Zedge comes to mind. A site for buying ringtones (among other things like notification tones and wallpapers) or at least barred you from downloading the "premium" ones without subscription.

Oh my fucking god, memories of that scam service "Jamba" flooding back. It was like two years in a row of Crazy Frog ads for it.

I don't understand how Zedge still exists, and is apparently doing relatively well too

There will always be tech un-savvy people who prefer to pay for something (and have someone to call when it doesn't work) than have to spend 5 minutes learning how to do it themselves.
