Well if we're like the consumer we should get the AGs to sue you asshole networks
it is the same is it not?
First off, most of the big networks already do this for pubs. I dont let clients in who cant service their customers. I dont let offers in without terms. We also dont let clients grow to big or to fast. With the new round of events i am sure we will further enhance what we allow in and dont.
However there are some offers that dont service the consumer, dont disclose terms, and are out there knowingly decieving consumers. those will get lots of complaints which draws out the AG's/FTC to investigate, but they get run out there a lot (look at emillionaire offers). No one person can regulate the industry, either we all do our parts or we continue to have threads like this, as publishers you can refuse to run offers that appear to violate state, or federal laws,and help push those actors out of our industry, as a network i do this and will continue to do this and refine what we accept, and other networks are doing this as well. There are still others who dont, you as an affiliate have the ability to stamp it out by not supporting them
The Oprah thing is sensationalism they only want 3-5 of the defendants, the rest were for effect. If youre a pub on that list, its really not that bad, unless your name is mentioned in the body of the complaint. If youre just a named defendant, youre there to help hit the headlines.
Oprah sues 50 companies sounds better than Oprah sues 3.
