Many of us have a predisposition for finding an angle. Finding an angle is, I agree, part of the joy of hacking. But you can never let ethics become a mere afterthought. You certainly can't justify unethical behavior by simply asserting you're predisposed to unethical behavior.
I totally agree. I am simply predisposed. These days I like to think I'm a little wiser, thoughtful, and empathetic than I was as a kid, so I walk things through a little more in my mind. :)
Probably against the T&C's of the affiliate program as well, where the company, reading this, might get back to you for a claw back.
At least, that's what I would consider/investigate if I was the affiliate manager.
