I just don't feel like I am wrong about this...help me out here :)
This whole AFF drama has me really conflicted.
I don't think I am wrong, but others have posted that I am in the wrong
AFF has affiliates place ads on websites, some of those sites are warez, torrent, pic sharing, etc...the ones I have REAL issue with are the sites that AFF is on that basically post whole members areas in the forum areas.
Now, I understand that if you contact AFF about this, that they will look into it and cancel the account if there is any real violation going on
but here is what I dont' agree with. When someone posts a thread on GFY pointing out a site that has shitloads of members areas totally posted online, and the site is advertising AFF on the site, Lars claims that not one sponsor has contacted them and questioned the practice of it all, but why would Lars not contact the sponsor himself, or have one of the employees do it as a professional courtesy?
I know when I have an affiliate that is obviously cheating a sponsor, I contact the sponsor directly and start a dialog with them and get to the bottom of it.
Now, I understand that Lars and AFF are way busy and don't have time to check every single account, but when someone brings up such a serious issue, and Lars basically in not so many words says it isn't his problem, isn't that kind of fucked up?
He is basically saying that he will never go out of his way to help out or help protect any of your interests because it might affect his sales, after all this sites DO probably do some serious business with AFF
While I did think about it and know there is probably no legal issue on AFF's part, I do think that with Lars speaking out the way he did speaks volumes about his business practices
bottom line, if I ever see a friend/associate getting cheated, I speak up, even if it does affect my sales
