Foolish Pleasure and Handride have excellent posts concerning the fatuous and edacious policies at Brisnet. Worth a read.
The TBA, as a result of the efforts of these two people, has provided free PP's for the past few months. They obtained them from trainer sites that already paid whatever it is they paid, so Brisnet was not hurt in any way by this process. These PP's, by the way, are still available on the respective trainer sites and are still free. The TBA homepage has links to these sites so you can still go there and get all this information. What you can't do is get it all in one place. Wouldn't want the customer to have ready access to your product and perhaps contribute to your bottom line.
In a time when handle is down and every wager helps the industry, Brisnet has dipped into the seemingly infinite well of moronic, group think, to block access to this source. Pathologically short sighted, they block access to a product, already available, in hopes they can squeeze an already spent consumer.
As PtP states, twenty years from now, this will be a case study for MBA students, in just how stupid the industry managers were.

I totally agree that they are really hurting themselves on this. I think it would be an excellent idea to just put up where the trainers that are offering the free pp's on a site and list the races that are available from them on it.
I just think it is plain dumb to do such a thing since you can already get these for no cost already. They need to knock it off and I hope that they learn from them when they lose sales as a result. They need to create a website themselves by listing the free ones possibly and then advertise that you can have the other items on their site and they would make more from it. Let's hope that they will do this.
