Since you're talking about affiliates, this means that an affiliate can steal another's sales.
Are you trying to pull a livejasmin on your affiliates ?

I follow what you saying, but I think he meant that the customers were in house sales, and then the tube site (affiliate) set their cookie and instead of him making 100% on the sales he now had to pay them out an affiliate commission. Im guessing here, but was what I got from what he was saying.
If another affiliate was the original owner of that customer and then the tube site stole it, it would have no net loss to Mark, in that case he probably wouldn't have noticed it. I think he noticed this because he was watching all of his in house accounts get converted to affiliate accounts. Which if this is the case, it is nice of him to allow his affiliate to get credit for in house members. I wouldn't. If I owned the cam company and paid money for advertising and got customers I would treat that traffic like any other affiliate and they would own that customer.
