so.....why does that make what amounts to stealing $X from the users ok?

kudos to companies cutting their losses and walking away. hats off to those who can innovate and actually get users to pay $X legitimately.

i have a real problem with people thinking they can force a user into something he doesn't want. if he's not going to pay, then either acknowledge that you're giving him a free lunch or walk away.
