Expect it to happen a lot more. Programs will start to look long and hard at affiliates who are just getting rebills, got money held because it's under the minimum or people using their content to sell ad space.
5-6 years ago the layer of cream on the cake was thick enough to carry these people. Today it's not. So expect programs to look at whose sending traffic, whose only doing rebills and who are mostly getting paid rebills. Then deciding if the axe will fall on them. Consider this the future.

In English. Cut those you can live without, to keep paying those you need.

Paul, as usual you a fucking idiot.
In the real world, people don't resort to stealing. They get a fucking job, or second job or third job to pay their personal bills. What Melissa and Shane are doing here is using the affiliate's money to pay their bills so they don't have to go out and work to make the money... booo fucking who. I don't feel sorry for them one bit, between the both of them they could easily WORK enough to cover their bills and wouldn't need to steal.
This is no different then if I worked for a company and didn't make enough in my pay check so instead of getting a second job I just stole money from the register. THEFT! But like Epitome said, in this case it is a civil matter and she would need to be sued.
