it doesn't work like that. thats like saying someone could have purchased the Adwords traffic for "dating" or something. its a ppc engine. you are always just one person bidding on a group of keywords out of many other people bidding on those same keywords.
furthermore, if you have an adult site, they were most likely bidding on YOUR URL... which means that anytime an user visits your site that has zango on their computer, it pops up a nice, big window over your site inviting them to cams.com or aff.com. lars said its just "offering the surfer another option" -i guess you would agree with that.
they "could have" done the right thing, protected their company, their trademarks and affiliates and just send a legal letter to zango and ended it forever. they didn't because the issue was cheap traffic that starts at .015 per click... not protecting their business.
