well if you are a middleman you are screwed, affiliates who just push traffic to get signup are dead meat.
That being said use branding bugs internally to increase retention (by advertising/upselling non pirateable content/benefits) would be the most effective way for an affiliate based paysite to survive.
Affiliates should be looking for sites which do this, because while there conversion ratios may be getting worse, the retention levels will increase and therefore balance out.
