Correct me if I am wrong, but is this what knowledge I am gathering correctly?

I mean, if the people bitching are the tgp/mgp people and not the sponsors themselves who are the ones being victumized in this scenario... Then the sponsor must be profiting from these 1-5 mega sites in MORESO fashion then what their current "affiliate" program is providing them... So they are going along with this program because they are again "failing" in their affiliate reach?

Why are the affiliate programs allowing this? I see no other reason that immediatea profit, I have seen clips on these sites I know sponsors have uploaded themselves for branding rights, typically a content shooter plugging his name, or a solo girl branding her name..... I hear this is bullshit, you have my full movies up, but i can't see how enough heat isnt generated to halt these sites... And again everyone is saying the ones whining are not the content product owners??? Im baffled...

I.E. I'll take the 20 signups today although this is really huring the industry, because at our current business level we might not have a tommorow???
