Try to have own paysite and you will see that most of your owner's sales will be the direct ones. It is funny to read those who doesnt care. This situation is extremely serious and will affect the biz a lot! Sales are poor due to much free stuff around and now they will go to zero for most of you affiliate-guys. This shit will affect your sales MUCH MUCH more than all tube sites together! Impulse buys happen not so often as you are "blind" thinking

I'm not sure how your argument supports what you are saying.
You are right. A lot of people DO surf at work and then come home and buy a membership later that night. So a cookie doesn't help in any way at all in that scenario. The cookie is on the machine at work. Not the one at home. We don't cookie actual human beings. lol Just a computer.
So in the scenario you just described...having the cookie removed on the work computer that day will make NO impact at all on the guy going home and typing the site in. So what's the point you're trying to make?
I, and many others, routinely clear our cookies. Firefox prompts you to "clear all data" when you shut the browser down. And I've cleared them for years with I.E. because I have kids in the house and just try to keep my history and cookies off of any machine I may use in my home.
