The dude still pulled one off for free. An orgasm is an orgasm regardless.
The lure of Premium will always attract buyers that will shill out their hard earned cash for something percieved as superior, service, content, exclusivity, all are essential.
The same people I tend to see complaining about free are the ones I was wondering why they gave so much away before tubes came along. A lot of the programs I have seen fall away were ones that were all hype and very short on much else.
The sites that have survived and thrived, even now, are those that gave equal focus to providing a solid product to support the hype.
