If it was "just an affilate" and they closed "every affilates" account that broke the spam laws they wouldn't be paying $650k fine.. They would be fighting it, much like TopBucks is doing..

Settlement means they admit they broke the law in some way. It would be much cheaper for them to fight it, unless they thought the FTC would win the fight...

Breaking the law isn't okay, and paying a $650k isn't a big deal for a lot of adult companies.. It is a big deal though when it's a fine for breaking the law.
