Reminds me of what happened with cable companies and "negative optioning" up here in Canada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_option_billing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_option_billing When Parliament went to ban the practice, the cable monopolies had the giant brass balls to complain that if they actually had to ask consumers if they wanted to spend money on new channels, the consumers would say "no," which would hurt the television industry. Whereas if they could just start charging money and force consumers to pick up the phone and cancel the service, well, people wouldn't do that. Appalling, and it seems to be the same mentality at work.
