To me, that's just part of the symbiotic relationship. Sponsor gives me content, somewhere to send joins, I send joins and get paid - win-win, when you factor in the not unreasonable at all factor that a lot of content will get stolen/shared/hotlinked/etc - bit unreasonable of me as an aff to get moody about a site putting a wm on their content.

For some affiliates - the good, honest ones - I will provide unwatermarked videos for promotion so you can register similar URLs, etc. As long as it's all going to the Tour and Join pages I really don't care.
The issue tho is getting ENOUGH unwatermarked videos on a
consistent basis. This is what I'm dealing with right now. A very good affiliate needs unwatermarked videos but he's requesting a lot, on a consistent basis. Usually not a problem providing a few videos to get things started but getting him (or any affiliate) a TON of unwatermarked vids is hard to accomplish. I have a full-time Editor who edits, watermarks, etc so for him to upload in essence TWO versions (watermarked and UNwatermarked) is way too time consuming.
I am looking for a solution tho. LOL
