I would dismiss such lawsuits and their plaintiffs as strange and persnickety if it weren't for... Here in Australia, where the ads haven't been introduced yet, I got a notification from Amazon prompting to change to a yearly subscription because of the money I'd save. They've never prompted me thusly before. I don't care about the extra dollars for ad free. It's just like raising the price of a service - which happens all the time. And what's more, it certainly WOULD benefit me to switch to yearly, which I never got around to doing. But it's hard to avoid the conclusion that Amazon is trying to lock people into year long contracts right before they change the terms. The deliberateness of THAT intent, the willingness to just so blatantly pinch from the pocket of the unwary - even if it's only a few bucks. That PISSES ME OFF. Now I love capitalism - the right to own the sweat off your brow that stokes the competitive fires! It's the air we breathe. But these hyper-capitalist a-holes that would steal a cent if you just blink for a second... Goddamn. What makes these people? That drop of sweat, that they didn't earn, joins the billions of others in a torrent of wealth being syphoned of the regular folk on a daily basis. And the world is growing parched. So I salute the persnickety and fastidious Sir Wilbert Napoleon and everything he represent. I hope he wins.
