Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An affiliate is a commercial entity with a relationship with a peer or a larger entity. A corporation may be referred to as an affiliate of another when it is related to it but not strictly controlled by it, as with a subsidiary relationship, or when it is desired to avoid the appearance of control. This is sometimes seen with companies that need to avoid restrictive laws (or negative public opinion) on foreign ownership. For the concept as exercised in the North American broadcasting industry see network affiliate.
