I agree with Labret but maybe this technology could be used responsibly... remember 30 minutes is the least amount of time you can set this up for...

Consider this example... You give the surfer trial access for 3 hours. Now he can't complain about not having enough time to cancel... Surely he has enough time to review the site in 3 hours -- it's fair... Most likely he will take his time looking at the site -- jerk off -- fall asleep... now if he's poor he thinks ok I'll set my fucking alarm so I can cancel within 2 hours 30 minutes just to be safe so that leaves him 2 hours to sleep... alarm goes off... snooze button... snooze button... LOL

I'm sure there will be a sweet spot -- 6 hours, 9 hours...? You never know until you test it... Since I get most signups at night it seems like that would be an important factor -- maybe a 12 hour trial would work great -- maybe the surfer will plan -- "ok I'll get up early and cancel before I go to do X in the morning" -- LOL he will forget or his gf/wife won't understand the urgency of a porno membership being more important than her and XYZ...
