- To continue the gun analogy above, if I sell someone a gun and they go kill someone with it, it is not my responsibility. BaDoink is merely another P2P software, enabling people to connect to P2P networks and share files, but that has a more 'porn' theme to it. They do charge for access, but do also distribute LICENSED content on their servers to help start the surfer off in finding what he wants.

- For the point about a tricky cross-sell to another trial, from what I see on the page it looks pretty standard and straight-forward to me:

Special Offer For New Members Only!
Sign me up for a 3 day trial Membership to www.adultmovienetwork.com for $1.00. After 3 days, Membership renews automatically at $29.95 every 1 month. Terms and Conditions


- I agree though they should offer up full month subscriptions as an option right away, but that's their choice and business model. If it were me, I'd have the 1-month be $29.95 for example and the trial, $1.00 but rebill at a higher rate like $34.95 or $39.95 - thus you entice people to sign up straight for the full month, which makes your affiliates more money quickly plus in my experience reduces chargebacks/cancels.

- I also agree with Sticky, protecting your stuff isn't that hard, so if you all put the effort into that you do into dissecting programs you might make yourself more money

Ive actually been studying how mainstream is delivering their content. If you look at that myspace vod for fox the video stream changes depending upon connection speed. There are ways to grab the stream, but none that are too easy. With broadband being the prevalent connection to the internet for a large amount of the population, and with HD becoming more and more of a sellign factor for sites, its time to do away with the old, and start pushing some barriers.
