Affiliate did not buy content through the affiliate program. The affiliate then uploaded the full movies to pirate tube sites and posted legitimate affiliate links to celandina's affiliate program on his blog, as well as prohibited links to pirate tube sites and files lockers on those same blog pages. Affiliate tried to get paid commissions from his own purchases as a customer (think of the 20% commission as a discount for the content that the affiliate purchased) as well as for any sales that he referred.

While there are many thieves out there, there are also many legitimate affiliates out there including jscott, sarettah and myself who operate pursuant to a sponsor's affiliate program terms. We use sponsor provided content to promote sales to their sites and don't send traffic to pirate tubes or file lockers.
