Then the company will finally close and steal the rest. Vote with your feet and walk away or you have no one to blame but yourself.

the fact is the previous affiliate agreement was a valid contract for the members that signup under that agreement, and the "lifetime" revshare from those people should be paid out.
you can't just void your previous commitments/responsibilities (at least under canadian laws)
while the tos change would justify not paying out revshare on the POST DEC 2009 sales nothing legally justifies voiding the previous fiscal responsibility.
affilates who are screwed should get together to sue for the net present value of the income stream stolen.
