true, but if you do sequential for users and free trials, the information leakage can be close to zero. Think about if all those AOL CDs were sequentially numbered.

That's not zero information leakage. That's just leaking another statistic that is somewhat correlated to the one you want to hide (you're leaking the production of trial AOL CDs, and production of trial AOL CDs have some correlation to number of new users).
