Brazzer will likely get hit hard by this whole Master Card deal because it's likely Visa will be following their lead and we can only hope they do it internationally.
So by instanly cutting out xsales like this you are just out right stopping a hughe part of their profits. That means they will have to act fast to replace that revenue and it's unlikely they can do it any time soon.
So IMO it's starting to look like maybe 2009 will be a good year for legit affiliates because we will once again be a commodity that is needed to mantain a program.

Don't let AFF fool you with the " rouge affiliates" in 90%++ of the cases it was AFF the company paying to be on these shit sites and not some affiliate.
As far as cross sales you can still do them if you use the same processing company. If you ccbill you can do a cross sale with another ccbill site. A lot of these companies use merchants that some other companies use, so they can still cross sale them.
If they can't find anyone on the same merchant all they going to do is cross sale themselves. So the little guys who live off of cross sales only will be screwed in this case unless they start using the same merchant as the big boy they want to get cross sales from. The big companies that get lots of new sales will still do cross sales they will just cross sale their own sites. Take Dee for example, he owns what 20 different programs? According to Mastercard rules he can do cross sales to his other sites and still accomplish the same goal and it would be no different to the end customer than it is now.
(at least this is the way I understand it to work).
