It's pretty simple...

Legitimate trial (NetFlix): 1 month free to test out the service. You decide to stay a member you get exactly what the trial gave you. Then you have options to upgrade and pay more.

Not legitimate trial (Brazzers and according to this thread a ton of other porn sites): 1-3 day limited trial, which they dont tell you, and the real terms are buried in the terms of service (maybe). Then only if you upgrade to the full price do you actually get full access which was promised on the tour.
i would not go that far

i don't have an issue with a limited trial/streaming only /whatever you want to limit piracy solution as long as you disclose it on your tour

like netflix did

honest is the issue not weather one type of trial is valid or not.

doc right trials mean different things to different people

if you sell them with a download the movie, watch the full movie on the tour
and you link to a page that list a trial open but doesn't allow you to download/watch that particular movie

you are selling one thing and delivering another

which is the point

because if the customers really didn't feel cheated as thedoc keeps claiming telling them upfront about the limits wouldn't hurt your conversions at all

the only reason he doesn't do it is because he knows that it would.
