You have to wonder who comes out looking worst from all this...
Business Week quoted an estimate that scumware operators are making $2 BILLION a year. Fair enough, that includes their business with mainstream companies, but they are only middlemen, so the value of hijacked traffic is much higher.
In other words this is a real issue which affects all of us, affiliates and sponsors alike. Yet here we are with just a handful of people keeping the topic alive at all, most are treating the issue as just another board drama, the lurkers still lurking and the post-count/sig whores carrying on business as usual. We almost deserve to be ripped off.
