The porn affiliate programs, or any online company, doesn't give a rat's ass what you do with your taxes. No offense. Whether you file on your end or not does not concern them. That I can assure you. What they do in regards to a W-8, or a W-9, has to do with THEIR taxes and liabilities. It has nothing to do with YOU.
That being said, I would think it has more to do with some level of fraud protection or I.D. verification more so than trying to get out of paying you. With the way the Patriot Act and banking laws are now in the U.S., you need to know WHO you are doing business with. Especially internationally.
