Im simply pointing out that unless you are willing to remove every single negative billing option from a paysite then those people are already "fucking the surfer" somehow... it's just a matter of where they draw their line.

I'm not taking any high roads here
Priceless.

I have to agree with you here (bolded). Surfers will rip you off anyway they can. It's really the loyal rebilling customers who are e-mailing you every month you need to concern yourself with.

When you think about a "surfer" they are literally drinking from your open tap in the backyard. Getting free shit off your dime (i.e. bandwidth). Or they are one of these who join your site, and try and rape with with one of those full download programs (unless you have them blocked) and then try and chargeback.

Fuck the surfer!
