What is so hard to understand here?

The problem is not really that anyone wants to _DECEIVE_ the surfer... but if a _WEBMASTER_ tells surfers SPECIFICALLY that they should just signup for the free trial, they can cancel it again anyway and won't be charged, then the _WEBMASTER_ is _DECEIVING_ the _PROGRAM_. Don't you guys see that?

Its like sending people into a store and getting a referral fee for sales and telling the people they should just go and buy something and give it back the next day and get their money back. Of course people might KNOW they can do that, but you are deceiving by moving your number of sales UP.

This kind of practice is illegal in any kind of market and is in most market's TOS. Go to any non-adult advertiser.
