Affiliates are business partners that have a very important role to play in an adult site's business plan. Unless the site is well-capitalized and has the expertise to market on it's own, affiliates provide a very valuable service, often investing their own funds and having their own distribution overhead...

Please tell me what expense the referring webmaster has when they are including AEBN in their member's area?
There is no production cost, ie models to pay, videos to encode, editing, etc. and there is no post production in adding it to a site, setting up processing or what have you.
This is not the same referral relationship a webmaster has that is using galleries to send traffic to a sponsor and has to pay for bw, make galleries. get traffic or whatever.
The webmaster has precious little to do to make money off of a pay per view product like AEBN. That is why they should not get the same percentage of the referral relationship that you are referring to, imo.
