No I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying a bit. I am not saying sponsor should pay every affiliate?s licensing fee. What I am saying is I think the sponsors should go back and evaluate their decision to settle or not settle in the context of how it impacts their affiliates. Someone gave the example of ARS having 2000 affiliates above. Now which is the better solution have each of the 2000 affiliates pay $1500 or have ARS pay? Ok so ARS still doesn?t want to pay maybe they should set up a legal defense fund for their affiliates that get sued so their affiliates aren?t left holding the bag. (Note I am not picking on ARS just using them since they were mentioned above)
