I actually TALK to my content buyer clients. I know who does and does not have affiliate programs, what most of them are doing with the content, and giving them some support tips.
So, once again, you are mistaken in your broad assumptions of legalese hypothetical situations you love to come up with.

so far i have only found a small handful of the affiliate programs which have not made this mistake. Established big boys like lightspeedcash made this mistake.
I would really like to see a list of the affiliate programs (all of those you deal with) that have not made that mistake.

Furthermore, most DMCA requests are dealt with in a simple manner. Not this whole lawsuit, saber rattling, gideon bullshit crap you spew here. My own experience included.
Nine out of ten times, a DMCA will get the offender to remove your shit and give you an apology, and that is the end of it. There is typically only one gideon gallery in ten who you are going to have to go to the distance with. Including Google, host, registrar, processing company or fax legal to their local.
So dream on with more of your hypothetical bullshit that does not apply to how real life business is actually handled most of the time.

the RIAA thought everyone would backpeddle to their demands for payment too, they thought no one would fight them when they came a knocking. They thought that any mistakes they made would be covered up the mountain of legal paperwork that is filed every year. They were wrong on both counts.
1. people fought back
2. their mistakes were made public (sending notices to a printer, sueing a dead guy)
The average cost of a case has ballooned for them (resulting in them not being able to give the artists any money)
and surveys show that only 3% of the population believes that filesharing should be illegal (down from 25% when they started).
the fact is the more people you convince to "Fight the good fight" the more likely this is going to happen to you too.
