And that's after I pay to shoot the content, take care of 2257, take the legal risks, pay hosting for the website, AND spend the time to make galleries that I then HOST for the affiliate as well.

You tell me...as an affiliate would YOU do all that work for $9.37 a sale? Well, program owners do it all day long.
You are free to pay what you want to your affiliates. Just as every other program is too. You pay the amount you do because that is a rate you've deemed to be good for your business. Lowering it to 5% would bring you no affiliates.

This is basic publisher-advertiser supply & demand that goes on everyday on the web. There around hundreds of thousands of stores who are giving a large percent of their sales to Google Adwords for their qualified traffic.
