    It is against TOS for every affiliate program and you will be banned from the program if you are caught.

    Since you are dealing with a contract you agree to and money is at stake, any serious cookie stuffing might be considered fraud, as you are unlawfully attempting to gain commissions.

    In general, you will merely be banned for this practice. But if thinking it is illegal will stop you from this practice, go ahead and think so. It is certainly unfair to legitimate affilates.

    It's loading affiliate url's and taking a commission when the web user goes to the site next to buy something...

    Yes it's illegal, why do you think the owner of this forum is getting sued for it... it's fraud plain and simple. The reason that legal action isn't taken on people like you guys is that it would cost more to sue you than a company would get back for damages or loss of revenue or whatever.

    Not the forum, but Digitalpoint Solutions Inc as a whole seems Digitalpoint was cookie stuffing with some of their software products.

    Wow I read that... Incredible...

    Who would have ever thought? Well what do they so nicely say over in the US, innocent until proven guilty?

    Then let's not jump to conclusions just yet ;)

    If you have someone like ebay on filing a law suit against you then you must be quilty of something, they wouldn't risk their reputation over it!
