It's only a matter of time before everything on the internet is free. There's not enough man power to monitor every resource and protect monetary rights or every web entrepreneur. For every 100 man government ran IT department working to secure our infrastructure, there's one 16 year old Russian hacker fucking everything up for them.
When I ran pay sites many moons ago, I found that a huge number of sign ups were from stolen credit cards or legit credit cards that ended up charging back and blaming their non-existent kids for the charge. And credit card companies always sided with the dickhead. We not only lost what they paid us to sign up but we also lost the processing fee and the $25 chargeback fee. It just isn't worth it anymore.
Everything that isn't a physical purchase will be free on the internet within the next couple years. Bank it.
