AP: Part of the reason I disbelieve your statement that these people don't believe what they're saying is because of your misinformation regarding specifics like this. You seem to be saying that if people visit these sites, the owners of the site gets paid money from their "host" (ISP, I assume). Because these ISP's are paying these sites, other people's internet costs go up. This makes absolutely no sense. ISP's don't pay sites for getting visitors to go to the site. There's no incentive to do so. The only paying method that I've seen, and I haven't seen everything, is where you get paid based on clicking ads.
If this is the kind of information you gleaned from the show, I'm doubting the show's basis in fact or your particular interpretation of what you saw.
