As far as I can tell it's delivering almost all the functionality in the single javascript file except for the geocoding so you could host the js file (http://www.visitorjs.com/visitor.js) on your own server and get 90% of the functionality for free.

Also, as far as I can tell, Apple provides nearly all of the functionality of Pages in a single .app file, so you could make as many copies for your company as you want for free.

I believe the JS is generated, as shown in this snippet:

geo:{continentCode:"AS",continentName:"Asia",countryCode:"MY",countryName:"Malaysia",city:"Kuala Lumpur"...

Agree...

There's a free API for geolocation too:

Anyway this project has no future, sorry for that.
