In the same manner that GFY didn't take advertising or a skin from Guba, it would be nice to see GFY step away from accepting ad money from Sexsearch and maybe even AFF until they are clearer on things like scumware and asterixware.

This is a little different. Guns have legit, legal purposes. If guns were only used for armed robbery and illegal activites then yes the gun makers should be held liabel for providing the means for people to do this. They would be facilitating it.
Their software (while it may not be illegal yet) has no legitimate purpose. They take traffic from someone else in 99.9999% of the time. They make their money from their "advertisers" buying the stolen traffic. The more their advertisers make the more they can make from the traffic. They allow their advertisers to bid on their own search terms, they know this is happening and is a problem but they will continue to deny it because it makes them more money by allowing it. Not only from a shaving point, but look at the bid war beteen sex search and aff. If Aff couldn't buy their own keywords i bet those keywords would be selling for a lot less. But since they let companies by their own keywords look at how much more they can make off of them by pitting companies against each other.
