IMHO the program should own all domains that gets watermarked on their content. To do so otherwise is just begging to get fucked. Provide domains for the better affiliates and let them go to work. If they don't trust you enough or won't let you own the domain, then that should tell you all you need to know about them and their future plans with your content.

Well that is where the 100% trust comes into it I do agree. Problem is when the sponsor closes, changes hands, etc - we've all seen this a boatload of times - as the aff you have zero recourse if the sponsor owns the domain as well. The trust has to work both ways, which is why it's so few and far between that these arrangements are set up. Which is a shame, because it really is win-win for both parties.
