Well, she had a positive experience. But she talks about how it cannibalizes some of her other sales. Which is something others have said that they experienced (over the years) when they offered trials.

I could write at length on this issue, including the auto download programs people use on trials if you do not limit material and do upsells, or have something like strongbox in place to stop the leechers. Honestly, I am just too lazy to type it all out.

There are good and bad to both. For me, I specifically looked at certain lines that hit home more over for me. Including, how our sites are set up, versus some of the precauctions other WM's use, including the limited content/upsell option from trial to full.
