:stop My suggestion for keeping webmaster content out of the hands of thieves, tube sites

Ok, here it goes.

I have noticed programs that have been removing their webmaster content such as movies and pictures zips. These programs inculde, but are not limited to Twistys, BangBros, etc.

They are asking that you contact them in order to be able to access the content. The only reason imaginable I can think of that they are doing this is to prevent people from signing up as an affiliate and robbing them of the content that they provide to use for promos, galleries, etc.

My suggestion is that all programs begin using a system of charging affiliates the base price of their website, and crediting back their affiliate accounts the price they paid for the "membership" to the affiliate content.

So let's just say program "X" charges $34.95US to join their website for the average surfer. Program "X" should charge the affiliate the same price to access their promo content. NOW! When webmaster "Y" pays the money to grab the content, the amount is immediately deposited into their payout.

We all know that most affiliate programs require at least $50-$100 in sales in order to cut the check. Well, if these people do not promote, they never see their money back. It's as simple as that. They get one month to start bringing in sales or they rebill or are cancelled as an affiliate.

This would wipe out a ton of bullshit theft in the industry and only serious webmasters would follow the rules.

I know, some will say, "I need to see the content before I will promote.... blah blah..."

Fine, give them samples of pics and low grade movies. Anyone worth their weight in gold in this industry already knows what converts, retains etc. The rest? Fly by nights.

Thoughts?
