Whilst I know we all laugh at Clickbank, there are people that are making decent cash from it thanks to their army of sub-affiliates. I mean, the products may suck donkey balls in a trans-species erotica kind of way, but their system itself is pretty solid.
Anyway, a few days ago, I asked SlightlyShady if he knew anything was up in the Warez scene, being that I figured if anyone on here knew it'd be him, because we'd just had three of the larger warez selling sites approach us. That very afternoon, we had a deluge of these guys. Nearly two dozen.
This is why I haven't been on much in the last few days, and why I didn't manage to post boobs to my technical question (I'll recitfy that tonight).
As it turns out, anythingthat Clickbank thinks is even midlly related to the ability to potentially download copyrighted work has been given the arse. According to an email that was sent out to merchants and affiliates, any program identified as such is being turned off on April 9th.
This extends beyond anything that's directly P2P & Torrents, and actually touches on other IP stuff, like the PSP and Wii hack guides (I'm not sure if it's because hacking the device is generally so you can play pirated games, or if releasing source code for the devices is the IP infringment itself due to reverse engineering).
Naturally this has left many of them scrambling to find new payment options that also include the ability to have affiliates market it underneath them... Which has left me, and the rest of my (admittedly bottom feeding) program with a shitload of new subs all asking the same questions as each other, most of which are answered in our FAQs anyway!
So much for only working part time :'(
