CPC might be on the way out, but the people who are pulling shady deals now will get blacklisted at least by the big names (er... Google) and then they'll be left to fend for themselves. It's better to take your bumps and learn your lessons, to eventually make some good money the right way, rather than try and scam them by clicking your ads a few extra times.

Better that we all keep it clean to keep a healthy marketplace! As we speak I'm writing more algorithms to prevent click fraud ;) There's more to it than IPs, and there's also many other legal aspects to be considered as well... it's not just all about code.
