Hi TPN,

You really need to put this into perspective to be fair.

If you have one site, they charge $149 per year. At average ticket price of $30, your one site would need to generate 5 joins to pay for this.

For 10 sites, they charge $300 per year which works out to $30 per site. At average ticket price, this would mean you would need to generate 1 join per site per year to pay for this.

In your case, having 80+ sites, they are charging you circa $15 per site per year which equates to 1/2 a join per site to make it pay for itself.

Of course there's the alternative you took - forget about JWPlayer and go for a completely free solution.
