I would hardly call that a 'scam' it did exactly what it said it would, save us money.
Now, lets take 'ebook' and swap it for 'porn membership' for a second...
Everything you described above fits perfectly for the adult industries primary offerings, paysites offer up stuff that can be found for free anywhere, they use shitty quality videos and images to get the member to join for more, they use 'exclusive' and 'millions' and other sales verbiage to get a person to purchase a membership, how is that any different than any of thousands of ebooks, except that its 'porn' being sold, which has no intrinsic monetary value to it other than to the producer/affiliate?
Oh yeah and the chances are, when searching for porn, a surfers machine is going to be infected with Trojans, virus and there is a good possibility their credit card will get banged by one of the unscrupulous site owners in the industry... I have never had my card banged in mainstream... Ever.

Actually porn is actually more respectable and less scammy than ebooks IMO.
In your example you are comparing buying a chicken coop to building one, but the plans dont really figure into that equation. And when I say "freely available" I don't mean "stolenly available".
The whole porn == viruses is for the most part a myth as Robbie attested.
Will you also justify the free energy or magnet generator plans that used to be on clickbank and had to move to .. plimus? I think. One is zero value and one is very low value. While there are porn sites that might aspire to being that low quality my personal feeling is, most are better than that.
EDIT: Please anyone else not engaged in selling ebooks please feel free to weigh in on if you feel there are any clickbank products that you would feel OK with recommending to a family member to purchase.
