Wrong... following this logic all sponsors would simply not track affiliate traffic at all because not tracking and not paying affiliate always earns more... Well... in the long run of course this would not work for the sponsor because affiliates would run away fast...
Sponsors should not even bother balancing leaks... Man enough to offer an affiliate-program? Stand up and be man enough to track and credit correctly.

Yes exactly... there's a difference between a facebook- or clips4sale link (leak) and deliberately keeping certain purchase options out of the tracking... It pisses people off indeed...
