ecchi, I didn't say his point was invalid.

Paul, there's nothing wrong with content providers voicing their opinion, but you aren't really discussing an issue, you're advertising. Nothing wrong with that either, but then don't be surprised when people don't buy your arguments because your words are agenda-driven.

You're not really succeeding in building trust with this thread. You refuse to look at free content/traffic issue from all sides. Ultimately, the choice between free/bought content depends on who you promote and how you promote them.

You make a sweeping generalization that ultimately leads to the convenient conclusion -- everyone should buy content, specifically your content. Your last few posts are nothing but "Have I got a deal for you!" I just don't buy it.
