It's probably fair to say that this practice is unknown to most affiliates, and what is being seen in this thread is the opinion typical affiliates hold regarding this tactic. What should really be done at this point is to make other affiliates aware of this unfair practice and then hold the appropriate sponsors liable. With effective pressure from the affiliates that deliver the vast majority of their sales, they may do away with these unfair advantages.
Obviously TBP has no interest in setting the playing field level on their own - complaining to them about it is a wasted effort. Making others aware of the situation however is not - and keeping this very discussion going is not - and could lead to a positive change (for the rest of us).

"Some sites might even offer you a better price to stay longer when you go to cancel (at usually 30-50% of the normal monthly rate)."
Do you honestly believe that this is information paysite owners want their sales staff to pass on to potential customers BEFORE making the decision to cancel?
