Sure a few content owners here (maybe 10% of the industry) wont like me anymore but then most never did or could care less.
To play by the rules now days is a suckers game and a losing cause for Joe Affil.

This is what I don't think some people grasp yet. Many of these affiliates, especially the ones from places like Russia, aren't going to just exit the business. They are going to start pirating your content and they are going to follow "the new affiliate model" which basically means joining Oron's affiliate program or otherwise starting their own tubes and file lockers which openly pirate content and make money from the ads. It's already happening in fact and has been happening for a few years.
The problem is just going to get worse as you allow it to run away.
Here's an example of a "new affiliate" from today on the board:

Guys like this will simply replace the "old pay site affiliates". They'll be stealing your content or working in cahoots with those who do for a slice of the pie.
