If you have that kind of free time to play Perry Mason, knock yourself out. I couldn't give a shit. That's their business, not mine. Since the only content that appears on our sites from Cybernet affiliate accounts is produced specifically by them in their own San Francisco studios, that's our concern...nothing more. It does not affect us in any way, shape or form. The licensed content we feature from Cybernet is wholly owned and copyrighted - by Cybernet. Our business relationship is a straight line between us and Cybernet. It is not a triangle.
As for "affecting our bottom line" - I'm assuming you're infering that we only keep them as affiliates because of the revenue.
Although they are among the very best...they aren't the only game in town...and we could likely do just as well with other programs. Revenue isn't the primary motivating factor in the equation.
We have been affiliated with Peter and Tony of Cybernet for many years (in fact, our earliest is account #302 in a sequence that now reaches over 10k) - and our mutual loyalty is born of that longtime business affiliation and trust in their excellent and unique products and shared personal interests in the genres for which they produce.
What they do outside our business relations is their affairs and does not affect us - as it shouldn't. Do I support any affiliations they may have with Guba? Of course not. But that has no bearing on our relationship with them.
Get it? Got it?
Good.
