Good to know that speaking the truth and not sugercoating shit is now considered to be an 'ignorant dickhead' thing

You say it's "straight to the paysite" after the torrent... why the hell would anyone go to the paysite when he has the paysite on his own damn hard drive?

I will admit that full site rips DO appear on torrent sites as well get downloaded, HOWEVER it is not 1/10 as bad as people would like to make people think, EVERY SITE is NOT available in full download form, the actual number of full site rips are small.

REALLY???? So your telling me any any of the sheep here who for some reason hold you up as a special person that YOU ALONE speek for EVERY program owner???
you really are full of shit huh? lemme put it to you this way and maybe there will be a small chance it may sink into your head...
A Program owner is a business owner, and normally (unless their fucking stupid) they take care of their business. bigger programs have STAFF who's ONLY JOB is to scour the internet to find REPORT & REMOVE their content from "unwelcome sites"
so, why is it then that UNLESS the affils whine and cry a fucking river on the board do the program owners, reps, etc STAY QUIET about torrent sites.......REREAD THAT REAL QUICK.
But NOPE, what you get from a sponsor, rep or lackey is a canned generic response (some of you sheep have even called it before they got a chance to post it)

You got my jaw-jacked on this one.... you mean to tell me that when you....
(1) Fill out an "app" with a sponsor
(2) download creatives from the sponsor
(3) design pages with said creatives or throw up links for said sponsor
(4) You generate sales and sponsor pays you
That is NOT a working type relationship? were you dropped on your head as a child? are you sitting at your computer right now with a helmet on your head? If so I am truly sorry and am not poking fun at you lol.
BUT, you are RIGHT with the google reference, however lets take this offline for a moment....
You are employed by USA MERCH, you sell little nic knacks and junk, you offer your products via craft shows, retail stores etc. you contact the local paper to run an ad, YOU ARE NOT EMPLOYING THEM, you are utilizing a service from them that will hopefully generate you leads for your products.
Back online, same thing ;)
