I don't see any difference to this compared to the ARS Build Your Own Tour system. You create an affiliate program with sites in it, determine what you're gonna pay your webmasters and find somewhere to sell those members too. There's probably 20+ companies doing this right now. Is it a bad idea? Well yes and no, no because maintaining massive members areas can become quite expensive. Yes because you have no control over your numbers and don't know how many actual processing attempts you're getting, thus you have to rely on the Babenet backend to be your stats program as the webmaster program. Thus creating 2 possible links where signups can fall through the cracks. As far as it destroying our industry I see a lot worse things coming from companies not using them for a backend. I've used several of the programs using them for backend processing and noticed fairly consistent sales.
