When I first went streaming...I went streaming only. PROTECTED streaming. I immediately had about 20 members write me cursing me out and they quit.

I was scared to death...I thought I had really fucked up.

But then...that was it. Everybody else was perfectly happy.

And after a couple of months of rebills going good and new sales still strong, I still had a couple of thousand members. No drop in numbers of rebills or new sales.

I then realized that those 20 that went off on me in the beginning...were probably the motherfuckers who were stealing my shit to begin with.
