Many programs offer single billing as an alternative to recurring. (Mainstream companies use xsales, but they observe consumer rights as long as they are not located in seedy offshore locations)
Of course I'm not talking about normal rebills here. They are clearly marked. I'm talking about once a customer forgets he joined your site, as many of them do. It doesn't matter what he once read, he has now forgotten and the site owners will take every penny he has until he gets wise to it again. That is what I'm talking about. Forgotten rebills.

I've yet to talk to a webmaster who is willing to cancel any rebill where the user has not logged into the site in over 30 or 60 days. None of us would do that. Not one. But that's being just as sneaky as well placed x-sales if you ask me.
