "hey this illegal site has lots of traffic, let's buy an ad spot"

These people sign up for affiliate programs and then send traffic and get paid commission like the rest of us do.


I do agree though that sponsors should step up to the plate and cancel accounts and withhold payment from people who are proven content theives.

Of course the problem is that as long as scum like AFF turn a blind eye everyone else knows that if they cancel the theives accounts that traffic will just go to their competition.
We need to treat these sites the way we treated warez sites back in the day, they couldn't make any money because no sponsor wanted their traffic.
