The fact that iDefense is doing it as well doesn't make it any less weak a model.

It may be quite workable when you're the only company doing it - but if another
company starts doing it as well, you end up with a price war likely to take out
at least one of the competitors.

If nothing else, the presence of competition will likely soon tell us what the
*real* value of an exploit is, as opposed to what iDefence has been paying :)
