To be clear, I didn't say it happened (affiliates being similarly accountable under the law as the primary infringing party). I'm not going to look.
Plenty of affiliates have been sued for secondary infringement outside of adult... i am not sure that RICO would meet the tests and apply under any conditions as from what I am reading, its very gray and complicated. Too lazy to look it up or attempt figure it out. However, that does not mean that the plaintiffs can't simply insist its so, make that claim and sue for that amount anyway, leaving you to have to argue and prove otherwise at your own expense. I would guess they can argue that if you participated in any way to benefit the site(s), being the network was saturated with that name, displayed banners with the words/urls, used watermark videos etc etc etc you'd still be liable.
