However, this is pretty much common knowledge and you can see where and why some folks like Peabody are averse to go in that direction. Can you exorcise more of the devil in the details? What would you say or do to prove to those folks or others interested in your services your way is the right way to go?
Not trying to corner you; just trying to give you a chance to show off skills a bit more.

I don't feel threatened
I don't see at all why Peabody doesn't collect emails and I can guarentee giving full site access for $1 or $2 or whatever is NOT the way to go for a porn site(s). Nobody is ever satisfied and they WILL most likely cancel unless you pull some shaddy shit or bang them with an unknowing cross sale.
Maybe collecting emails, direct marketing is obvious but then why SO many sites don't do it?
I do offer a FREE 3 day trial with no credit card on a mainstream site and sales immediately, I mean 4 days after implemented have doubled. It's all those little things, I give full access on that site because I need the members to use it and realize they need it. Porn, different, they don't need it. So you have to tease them, but not collecting emails first is just silly.
I did give more "valid" advice then you summed up... just re-read it ;)
