exit consoles on affiliate delivered traffic

Is it unfair for a paysite to pop an exit console to another site, without carrying over your refid? In this case the paysite pops 2 exit consoles to other paysites sites within that niche, which affiliates like myself would probably be promoting anyway. Because there's no refid on those 2 pops, I lose the potential payouts on those sales. It's free traffic for those sites.

In this case it's ok, I emailed the program webmaster and he has disabled the exit consoles for my refid. He's the man! Just curious what your thoughts are generally on this issue...
