Of course this ruling was with relation to our company and I can't gaurantee that they would rule the same for you so don't take this as gospel.
Having them accept that your affiliate income is a *sale* as opposed to a commission is highly significant.

You are totaly correct that the ruling applies to your company only. But it can be useful in an argument.

If you would be willing to send conact info to:

for future reference I would be greatful!
