Commission Junction Forced to Pay Up

This week, Commission Junction affiliates may see a little bonus in their commission check.  Last year, they settled on a class action law suit with angry publishers who were claiming to have lost money from CJ’s policy of allowing companies using Malware (Malicious Software) to promote their offers.  The settlement wasn’t all that much when you consider the amount of money that could have been potentially lost because of these tactics.  The settlement was for $1Million.  The lawyers get their cut out of that right off the top (of course).  The rest of the money is split up amongst the publishers and advertisers.  The payment is based on how much you earned between April 20, 2003 and July 22, 2008.
