Not at all. I was just having a bit of fun with you with the last comment/insult. We try not to be too serious on this forum

I appreciate what you're saying, I just can't agree on it. Whether or not you think it's a scam to charge $3.99 a minute for porn is irrelevent. That's a decision that every surfer that uses the dialers has to make for themself. They clearly see the price per minute charge, plus the phone number that will be dialed when they launch the program. If they then still want to go ahead and connect, then they have obviously decided that they are willing to pay that price.
It doesn't matter if YOU agree that they should, it only matters if THEY agree, accept it, and then press that connect button willingly knowing what will happen.

As for policing webmasters that advertise dialers as free.. We, and all the other larger dialer companies are constantly looking out for shady webmasters. I don't know where you get the idea that we aren't on the lookout for this.
EVERY sponsor program has cheaters that are getting away with it. But that doesn't mean we aren't doing our best to stop them.
Even if a dialer is advertised as free without our knowledge, the surfer is still going to see that they are going to be charged when they fire up the software.
Even autoinstalling ActiveX dialers still show the price and phone number BEFORE the surfer clicks the connect button.

In the past, there was a reason to hate dialers. There were way too many out there that were simply ripping people off. But times have changed, and it's now just another honest way to make a living that has had a hard time getting accepted due to it's clouded past and petty reseller wars.
