If so I fully agree with you at last.
And all it needs is the sponsor to pay for the rights to have it in the affiliates area and keep it on the affiliates sites. 100% spot on at last mate. 
I'm assuming you don't want it to remain illegal and with affiliates using pirated content. |
i have no problem with you going after them for using the content beyond the scope of the licience (giving it away to affilates)
what i have a problem is the claims you are making that are clearly arguementative (no "agent of" status so it was liciences to an individual and no to the request to resolve the issue by liciencing it to the corporation)
as i have said repeatly, you can act an ass, demand both what you are clearly entitled too (the affilate content being removed or paid for) AND what is at best suspect rights (re-up on the original licience- multiple times) or you can act like a professional and only deal only ask what you are really entitled.
Personally i would do the second, hell as i have already point out i would do one better than the second by offering to deduct the cost of the original licience from the cost of the required licience becuase it would create an insentive to choose to upgrade rather than remove the content
