You're wrong. Read the sources from which you copied - even the headline says "amend lawsuit".

You're not helping yourself by confusing issues and then industry-prophesizing based on skimpy knowledge and short-term exposure to the business.

Both these things happened before you were in the adult industry, or even exposed to online marketing, so you may not have the full background or history of the thing at the back of your mind.

But at least read the source before claiming you can't find both sides of the story - and find out the causes and circumstances behind the litigations.

However this in no way points to the downfall or collapse of the affiliate marketing model, while in fact the CJNetworks case if won may help refurbish affiliate marketing and turn stuff like Zango into the legal equivalent of hot potatoes - certainly people who've lost money to these types will be happy.
