As a business you are responsible for the actions of your independent contractors *if* you do not show discretion in selecting them... Didn't some program recently lose $4mill because a renegade affiliate spammed some newsgroups?

To me this says -- "Goodbye open affiliate programs..." if it means being responsible for one anonymous prick that will take you down bigtime.

I'd like to hear the opinion of a lawyer on this with regards specifically to affiliate programs...
