What difference does it make what the sponsor does when there are scores of affiliates who post all sponsor galleries on one page anyway? I see it all the time. If you have a problem with non-pw-protected promo areas, then do you also refuse to promote any sponsor who has affiliates sucking search engine traffic to their free content dumps where they post hundreds of free galleries featuring indexed model/site pages? I'll bet not because that problem isn't as obvious to you and you probably trade traffic with those people anyway.
I can see this issue from a few different angles; with all the free porn out there I don't think it really makes a difference; more exposure might be better since we constantly have to compete with other sites that have tons of exposure; it's hard not to get lost/forgotten. Having said that, we still keep our promo content password protected. I think it's pretty silly though when webmasters think sponsors should be punished for doing what other "webmasters" do times a billion. Affiliates should spend a little less time worrying about how sponsors are supposedly trying to screw them, and more time worrying about how their esteemed colleagues are trying to screw each other, themselves AND the sponsors.
When I have considered putting our promo content in the open, it's been to make it easy for the webmasters who are MANY times too lazy, disorganized, etc. to keep track of the un/pw and get the shit. No offense, because I'm the same way. The easier it is for me to get a sponsor's promos, the more likely I am to use them. Stupid, but true.
