This comment is unfair. The decision has just come down a few days ago and sponsors are consulting with legal counsel I'm sure. While I know that affiliates do need to get their own houses in order, it only makes sense for companies to make well-thought out decisions.
There are literally lives at stake on this turn of events, and people are weighing the risks versus rewards. Not an easy one for some of the larger companies I'll bet.

Nobody wants the death of a performer on their conscience, that's for sure...

Most sponsors have already made their decision regarding what they'll do. I know of at least 5 sponsors that for fact will not supply the needed information. Why are they waiting? Just say it already and be done with it. Most sponsors will wait till the day before this rule comes into being...eventhough they know exactly what they're going to be doing right now.

Reading another forum (MP Shemps forum) Lightspeedcash.com posted what they plan on doing. I'm going to signup with them because they were upfront and gave their affiliates plenty of time to make the needed adjustments. Kudos to them and I hope by the end of this week most sponsors will post similar statements.
