And at least for me ... I thini there is a big difference between fine print on adult web sites and loan/bank paperwork. Surfers hit tons of sites daily that all have some kind of fine print. They just don't read them all because ther are so man. However loans don't happen every day and thats why the terms gets looked at more closely. Not the best comparison in my opinion

I do admit I don't have all the facts and I look forward to Smokey's info. Media, you know I'm down with ya bro ... just trying to figure all this shit out.
Me and you go way back man, I know where your heart is, and I hope that you know where mine is as well, I made the comparison on a loan because that is a legal binding agreement, you make an agreement when you use any software to register it, to do what it says in their terms.

I just hate the comparison of apples and oranges, terms are terms, plain and simple.

Another example:

If you get a 0% apr ballance transfer from your credit card bank you will have to pay a nominal fee up to $90 usually to transfer the funds to that card bank.. Say in the event you miss a payment due date, your APR usually shoots up to 26%-32% for your defaulted APR, this happens to so many people and they don't realize it will happen, but it is in their terms... Is this right? Shit, maybe not man... But it is clearly stated, and in the event that you don't read terms, that is sort of your own damn fault... I've had things like this happen to me before, and I take my own blame for it, I don't go on a man hunt, I should read the terms..

Another example, of the so called extorsion or ransom people are talking about...

Early Service Agreement Termination with Cell providers, usually per phone you will be charged $150 if you agree to their terms, people are buying phones every day, and they may or may not be 100% aware of this detail if they choose not to pay attention. So if you don't pay the $150 your ass gets sent to collections, you don't get your phone # ported over if you want to switch until you do... that simple...

You see what I'm saying man? This kinda shit happens all over in all forms of business, wrong or right, it's going to be in businesses...
