Using AFF as an example where the sponsor themselves were stealing traffic and sales from their own affiliates, i would think it would be a slam dunk especially with all of Lars' admission here. Lucky for Lars I never did send them a substantial amount of traffic, or I would be leading the cause on that one.

There is a statute of limitations for suing over such things.

When did they last use Zango? Can it be proven?

What would be the statute of limitations for this cause of action?

My guess is 1-3 years for something like this.

I think it varies from location to location although AFF only annouced that they stopped about 6 months ago and recently I have noticed that that appear to be back at it again.

You wouldn't have any statue of limitations problems with them.

I don't promote them.

I was just curious if there would be a window of opportunity after this case is decided.

If this case goes in favor of Plaintiffs then any sponsor using or recently using these tactics should have alot to worry about.

however much AFF deserves a good fucking, i must admit i'd love to see CJ go down in flames over this sort of thing... mostly due to their early roots of content theft and how much they must have made off my content back then. i really could care less that they "went legit" once money was coming in... once a thief, always a thief..

actually it is, but it could be a good tip for other affiliates from other companies as an idea what they can do too. :2 cents:

Heh, thanks for the clarification. Yeah, ConsumptionJunction.com, SickSiteNetwork.com, and CJTraffic.com have jack-shit to do with this.

ChokeOnaCockra thanks for using this to a) associate us with something shady and b) to take a stab at our history.

For the record, we don't / never have steal content. Our fans submit stuff and it goes up. If it's watermarked and we can tell where it came from (as in obviously not something the fan created) we take it down. Anytime someone contacts us about some piece of content that's there that wasn't watermarked so we couldn't tell whose it was we offer to either A) take it down or B) turn it into one of our Video Sponsorship ad spots we sell for FREE.

When you allow user submissions people are going to post stuff they don't own. It's the nature of the beast. I defy YOU to find any other company that allows user submissions that has a better policy than us. Find someone that not only quickly removes but gladly turns it into an ad spot for free that they normally charge a lot of money for. I dare ya!

bump this one a few more times :)

bump for jimthefiend

Lets see AFF got slapped by the FTC, CJ.com getting sued setting the frame work for someone to have a slam dunk case against AFF.....

very interesting.. would like to see how this one turns out
