It's a pity - but I would say that his very restrictive access policy hurt his business tremendously. I wouldn't go through the process as required to even LOOK at some of the content for sale. I know that content providers don't want to be free sites with tons of users cruising around but if I can't even see generally what you are selling without handing over personal info (and requiring that info to match whois records? HELLO?)... me thnks his business practices limited his potential somewhat.
