I personally think that EVERY affiliate program should be responsible for anything their affiliates do
contractors are responsible for their contract labor employees, so why aren't affiliate prorgams? affiliates are basically just contract labor

Imagine a company like Google (Adsense specifically). The internet industry as we know it could easily become crippled by such an action. I think most reasonable judges should agree that in the internet economy that this isn't a feasible solution to make affiliate programs bear the liability on behalf of affiliates.
