The only thing people are pissed about is that THEY'RE not making the money. It all comes down to the money and nothing more.

Here's how it works.
You signup to promote a sponsor. You grab some content. You take the time to make some TGP galleries and freesites and submit them. You burn some bandwidth. You do this to profit from a partnership with that sponsor.
Some kid likes it, downloads it and then posts it all over the place.
GUBA goes out and sucks the shit in, posts it on their site and charges someone to see it.
The sponsors may profit if someone decides to signup by typing in the sponsors watermarked URL. The sponsors will not have to share that revenue with those who promoted the site legally.
Most programs will not allow an affiliate to post those same images in a member's area for which the affiliate charges a membership fee.
Perhaps all affiliates should adopt GUBA's business model and not become affiliates. They should just charge people to see stuff they steal from other people. Except that wouldn't work because where would they get their content without affiliates who are promoting the program?
Do you see a problem here?
