Heres the thing....
Lets say the industry pulled together as a group and did something simple -- like got rid of trials and cross sells. Full, reasonably priced memberships only.
Of course this would mean affiliate payments would need to go down across the board as well. But this would be accepted by the webmasters, because we are all pulling together in harmony.
And well.. now that there are no more trials and cross sells, I'm sure that somebody in some other country wouldn't decide "heeey I can be the only person with trials and make a killing!"... and then it would all start again.
The problem with this industry is that if there is money to be made... no matter how unethical or immoral, someone somewhere is going to do it.
Of course that's not to say that everyone is bad
... most people I know are pretty decent actually. But my 60 year old aunt really insn't interested in animal sex.. or unsolicited sexual offers at all for that matter.
If we were all working for like shiney pieces of tin foil and glass marbles, I'm sure everything would be different & the industry would be able to live in harmony.
Now come back to reality and pretend like you have $10M+ hanging out there at risk from the past 7-10 years of business... what would you do?
Like I said.. if it were me, I'm going to make a deal, curse the shit out of the company, and support the IMPA so that I hopefully will not have to continue to license technology that has been unclaimed for the past 10+ years.
