Seems pretty simple to me. If you want to push their sites, you must agree to their terms. If you don't like their terms, then find other sites to push. I don't get what the big deal is here. They have a right to run their business as they see fit - just like you have a right to run yours.
Somebody clue me in on what all the whining is about in this thread....

The warning is that they are sticklers for the rules and weren't willing to "work with" an affiliate who was (I presume) sending them sales. Yes it was their rules, yes what they did was fine. However, most companies wouldn't have cared and been fine with what he did. These days you think sponsors would be doing what they can to get as many sales as they can not lose sales over something as stupid as a watermark on site that was built and dedicated to just them.
The real !!Warning!! here though, should be: Before you spend a lot of time working with a new sponsor, make sure what you are doing is ok with them even if you think it is harmless and most sponsors wouldn't care.
