Actually, we have more than just 'J.M's side of the story'; we have
Sweet Entertainment Group saying that AB's use of Fisting Lessons content violates their terms of service.
DBM, who has never, and does not now license the internet rights to any of their releases.
MultiMedia Verlag, who has never licensed internet rights to any of their releases.
And you can't really write off J.M's action since they've gone to the trouble and expense to investigate the issue and initiate legal proceedings.
On the other hand, we have Rob saying, (and I'm paraphrasing) 'well, we have special licenses we bought from a 3rd party and I'm not going to say who, and I'm not going to show them to you.'
Rob would gain a whole lot more sympathy with a little more information than he is getting with a story that's only a step above 'the dog ate my homework'.
As an affiliate, you have a right to view these supposed licenses. In fact, I think you have a duty to do so to mitigate the damages should any infringing material appear on your site.
Saying "On thus-and-such date, I requested a copy of the licenses, I received them, read them and believed them to be genuine." would be a lot better for you than your current stance of "I can't be bothered."
