webmaster #1 introduced the surfer to the content - did actual work
webmaster #2 just got lucky

Making it more complicated but even if they saw it on Webmaster #1 then spent 3 months trying and failing to steal it they would still actually be buying through the Webmaster #2 link even if he did get lucky on the day. Even the warez forums would have a claim to have contributed to his desire to purchase.
If I go and look at a new car at garage #1 then look at some others at garages #2 #3 #4 then eventally buy it from garage #2 all the garages would have been trying to sell it to me but only garage #2 gets the money. Can't see much of a difference.

I mean, you told them about the site, and got them interested enough to go visit. Surfer reads site, looks at tour etc, considers joining... BUT OH LOOK! A link to an 'independant review site!
Surfer checks it out, decides yeah, it DOES have X number of videos, and it is updated X amount of times like tour says... I'll join...
Surfer joins and review site gets the credit!
But without you, the surfer would have never visited site in the 1st place ! So, I dont promote any sites with review buttons anymore...

Need an affiliate program for the review site as well as the sponsor
