Program owners turn a blind eye to their affiliates ripping off all their content to promote their sites, hosting FHGs on their own servers (that they're not licensed to do) and yet complain when someone steals from them.

Content producers continue to do business with the prorgams that let their affiliates do the above.

Shall I go on with the hypocrissy? I can guarentee that if a ton of the people complaining were looked into, it would be found that they support theft, fraud or something else questionable in one form or another whether it's turning a blind eye or supporting it on the "downlow".

And no, I don't promote Guba or support theft.
All well and fine, but you and Chadgenius (and others) are missing the point. The real issue is that Guba (temporarily) skinned GFY and they allowed it.

We can go on and on all day/night (we have already, actually) about morality, yadda yadda, but many people here were rightly offended when Guba's name, banners, etc. were all over this board.

(to bite for a second: Aff's ripping off content from their sponsor is not comparable: The Aff's are sending the traffic back to the sponsor, Guba is not, to my knowledge)
