Every website member should be an affiliate by default.

Website membership shouldn't cost anything but instead optional upgrades to their
membership should be available for a fee.

Content should be easily accessable, restricted access to the bulk of it sure, but if it's
promo content then its designed to be free and seen/reposted by everyone affiliate or not.

While.... no I won't pay to access your content. Instead I expect free entry to your
members section and all the content I can download, based on my being a webmaster. If
a member demostrates they are sending referials they should have credits meaning they
don't pay either.

Only difference between a webmaster and surfer in this Web2.0 world is the title.
Especially when most adult webmasters don't even know HTML.

Any content you want to protect from easy reposting by your members should be
streaming with a tokenized system protecting it's location. As stated in another thread,
improvements to Flash may see this tokenizing extend to the client, while Vista locks
down stream pathways so they can't be middle-man'd. However really..... If your site
offers anything as a real site then even if your content is everywhere the surfers should
still have added benefit by joining your site.
