the more people who join the group the lower we can reduce the fees. $50 x 100 is the same as 1000 x $5 so fees could be lowered as more people join and/or more people could be hired to work on it.

If you make even $1,000 a month what is $50 to help fight this. Sponsors, if you make millions a month what is $500 ?
Apparently, some of the AV companies are already onto it, which is the best we could hope for, but better in preventing future trojans would rest firmly with the sponsors. They need simply to STOP relying on refcodes and start implementing something more robust.

It's not rocket science.... yet it requires a bit of backend work, which most don't want to do, until that is enough affiliates start talking up....
