Kimmy,
IPSPs already police their clients dont they? If anything this is going to make it somewhat easier (long term) for them as they will also now KNOW that an affiliate program who is serious about their business WILL be keeping a watchfull eye on their affiliate base.
Any IPSP im sure would rather work with a handful of programs that are 'tried and trusted' in making sure their affiliates are kept in check than hundreds of them that dont.

Hahaha, you live in a dream world Lee. Wake up, especially if you are an affiliate or you have anything to do with affiliates.
If you really in your wildest fantasy think that the owners of Paycom, CCBill, etc would ever consider having criminal indictments from the FTC pressed upon them as part of the normal course of doing business that they don't and can't control, then you must have thought you were getting a wisdom tooth pulled instead of a full frontal lobotomy.
There is risk managment, there is best practices, there is good business sense.
And there's not a single program out there that could by any stretch of the imagination make any of those three options a reason for staying in the affiliate business if something like this is even remotely in the cards.
You don't police affiliates, you hire employees when the consequences are such.
