No, it is a fair point: A few years back when most link lists and TGPs accepted sponsor's content, I spent a lot of time setting up free sites and TGP galleries with it. Then one of my sponsor's stopped doing an affiliate program. They were fair about it, they emailed everyone and told them that they were giving up paying about 2 months in advance, to give you a chance to pull their stuff. But as I was using their free content I could not redirect sponsor clicks from all the sites, because it was still their copyright content. I could not even just change all the piccies because these were free sites listed on link lists and galleries listed on TGPs and I would have got blacklisted. So I had wasted all that time. And worse, I could not even pull the sites as this would mean about 20% of my free sites and galleries would 404, which would also got me blacklisted with the TGPs and link lists, so I had to continue paying bandwidth for sites sending these guys free traffic.

Happy, I was not.
