They can do anything they want with the traffic they generate themselves, but if I'm sending the traffic via a revshare agreement, then pay me my fair share.

Just food for thought, Toby. If I refer you to a car dealer, I prolly get a few hundred bucks or some percentage of the sticker price of that car. Am I now entitled to a percentage of all the upgraded tires and spit shines he sells as well as a piece of the next deal he makes when he trades it in?
For the sake of argument, doesn't a referral kind of end with the introduction, hand shake and initial purchase? This in the real world. I have received "bonuses" for client referrals in the film business, but that was for the introduction. The referral fees paid in porn are astronomical compared to any other business.
How many industries have cookies that run deeper than that intro? Perhaps that is part of the reason this system is broken at the moment.
Not breaking anyone's balls here, but I kinda see both sides of this referral coin and believe me this has nothing to do with scumbag cross sales.
