Smokey think things through a bit more.

Should a sponsor ignore a perfectly good way of getting traffic and making a profit just so you make money?

If a sponsor wants more traffic from his affiliates he needs to be very competitive and make good profits. Can he achieve this by using other methods of driving traffic himself and using the extra profit to pay out and support you more?

Should a sponsor go 100% into only having affiliate traffic?

Would it be more profitable for a new site to forget about an affiliate program and go into submitting to P2P networks, Torrent sites, etc?

This is business and while I hate people who steal content I cannot complain when others find better ways to work.
