"There's a message here for anybody running an affiliate program; you need to monitor what the third parties are doing," she said. "If you are using a business model that recruits others, you are strictly liable for the practices of those third parties. It's not just the people who push the button. It's the business that provides the financial incentive. The law is clear and strict."
Tho they may have a valid intention, - this is all the more reason why any sponsor program does not need to operate under the laws of the US or have anything to do with the FTC.

If that law is "clear and strict", it's not a law I want to know about. I also ain't going to be responsible (beyond any reasonable level) for the conduct of third parties, such as affiliates.
