From a legal standpoint -- it's not ARS's job to terminate the affiliate, and for them or any other sponsor to do so is a courtesy to the copyright holder.

When an affiliate who doesn't actually have processing is using stolen content, going to their host is the legal way to shut them down.

You fill out an affadavit and their host has to take action -- first by notifying the offender that they are using stolen content and giving them time (we use 24 hours at Cavecreek) to remove the material before the account is terminated.

Stolen or unlicensed use of content sucks, there's no doubt about it -- we get many complaints daily between CCBill and Cavecreek.

But to blame or boycott ARS for no valid reason, well, that's just wrong.
