(You seemed to be proposing a senders pay system.) If not, of course receivers would continue to participate, they earn money under your scenario for each bit they receive! If you did mean senders, the point was that the senders don't have control because high volume legitimate non fradulent receivers would suck as much data as possible from their sites in such a way to be indistinguishable from any other legitimate use. Receivers would sit around all day thinking of fun new legitimate nonfraudlent undetectable ways to do this.
