I doubt most programs realise genuine affiliates, with permission granted to use content, are being hit. Looks way better to just blanket DMCA and send in the report saying 'hey, look at all these dmca's we sent!'
Obviously there is total need for dmca agents, but also obviously, they don't take a look at how the content is being used, in any shape or form. This cuts out the pirates/general thieves, but the method also cuts into the programs' profits... the 'saved' profits aren't 100% when you factor in the genuine affs' efforts that get dmca'd and removed that could have sent sales only for a competitors site to get surfed/sold. In essence, you (programs, not you JB) are paying for your own genuine content to get DMCA'd
