So it seems like a natural extension of the marketing agreement entered into when you become an affiliate.

Had D handled the situation in a professional manner that would be completely irrelevant, as would the lack of any mention in the TOS.

When he decided that he wasn't going to pay for sales from that traffic he should have immediately informed the affiliate so he could have stopped sending the traffic. Shoehorn wouldn't have been happy, but he could have simply moved to promoting something else.

Instead D did nothing and continued to accept the traffic and sales for another four months before the lack of payment was noticed. That is theft, plain and simple. I don't think D really wants any more legal problems.
