How delightful to see that our replies here were good for some LOLs !!
Rationalization ??
Several thoughts pop into mind immediately...
1st - all of commerce/finance/economy is ONLY that to start with - stuff that folks dreamed up, that gets changed on whims, and that other folks follow and chase for their own imagined 'betterment'.
2nd - What I follow instead is much simpler, like so=>
First do no harm.
3rd - As soon as beezlebub gates invented the EULA, and later UCITA gave it the force of corporate legality, I quit forever abiding by that BS and highly recommend that chosen course of action to any and everyone.
As to this assertion:
Quote:...potential income in the future. piracy takes the very reason that someone endeavors to be in business.
Many times it has been shown to be an incorrect conclusion - that so-called 'piracy' actually does more good in promoting stuff which otherwise would not be known about, and finally, the assertion again points to something imaginary in conclusion - which is how 'lost profits' get rationalized by the bean counters to justify their employments.
I can tell more about what I've done to go against 'the system', but choose to keep that private as my satisfaction relates to 'bad' stuff which helped many, many folks and my choices have brought me gratitude from others and happiness in my own ways - which is all enough for me.
Finally - this indeed is a BH forum and I am happy to be here too, BUT:
I have neither desire nor intent to bring harm to others by openly lying and selling them useless krap KNOWINGLY - which is what I've tried to describe in my replies as best I am able to.
Peace out.

Haha... Just stringing non nonsensical words together to fill up a post is not a rebuttal. My point is still the same. Nothing here is even close to a reasoned argument in response.
P.S., I have no need for your superstitions listed in your third point.
Your final paragraph I agree with completely. Thanks again for the discussion.

I will admit I have been slightly naughty at times but Google punished me severely for my then wicked ways.
I enjoy the risk, but then again I don't hurt anyone.
I have mountains of PLR and sort out what I can do with it, most gets binned but so much gets rewritten or I send it out to be done for me, then I give it away for free.
I can take someone else's junk and turn it into a good product because I have the experience and knowledge to do that.
But I do like the easy option at times if there is such a thing, sometimes there is.

Everyone is all about presenting bonuses that are so good / great in number that people buy the product just to get the bonus.
That's all this is. The only difference is you're leading with / pre-selling / pitching the bonus, then (as someone else said above) bait and switching the reader to get them to buy *insert affiliate product here* in order to get your bonus.
The key is still traffic. The idea that your blog will start to organically rank for long tail KWs isn't necessarily bogus...but it's not necessarily valid, either. Hell, when you look at some of the terms Bishop says his blog posts are ranking for...just how many people are *actually* searching for them?
None of the gurus are using what they teach! He made 3000 sales of his product and must have earned 10-15k after split wth affiliates, now it is for people who purchased to test and suffer and not make a penny! Nobody is going to share a method that makes them 100 a day consistently, why would they
So you're still gonna run into the same kinda issue as before if you don't already have a big name or following - getting eyeballs on your offer.

Given that my professional work in IT started before that happened and I've personally witnessed the events I referred to, it becomes clear that the actual history and origins of the PC realm are either unknown, or being denied.
Either way is of no consequence to me as I was there and the actual history backs up my clear remembrances.
