I think most people just held their nose and dealt with it but I think this kind of thing is yet another reason why many affiliates left. Here you are working your ass off to send sales but sales are declining like crazy (as you admitted) because of piracy and then the sponsor puts up these uncredited links such as to your review site or a clips4sale store. It's like a slap in the face to the affiliate. There probably is some financial impact but more important for me whenever I saw something like this I always felt disrespected. I got the sense that the sponsor views the regular affiliate as some sort of slave who doesn't matter and can be taken advantage of without a second thought.

QFT ^^^^ - I've seen a few sponsors pull this. It's pretty lame but you and I don't buy Bro Drinks so.... This is generally the same sponsor crowd who climbed up on tube cock so I expect nothing more than more of the same.
I was asked to join a program a few months ago. I asked for a link...and didn't make it past the first page. Traffic holes to cams, clips, dick pills, whatever you can think of. It was absurd. They must think we are as dumb as they are.
