It's not like Fling and Fleshlight sought out this site and said "hey, you look like you have a great product, we'll give you millions of dollars in support if you just put up our ads somewhere."

I'm sure tnaflix is just an affiliate like everyone else with no real formal contact with Fling nor Fleshlight at all... they're just hoping for sales, not for someone to "sponsor them".
You're right in some cases Stuart, but at the same time they're not exactly shutting any of these affiliates down either. It gets reported, and then ignored. Wouldn't you agree it shows a pattern? That's where it'll probably end up hurting them eventually, those decisions to ignore it and allow it to continue.

Meanwhile, these sites are taking all the risk and at least temporarily will be getting all the reward. They'll learn which programs to leave alone, and which programs don't care if you post their full vids. They'll continue to get the increase in traffic that affiliates will lose.
