Its the individual affiliates who are legally responsible. Thats not to say you cant be pissed about it though..

I'm not an expert in DMCA stuff, but, once made aware that they are billing for infringing material, aren't they legally obligated to respond properly or become legally responsible?
I think if anyone pressed the point through the legal process with the "search engine sponsors" you are talking about, they would be held responsible. I mean, a fence is held responsible if he helps sell goods he has reason to believe are not legit. Seems like there would be something there.
Not that I want more legislation. Would be nice if people would just be a bit more human to one another.
