I have no problem with the business side of it.

BUT, as a webmaster who runs a site aimed earning the trust of my audience, shouldn't I have the right to disclose this info without being canned? If I keep my mouth shut, then my users will question my intentions.

p.s. I have yet to advertise this to my users, and am worried I'd get terminated if I did.
Well, you're getting paid per signup and you've already been paid...so the site wants to maximize that member, if it means saving a member to give them a discount, what's wrong with that? God forbid a site should make a proift, huh? Advertising that would be stupid, it would make that surfer worth less money.

Why should you have the RIGHT to disclose anything? The surfer is not YOUR customer, the surfer (once they sign up) is the site's customer. The paysite is YOUR customer.
