Not many as they were not ripping cards for 300-500 bucks on a $1 trial
Those programs were never hurt by the tubes as they ran solely by ripping off their clients....less signups, well lets just kick up the illigal xsales

MC/Visa finally put a stop to that and they died off, some becourse they could not pay their bills, others as they could not pay affiliates and therefor died slowly anyways.

Im saying the same thing as you and i agree with the rest of your comments.
But saying that a lot of free content is the sole reason is just plain wrong, that would mean surrendering to something you can do absolutely nothing about so lets just close shop right now!

70% of my livelyhood is selling content in one form or another, and im doing twice the amount of business if not more between January 2008 till this day.
Now why is that?
Surely not becourse i gave up
