It makes zero difference to me whether someone gets involved with scumware deliberately or by accident, mainly because after 10+ years in this business I rarely expect to learn the truth anyway.

How different is this from the relaxed attitude to spam, which changed as soon as the FTC delivered someone a massive fine? Suddenly all the sponsors were perfectly well able to get their act together. This is just the same and if a few affiliates get publicly canned, losing a bunch of money in the process, you can be damn sure most of the rest will soon start being more careful of their associations.
