It's kind of a common sense thing from my perspective... I don't bid on adwords like this because I KNOW that is generally not acceptable... especially if I am sending directly to the tour and not to a landing page.

thats bullshit. He found out what was happening, did not contact shoehorn, kept taking the traffic, and made sure that money wasn't sent.
If he was on the "up and up" he would have contacted shoehorn right away and said " yo wtf you doing, stop doing that bro... " How many "honest" companies would continue to take the traffic, make the money but not even bother to contact the affiliate to tell him to stop or to talk to him about it. Especially on something that he doen't say you can't do and most companies allow you to do.
It's bullshit, it is amazing to see some people rush in here to defend him with their blinder on.
