.htaccess protection has to be worth installing because it will trap many existing installs. But it would be naive to believe that scumware providers aren't working to stay ahead of the curve.

It would be equally naive to believe that somehow closing down Zango or even all the current flock of scumware providers would make such problems go away. So long as we tolerate unethical people in our business, someone will always be ready to provide them with the tools to help them cheat.

The only way to deal effectively with issues like this is to make it worth more to bigger operators to work honestly. There will always be scammers around, but if they are relegated to the sidelines, then by definition they will have little impact.
