Getting rid of the trial membership is dumb IMO. If someone wants to rip your site they will do it at $29.95 and then charge it back . IF you do away with the trial memberships now you are really forcing people to go look for it free. If people can get a membership for 2.95 they will likely do it. If their only option is 29.95 I bet more of them will say fuck it and try to find it for free.
