This whole "this business is cutthroat so it's okay to steal" shit is lame. Hate to tell everyone, but it's not okay to steal because you're in a competitive business. Not sure where that retarded idea even originated. It's all rationalization in order to make thieves feel better about themselves.

while I agree with this, one thing you have to think about is...the affiliates...how many sign up for a revshare program? most flock to the per signups, no matter how outrageous the claims...they accuse program owners of being shortsighted, when THEY are the shortsighted ones...going for the one time, fast up front payout as opposed to building a steady income...
While revshare programs can certainly shave, there is less incentive because a webmaster is truly being paid what their traffic is worth...
I'm not slamming PPS signups as a whole (we send to some as well) it's just that they would be more pre-disposed to it...
ok, if I opened a per signup program and had the terms "$35 per signup, but if your ratios suck ass, we reserve the right to terminate you" affiliates would freak out and avoid joining en masse....as they should as there is no way to prove what the ratios truly were...
bottomline, trust who you're sending your traffic to or don't send it....
