Operations like that there's no fucking way they can know where every hit is coming from, it's hard enough to track down referrers for fraudulent accounts, much less to know who has licenses to their content and who doesn't.
However, I don't think it's unreasonable for sponsors to update their TOS agreements to ban torrent sites and other types of sites that exist almost solely to infringe on copyrights, the same way warez sites were banned in 1998.
Then once it's brought to your attention that affiliate #1234 is using your banners on a torrent site, it's an easy termination.  |
Lenny I have to disagree with you,when I worked for a mainstream dot com. Helped run the affiliate program and analyzing the numbers,where,who the traffic and signups came from was a big part of the day.You wanted to see should we focus more on a certain type of site because the sign ups are strong there. If you think someone has 1000 sign ups a day or a large sponsor making millions and has no clue where the traffic is coming from your kidding yourself.
