That's why my idea goes back to triggers. CCBill is a perfect target for these things, because literally thousands of paysites call thier join page in the same manner. It's a nice big juicy target. Either redirect the surfer to another join page altogether (simple) or inject alternate affiliate codes (harder, you need a long list) and the trick is done. The traffic is stolen when it is the ripest, when the surfer has pulled out the CC and is getting ready to join.
NATS based sites also face the same issue: signup/signup.php is the weakness, easily spotted and used as a trigger for substitutions or redirections. Traffic sucked away from those pages would be primo stuff.
It's not hard to see how it can be done because much of the industry is now working with the same small set of tools.
