if the site watermark stays untouched, almost anyone will let you put your own watermark on it.
as for unwatermarked, never. why would a program give out their videos unmarked so someone else can take credit for that video?
people can say all they want, its done all the time. for example, i have an asian site called kunpaupussy.com and i give out my content without a mark, next thing i know i see my shit all over the place with asianteenpoon.com or something else. i don't see any benefit to the person creating the content to allow anyone to put a name on the content that its not, unless its sold off as non exclusive.
content is the backbone of the industry and i can't see devaluing it by putting names on it that aren't what it really is. i am sure that you'll have tons of people come in here begging for the traffic, but i personally wouldnt trade of the contents value for some traffic.
:2cents.

A reasonable compromise might be for the program to perform the watermarking themselves, and retain ownership/control of the domain that appears as the watermark. That way they don't get their traffic sent off to who-knows-where if the affiliate decides he wants to get "creative" with filtering.
The domain would simply redirect to a program URL of the affiliate's choice.
