Give me a break. You look at the tour and see what they are offering. Look at the sign-up page and see the prices for what they advertised in that tour.

How can anyone justify also charging for things that were not in the tour, and also not mentioned on the sign-up page?

Sure, you can say they should read the terms. But the fact of the matter is that scam-like porn sites are the ONLY sites online (adult or mainstream) where extra charges are hidden in the TOS.

What would happen to Amazon.com if they hid a $35/mo membership to the Jelly of the Month Club in their TOS, and the vast majority of customers had no idea it was there?

Same type of thing, and anyone doing it is scum.
i know you're not saying i am because i haven't said a thing about whether or not these items should be hidden in the tos...

thats a whole different can of worms than suing because someone is too stupid to read.
