How could you not care about the surfer?
If you fuck them over and they NEVER buy porn online again, then guess what, you've succeeded in damaging this industry. The post you quoted was about "cleaning this industry up". Create a thread on a mainstream forum, you will shocked at how many people have been fucked over in the past and refuse to ever buy porn online again.

how is it insignificant when the average n00b surfer already knows how to download mp3s and porn?

I'm saying watch how insignificant it can be when you lose the trust of the few people that still buy porn regardless of file sharing and free loading. Yeah, it sucks that free loaders exist, but that doesn't mean you become ruthless and take it out on the entire market. That's like the music industry saying, "fuck, everyone is downloading music, quick, lets punch everyone who buys a CD in the nose and add a tax".

we are in changing times my friends globally companies have started to corner each and every market. with unlimited bank and govt support there is nothing to stop them. as you sit here and think these merchants are affecting your business the corps of the world are raping your "surfer" left right and center. learn where to point the finger for once.
i pray to god some of these guys make it to the top. regulations are only for the small guy never forget that.

You can add pre-checked cross sales, or you can just add trial memberships that automatically rebill at full price unless canceled. Yeah, you will probably do well for yourself, but it will hurt this industry. You think once that surfer gets royally fucked he's ever going to buy porn online again?
I agree, that times are changing. This industry has declined, yes partly due to file sharing and tubes, but also because of all the shady practices that have been doing on for decades in this industry. It's finally caught up with us.
