most sponsors pay lawyers to write their terms to make sure they are both legal and enforceable.

and come on - if i have a term that says you can't send traffic from a page with illegal content on it, and specify you cannot have cp, do you honestly think i should pay you for sales from a page with illegal content and cp on it? it can harm my company legally - potentially costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars - and can harm the company's rep since people who see that page is linked to our site will associate us with that content. a person who links to a site from a page like that is doing more damage than the sales are worth.

Id be interested to Chads view on that.
