I had posted this in another thread but don't think many people noticed it.

CJ.com is being sued becaused they allowed their affiliates to use "adware" one of the companies being Zango. From my understanding, it looks like CJ affiliates were using companies like Zango to target other CJ affiliates. CJ still profited so they were basically turning a blind eye and allowing it to happen.
If you don't want to read the whole thing, at least read this part:

skip down to the part " B. Adware and Affiliate Commission theft".
It explains how "adware" works and the process in which affiliates have their traffic stolen. Sounds very familar to what AFF was doing, but imo AFF's affiliates would have had a much better case. AFF, the company ADMITTED they were doing this, and taking money from their affiliates. So there wouldn't be an issue of neglagence, where they had to prove they weren't letting rouge affiliates get away with it, when in fact it was themselves doing it. Anyway, its an interesting read and something that all sponsors who allow zango traffic, or who participate in buying zango traffic themselves should take notice. Yes, I hope you get fucked.
Would be nice to see this start a pattarn and catch up to some companies.

can't wait to see this one unfold and the after effects it has on other companies.
No, it means they were caught!
