The reality is, you really have to go after the affiliates yourselves. I have not inside knowledge on your issues with AWE so I can't comment, but speaking *generally* how many programs are going to email affiliates (or god forbid, suspend or terminate their account) for using another program's promo?
It's not realistic. You should know affiliates (yes I am one) are a very flaky sort, they will shit all over a company on the boards, icq, etc. for even the slightest dispute or snub. And we all know that many programs will take a complaint about an affiliate (spamming, whatever) and first look to see if he/she is making money. He is? "We'll look into it". He isn't? "We've looked into it and warned the affiliate". You know the game.
As for photos on the site, fair enough, but for affiliate sites contact the hosting company if they don't respond and/or file a DMCA (some hosts will require this). For "stolen" content, I have no experience but it is a copyright issue so I'd expect this would work.
