I'd also like to add...Did the thief also have links to the reviewed site?
If so how much revenue did this thief make from the stolen content? If sign-ups occurred then I think it would be fair to give these players to Brean and any commissions earned directly from the stolen content page also.

Hi Aussie Dave
You've raised some very valid points, when I emailed the affiliate with the copied content, he had taken the content down within an hour. So that was definitely easier than I expected.
Your point about earnings is also a valid concern, I've spoken to Brean privately about this and that matter has been resolved, so no worries there.
I'm also working with our legal department to come up with stronger T&C's with regard copied content.
However, I'd strongly recommend that all affiliates start using services like copyscape, as it will make resolving these type of matter for affiliate managers a lot easier!
Now, Im off to have a beer and watch the snooker.
