Tia... I read your article before, I believe. You're right... It won't change.
My point is that Sponsors should cut down the amount of free content given to affiliates and start to "tease" the surfer rather than "expecting" a join.
If sponsors were to start not including some type pictures and video in their free content, they will be ahead.
Even if sponsors had a gallery builder or numbered their galleries in a way that the common surfer couldn't just up the galllery number would be a great improvement.
Affiliates will make more money.
No one has to worry about 2257 except the sponsor since the fhg pictures would not be so explicit.
The surfer would join because they are tired of seeing the same o' shit on the new boards and actually go to the site and take a look at the tour for a change.

You're right, teasing would work much better in my opinion, but not the way they do it now.
Sponsors give away a ton of shit content to use for promotion, use the same tired pics for free content and hosted galleries, and go as far as making new galleries with content that's been used already.
I think it would work much better to give away a very small set of the best pics they have, some softcore, or some content that's censored.
Now I already see a problem with this.. tgp and link lists.. they are in my opinion at the root of the problem.
Sponsors have the affiliates best interest in mind because that benefits the sponsor.. tgps and link lists don't, and are at odds with their webmasters. They won't accept content that's overused or old because they want bookmarkers. It's a no win situation for webmasters and for the industry as a whole.
How to fix this? I wish I knew.. the industry runs on survival of the fittest with no real rules.. no government intervention.. until now.. I had hope when I first saw the proposed changes to the 2257 laws.. but now, I don't know
It'll sure be interesting to see where the chips fall on that
