Yup - private companies/app makers can do as they please. You consented to them doing as they wish.

The choice is simple, if you don't like it, just stop using the app. There are probably tons of alternatives.

However, there is a license, and this goes both ways.

Or would you consent to the statement, "Yup, users are private individuals and can pirate software as they please. The developer has consented to this by publishing the software."?
