This is why MOST licenses will NOT allow for this type of usage, and generally anyone must pay MUCH MORE for these type of licenses simply FOR this reason. Apparently, you aren't a producer who makes a living from providing content. It would be like having a movie from the theatres, but having one person handing copies out for free to everyone who walks by on the streetcorner. The person who made that movie doesn't know this has happened, they don't realize that EVERYBODY has already seen his movie. Therefore, they aren't going to go rent it, are they? Why? Because it's OVEREXPOSED. Is the person who made that movie going to EVER make his investment back to make another movie after that point? No. Abusing the content system is NO good for ANYONE. You think licenses AUTOMATICALLY allow for use of content for affiliates? Better go check your licenses, because most licenses will SPECIFICALLY PROHIBIT this use.

"What did you expect the buyer to do with it?" THAT statement is moronic. I expect a buyer to do EXACTLY what is laid out in the license with it, and if he wants more, he can damn well pay for it like all the OTHER honest users of content do.
Yea, guess I'm not a producer. Then again, why would I buy content that my affiliates cannot use. How the hell are you supposed to promote a site otherwise?

Expect little fairies to come and give me signups?

I'm no genius here on the matter, I host websites, dont make them... but it seems to be that if you cannot use the content for promotion it sort of forces you to pirate it then... Hense moronic
