I think this is exactly true. And what happens to this guy when more and
more people start finding out that they have paid money for something they
could have gotten for free?

The guy is building his business on a charade ... and that is a hard thing
to keep up long term.  He has to spend a large percentage of his time
maintaining his charade, covering his tracks, etc.  I can't even remember my
own forum password half the time ... and this guy has to remember a bunch of
user names and passwords.  He probably has sticky notes all over his
monitor.  Maybe he's really good at that sort of thing and will have some
leeching success, but it's a shaky business model that could come crashing
down around him at any time.  He's always going to be looking over his
shoulder ... hoping he doesn't inadvertently swindle the wrong person in the
wrong country ... hoping the major publications don't catch on to him ...
hoping if something does go wrong he can duck into the shadows and re-emerge
somewhere else ... reality has a way of catching up with these guys
eventually.
