It's very frustrating when program owners think like this and it's one of the reasons I generally don't put up new sponsor content anymore. The legal tubes with 30 second to two minute promo clips are not the problem. The problem is the pirates and the people you (not necessarily you but in general) are uploading 7-15 minute clips to (while giving your long time affiliates 45 second clips).

On the flip side with legal tubes, tgps, mgps, blogs or whatever we absolutely hate the high view count situation too. We want to make money just like you and if we are pushing your link and not making sales then that hurts us. It pisses me off to see that a sponsor has 5,000,000 views on my site but I've made less than five sales with them. But that isn't due to my putting up 100 30 second clips from your sites. Again, it's because the surfers can get full scenes from the pirates.

You have to realize that no one would bother to be an affiliate if all sponsors were like Alpha Sky from the Apple Twins. It wouldn't be worth it. Already it probably isn't worth it for most.
