seriously, what deters a program from shaving?
 

someone actually going through and suing over it seems to be slim to none, and I know people here who responded to the PIB thread will still be sending them traffic in the morning, it's the same with matrix content, there are people still doing business with them from here. Think about it, what is actually stopping them from shaving and handing over our info, people are still doing business with these companies.

Are the risks to them really out weighing the advantages anymore?

Just thinking out loud ....

I don't think anything is a deterrent except for losing the webmasters' traffic.

because if they're greedy enough to skim the % off the top in the first place, then they're too greedy to let even a hand full of affiliates remove all their links after a thread like the pibcash one.

their schrooge
