Okay #1 misconception, the sites do not cost $7 a minute to access, the highest rates are in the UK and they run $1.70 a minute for access, most countries fall between .10-.30 a minute for access making the average 8-10 minute call cheaper than a trial for most surfers.

#2. There are MANY MANY regulations on dialers, there's no auto-installing, there's call timers on the desktop with a calculator showing how much the user has spent.


Dialers have gotten a bad rap in the past, but people have raped credit cards just as hard if not HARDER. Need I remind anyone of the programs that billed surfers over $140 for a "free" trial. The dialers of today are nothing like the wild west dialers that used to run rampant on the Internet, they're highly regulated and an effective means to garner income from countries with less than ideal credit card solutions.

Yeah right. And all the spam I get every day is from me opting in.
