Agreed!! - You make such a good point. I have decided this long ago since being burned by a real shaddy group.
So yeah - allot of affiliates are doing this now. Many that I talk to are fed up of being scammed or not paid. So its time for protection.
Just reading the forums day in day out - and knowing the fact you and your brother almost lost a big 16K a while back has to put fear into you
Anyways I glad to see many of my affiliate friends taking on this idea. It is certainly required for all new brands in my eyes. Even some established ones.
I am kind of shocked really that this program may fold into the gutter. CJ was a very active member and well respected. Just got his GPWA approval sponsorship done. Met with JTODD in Costa Rica. Joined the GAU.
A real great active person - i cant see how they are going bust

?
Unless the owners have decided to run off like most do in that region it seems.
I heard all you need to do is pay the cops $10 bucks and your free. YIKES!!
I hope they stick around - i liked CJ and his stuff - was thinking of joining but am glad i held off...
My instincts were right from the start!
