Sure... if you run a program that depends upon affiliates for sales you want to reward them properly or they will swap your links for your competitors. Here are a couple of things that I consider theft. I am sure that other members can add to this list or debate what I have listed.
800 phone numbers on affiliate program sites that don't give credit to the affiliates who delivered the leads.
links on the program site to other sales sites where similar items can be purchased and no commission is paid.
programs such as ebates.com that detect when a browser is on a commission site and replace my commission ID for their own.
downloaded software that places ID swapping software on personal computers
You can guard against the first two of these by being observant when you sign up and vigilant afterwards. The second two are going to eat your commissions - and IMO this problem is growinig over time.
