Banner space/text ad space for sale...

suddenly, ever play the six degrees of Kevin Bacon? Everyone in the world pretty much can be related to Kevin Bacon in about 6 steps or less.

I promote a sponsor that buys ad space from a company the is partners in a business that manages ad space for a company that steals bandwidth and content.

If you read the other threads, you will see that I have taken sponsors and AVN itself to task on the issue, and now Adbrite is no longer the Fusker ad sales channel of choice (they use engage now, I think).

There is one sponsor I use a fair bit right now that not so quietly uses Guba and Fusker type sites to promote their business. Even when the issues have been pointed out, they continue. I am in the process of dropping that sponsor, in the manner that I don't promote AFF or knowingly link to free sites or galleries that promote them.

I can have morals and still work in this business. You might want to try it

As for the phone sex line thing, would you just say "that's nice"? Would you be happy is someone wrote spyware that redirect 50% of your page surfers to another site? Would that be acceptable, because it is only a little theft? Would 60% make it worse?
