    This sounds like an exam question. What sort of ego trip are you on?

    I'm glad that you're now concerned about ethics though, seems you may have gained something from your time here!

    There are millions of them because it works, even for the advertisers. Say you sign up with netflix without the intention of actually using them. They don't care, they have your details and can market to you. They know you now know about them, market penetration and all that.

    Annoying, but not unethical IMO. If there's a win-win for all parties then it's fine.

    i think you missed the :rolleyes:
    and i don't want to continue whatever left off from the other thread, keep this civil please



    :eek: i am surprised of your assessment

    why do companies offer free trials, money back guarantees, etc.? because many customers forget to cancel or return...it's a win-win situation for companies and sellers as long as they get the sale. like with these free xbox offers and other stuff.....
