You're defining capitalism, charging what the market will bear is basis of the western economy.
Using the data stored in a cloud database as you suggest would be illegal.
- tisme 14y agoIt's only illegal if you get convicted seems to be the current thinking. As far as using that data is concerned, that's not a god given right, you could easily write terms-of-service that allow just that. See Gmail.
- btilly 14y agoNo, not charging what the market will bear. Charging each customer what that customer will bear. Before claiming that it would be illegal for Oracle to use the information that it collects while running a database to figure out how much that customer can afford, I would like you to specify what exactly you consider illegal about it. If you're basing that on a vague notion that discrimination is illegal, then you're wrong. Businesses, by law, are not allowed to discriminate directly or indirectly on a set of protected classes. The standard list is race, gender, religion, national origin, and age. ANYTHING ELSE (eg evidence that you have oodles and oodles of money) is fair game.
