Haha, McAfee site adviser comments on http://www.flixster.com/...

"It does not tell you what is happening and asks you for sensitive information. It then sends an email to all of your contacts with out you knowing. It is a privacy invasion!"

and...

"This service sends out FAKE invitations that pretend to come from your e-mail participants who have unwittingly signed up.
Opinions from the WOT network indicate that this domain is suspicious.
The Cloudmark anti-fraud/phishing toolbar blocks access to this domain."


So you have fun with that POS you cheap bastard.

I'm not paying full price for one feature that used to be free, I'd rather go to alternative software or build my own personal database that can output the data to the web.

Let me see if I understand this correctly.  You want the owners to give you something for nothing.  And if they refuse, you're going to take you business elsewhere and give someone else your nothing?

I'm not really seeing any incentive for them to change their policy here.

Exactly, it's not that $30 is a of lot money for an unlimited period. I pay more for my internet connection each month.

Let's talk about the things other software can -
on flixster the have ratings divided for all, male and female or only my friends -
this would be a good feature for dvdprofiler too.
Another nice feature on flixster: the community aspect - here we only have our forum -
and -sadly- all online critics are without text ....

Or let's discuss a "light membership" - where you can use big collections but no hi-res scan for maybe 10.-/15.-$

I agree with "Thou shalt not stall travellers." - but these travellers and there friends won't come back ...

IIRC Profiler never had a true 'free' version until 3.0 - back as IVS it was more of a sponsored mode as there were ads within the program and online which couldn't be properly disabled w/o a premium key.
I suppose this was removed from 3.x either because Ken & Geri didn't like that route for some reason, or perhaps the supporting code was owned by one of the other IVS members and wasn't included in the deal (I recall Ken Meade seemed responsible for the upkeep of the Price Search element, perhaps it was related to that module.) Or maybe ads & click-through commisson never generated enough revenue to warrant the administrative work.

A "light" features pricing is an interesting idea, though I wonder if it's overcomplicating things here... after all, this isn't a recurring cost like a subscription, or has additional fees for upgrade revs (as many vendors require.)  A one time of $30USD doesn't seem that much for such a product, IMO.  Though if it could be shown that there was enough interest in a 'Light' version, maybe Ken's interest might be piqued to develop it - since the free version as currently exists generates no cash or database improvement.
