a. ask someone with legal knowledge who can review it themselves or if you have a good level of understanding, read the laws and decipher them yourself; or

b. find someone involved who already has taken that step, and can validate any of your doubts.

c. buy in for $40, secure a spot, and if you determine it's a scam (through the proper legal resources) you lose $40....With this method, you don't look like a jackass if you are proven wrong and can build a nice network and reserve a spot. Personally, $40 is nothing to prove or disprove something for me, and since I actually was with the guys before launch, I give it my full endorsement.

I'm sure you can find other leaders of our industry INVOLVED already who would be willing to explain in further detail. I have tried, but obviously it's like a lynch mob in here if it threatens what anyone else may be doing or if they don't understand.
ok i'm gonna put myself on blast for a moment to make a point.

for a good portion of my teen years, i was an "amway kid". my parents were heavily vested into amway (more time than money), which many know is (or was) one of the biggest legal MLMs/pyramids/whatchamacallits out there. we had the soaps and all that now luckily, my parents didn't do anything crazy like quit their day jobs or take out 3 mortgages to become "diamond level". and to make a long story short, they eventually walked away from it with pretty much what they had when they went in.

my point? i already have a pretty good idea of how it works. i doubt that changing up the grids & matrices will significantly change the way it works. no one can even show a grid lol. and to be honest, even if you do have the magic formula, i wouldn't do it for one main reason: mlm's, legal or illegal, have a bad rap. and this industry does not need more bad light. it's difficult as it is.

....and even STILL, i expect some people to jump on something like an mlm, because it looks like easy money. so i'm not bothered by people in general trying to get rich from it. people thing tossing up a blog = instant riches too. i guess i just expected more from the adult webmaster community (don't laugh).

the sheepiness is still fun to watch though
