Completely agree. If somebody wants to signup for your service as [email protected] and [email protected] let them. Two distinct user accounts.

If you wanted to continuously have free trials it is trivially easy to just create entirely new email adresses

yeah, i paid less than a dollar for a super cheap domain, and created a catch-all email forwarder that lets me create any random email forwarding address that all forwards to my one email. i've used this method in the past to get unlimited free things at certain establishments that offer welcome gifts to new rewards accounts.
