I think there are a couple of reasons:
(a) If it has your logo on it, people will type that into the address bar and buy memberships without having to pay the affiliates a cent
(b) The programs are still profitable enough that they aren't paying attention to the losses of revenue.
The first one is big. In the past, when people were putting smaller amounts of images and 10 second videos on free sites, tgps, and on newsgroups... yeah, it was pretty much a given. But torrents and P2P change all that, because people want THE WHOLE F'N DEAL. They download site rips, not galleries... they download entire videos, not clips. Too many people haven't realized that what little traffic they get just can't be big enough return for having your content dilluted like strip club rum.
The second part is also a big issue. Most programs aren't as profitable as they once were, but they are still profitable. As long as they are making money, they aren't pay attention to the dollars slipping away. Not only are they leaving money on the table, but Lars and his type are there sweeping up the money off the table.
Program owners need to understand that they could be WAY more profitable... and they could make thier affiliates way happier. But that isn't happening.
Meanwhile, Lars laughs at all of us and takes the money and runs. Program owners need to understand that he is laughing AT you, not with you.
