If the affiliate program owner shares some of the liability then EVERYBODY will be exposed, there is no way for anybody to protect themselves if they are US-based.
I'll be damned if you think a US program would allow its webmaster to do as they please if it knows it shares a global responsibility to comply. All these foreign webmasters that think this won't affect them have another thing coming.
