Yup, they moved a couple of years ago to the "buy this first video, get a new video every month" system. It is good for getting the volume up, but like poorly explained recuring billing, it can lead to chargebacks and complaints.

Basically, they got what we all saw have lived with.

It's easy to pay a 1 million dollar settlement when you have jacked people for tens of millions.

Where do I make that deal?

Exactly. I worked with a guy who ran scams and almost all got him nailed by the FTC. He would agree to pay a fine and shut the program down. His fine was usually less than 5% of what he made :awinky:

There is no doubt some people see FTC fines as a "tax" for doing business. IT is pretty sad, until there is real teeth in laws and enforcement, the cockholsters will contonue ripping people off as part of "business".
