The "idea" is that you pay affiliates for their sales, period. You don't get to speculate about which sales you might have gotten if the affiliates didn't out-hustle you for them. If you've got an affiliate program, you accept the risk that affiliates may out-hustle you for sales. You don't get to say "we reserve the right to sit on our fat asses and let you make sales, and then speculate that we would have gotten them if you didn't."

Or rather, I suppose you do get the right to say that if you put it in your TOS, but you might as well brand "we are idiots" on your foreheads when you do it.

Oh, well, merry Christmas!
