In fact according to Kris Jones the controversy was taking place during Affiliate Summit and maybe even during Jason’s keynote address. I find this to be very ironic. I was quiet strong critic of Calacanis’ keynote speech. However, listening to podcast I now can say that I took a lot of what Jason said out of the content.

In his speech Jason mentioned how the Internet was looked at as a “plain leveled field”; a great opportunity for anyone to succeed. Every one was equal, opportunities were wide open and the sky was the limit.

So how does it look for a perspective of a “nobody”. And by nobody I mean myself. Because when I look at both CJ and PepperJam, I feel like I am less than nobody.

I wonder how soon will the “Goliaths” begin to demand “exclusivity” of affiliates? Seriously. Imagine if one network would ask you to either work with them exclusively or get out. Would you feel like you are on a “plain leveled field”?
