thats because they are saying a sponsor has some responsibility to terminate affiliates it knows are using illegal methods of promoting them.
basically what they are saying is "rogue affiliate " is bullshit. they are making them establish an online consumer complaint form so that they can longer say " we didnt know"
this will likely put an end to all the torrent sites using aff, as all it will take is a few content owners to use the form and state the illegal promotion of aff using their material.. they wont be able to simply "shuffle" its clients to another affiliate code. If aff ignores the problem the ftc will be up their ass.
now the ftc will know exactly who these rogue affiliates are. I'm sure the torrent groups won't be too happy to hear aff being reamed by the ftc , as aff have likely given the torrent companies payment details to the ftc. and i would guess a few of them paid in USA ( ouch ) might be looking at charges themselves.
