password protected files + cpa surveys?

I was checking out some cpa tuts on the internet and found that people are password protecting video,mp3,software(all copyrights material) and blocking the password with gateways. Blocking warez is not allowed, but it's fine to protect passwords right?

Is any one really making money using this method?

thats a great idea, go for it

If you want to do the same to your products using gateways then you need to apply to c p a l e a d. They use survey gateways. You get paid when people answer the survey.

I am on cp4 l34d, but i don't think they will allow something like this. You know, sometimes people rarely do what they preach.

it is one of the oldest trick in the book

i did this with ShareCash back then and it worked like a charm, in my experience the conversion increased +50% if i used this tactic instead of the simple locking w/o password
it also worked/works? very well on public torrent sites

answering to your question i'd say that the method is allowed, the illegal content what is not
