Not getting kicked of the program if i use some unauthorised content but am still sending them sales.

At the end of the day, Surfers will not come back to your site if u just have a bunch of 10 second clips. Its sad but true. Sponsors need to realise this is a two way relationship and they shouldnt bite the hand that fed them in the first place. This isnt directed at anyone before someone jumps in. this is my general opinion.
I have the content you want so hit me up after you sign up as an affiliate. Will I ban you for using content you should not use. Well I give you enough already and would advise you talk to me if it's not enough.

As for who feeds who, well it's a debate. But welcome to the world of business. Look at the label on the shirt on your back. Made in the US or Far East? Do you worry about the US clothes worker you put out of work when you buy, or do you buy it without a thought to him?

When a new supplier of goods opened up did you shun him and stay with the guy "who had been feeding you" or did you move on?

Welcome to the business world. You earn your spot and every day you work you have to justify your place. When someone invents a better model, those who stay with the old one lose out.
