I don't want what I said above being misinterpreted.
I can't see affiliates of websites being prosecuted or fined for any wrongdoing by a website operator. Notwithstanding any outright fraudulent actions by affiliates. And as a practical matter, most affiliates are "small fish" to warrant a FTC investigation and hearings. They are looking for the "big fish" that can pay large fines.
They are no more likely to be fined than Yahoo! messenger or Skype is ...
