Absolutely.
The legal definition of "affiliate" is more related to an actual partnership. "Affiliates" have actual "stock" in the giving company and vice versa. Similar to "sister companies", I would imagine.
The "affiliate" we, adult webmasters, use is merely a nice sounding term. Affiliates have very little control over the sponsor company. Affiliates are actually resellers, of a sort.
