Of course not. We're not talking about legit affiliates using authorized content from the program owners to promote sales.
I'm talking about those who knowingly hide behind 'user uploads' - who sit around and wait for DMCA notices to be sent before they take down the content. I'd hazard to guess that half the time it's forum owners themselves posting the content...claiming its being done by users. Or at the very least turning a blind eye to what they know amounts to illegal distribution of copyrighted images.
