The discussion in the other thread was regarding content. It is your opinion that unless one is using Paul Markham quality content, they were ripping off the consumer.

This can hardly be placed in the same category as installing spyware on someone's computer.

Yes, it is bad to fuck with the surfer. It hurts all of us.

No, buying content at $300 instead of $600 is not is not fucking with the surfer.

What if I bought all your most expensive content, then put it on a site loaded with toolbars, and prechecked cross sales . . . .would you feel the same way then?

What the hell does the quality of the content have to do with whether or not the surfer is going to get screwed?

No I am asking

Has the way we have treated the surfer for the last 10 years has helped or harmed you?

Lazonby, I agree with some of the things you say. But if you do not understand WHY PEOPLE BUY any product, it's very hard to sell to them. Yes you can copy the successful ones, but do you know what to copy and why they are successful?

Short term thinkers who don't know how to deliver and market one of the easiest products in the world to sell. Contrary to beliefs of some, porn is not hard to sell.
