    Default Getting Sued

    Do affiliates get sued much? If so, what have you been sued for and what are the best ways to stay protected?

    I don't think affiliates get sued too much...

    main things:

    Content Theft
    Copyright Violation
    Spam

    ...probably others

    Ive been doing this for 8 years, never been close to being sued.
    Just don't do cause others civil damage...you will have no liability.

    Oh, I am not a lawyer. I am an uneducated man. This should not be construed as legal advise.

    I was always curious why people say this.

    What does it matter if you are a lawyer or not. Even if he thinks you are and takes your advice, it's not like he can do anything to you.

    He could sue me...


    But really I think I include it to help people remember to think for themselves.

    the best way to be protected is to have a lawyer on retainer who knows what you do and what the risks are.

    whether that should be your first concern as an affiliate is another question.
