In alot of cases the spyware programs aren't taking the traffic away from the program owners, they're simply replacing the referring affiliates code with their own. The program owners in many cases are getting the same number of overall signups, it's just that the wrong affiliate is getting credit for them.
This is one of the reasons margins for affiliates have been dropping so drastically as of late.

Sponsors do lose, think of all the type in traffic they get from branding or their own advertising. In those cases they wouldn't have to pay out an affiliate, but because their own traffic gets hijacked by an affiliate using zango they have to pay out big bucks on traffic that should have been 100% theirs.
True there is swaping going on, aff targets sex search, sex search targets fling, fling targets aff, cams targets sex search, etc... the affiliates get lost in the shuffle. But in a lot cases you have 1 company targeting the fuck out of another who isn't playing the game. A lot of these companies are targeting the fuck out of ifriends but you wont see ifriends using zango, so they are taking a nice hit. Imagine all the money they gross a year and take 1-2% away from that. You talking millions lost. now why wont they sue zango, any lawsuit cost would be made back in a couple months of shutting them down.... i have no idea why they wont do it. makes no sense to me. but if i had 1/100th the money they have i would have sued zango a year ago.
