The way I look at it it isn't "for nothing". I sent that sale to them under terms which stated I would get a cut for all rebills for life and I expect them. Who is to say they would have that customer in the first place if I didn't send them to them? I promote a lot of obscure niches and there are a few sites which I know for a fact most of the customers I send would have never found them. And when they first started I also know for a fact that I sent them over 50% of their signups and most of their traffic for the first year. There's no way I will tolerate someone taking my rebills under these circumstances.
