We have received a recent complaint from an affiliate on another affiliates copying content. I thought this was a good time to make it clear where we stand on intellectual property theft. We have very low tolerance for this sort of behavior. Luckily we have not had any problems until now. If we receive a complaint regarding taking other's content (images or text) we will talk to both parties to try to determine what really happened. If we do determine that an affiliate copies content, then we will boot them from our program.
This makes sense on many different levels. if one of our affiliates copies or uses spam then our program as well as our partners look bad.
