Commission Junction Sued

Jake Michaels
A class action suit has been brought against affiliate marketing giant ValueClick, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Commission Junction, Inc., and Be Free (collectively called "ValueClick").

The class action claims that ValueClick has engaged in breach of contract, negligence and unfair business practices. The suit states that ValueClick has failed to maintain adequate monitoring and prevention of third-party hijacking and theft of commissions owed to legitimate affiliates of CJ.

Hijackers were able to successfully steal commissions from legitimate affiliates by using software such as adware.

The lawsuit alleges that ValueClick knowingly turned a blind eye to such commission theft and transaction fraud, because they stood to benefit financially by "looking the other way".
