You can try anything you want, just make sure your not wrong or can handle the consequences that will eventually come down.

It's all about transaction counts. If you're doing enough valid non-chargeback type transactions each day (i.e. cheap paid trials) then you can absorb just about anything and still not hit the magic 1% level. Which is why the biggies listed here can do it without a problem. Hell Top Bucks even has two pre-checked at the moment, some poor sons a bitches get dinged with a nice $100 rebill after the 3-Day trials recur I'd imagine...yeah that's good for the industry.
Since I started this thread I've been playing with cross-sells being pre-checked and the only surfers who are leaving them in place are non-English speaking. I'm going to assume it's because they probably don't know to un-check them, which brings up an entirely different ethical discussion...
