What if The big players decide to get Acacia to limit the number of people they license it to. Video usage is growing every day on the net, with 100 players selling videos what is the need for them to have affiliate programs? The search engines and a few links list will do it for them at a fraction of the costs.
I feel webmasters who think this will blow over and they do not need to help with any contributions, need to rethink the situation.

Apart from the question if that would hold up in court (there are laws against that kind of stuff), you are also leaving out one major factor: greed. Out of those 100 programs, there will always be one that will go for the extra money advertising on other sites brings in. The others will react to that by doing the same, that's the essence of competition.
