But admit that it is shady. They're exploiting a technicality in contract law.
Shady? Yea, for ignorant people. Who's being exploited? Nobody. If you've got a brain in your head, you won't get caught up getting billed for these things.

Who's being exploited?

The kids that see the commercials and think 'Oh, free ringtone!'

They aren't being up front about the fees of their service that is being advertised as free, so you bet your *** that's shady.

Ignorance has nothing to do with intelligence. You are correct, the people who typically fall victim to these type of things are ignorant. They are ignorant to the fact that they will end up getting charged. In no way does that make them any less intelligent than anyone else. They simply do not know all the information. That does not mean they lack the capacity to learn said information. Your implication that people who are ignorant are also stupid makes you ignorant as well.

Very well said, I was going to reply to his post but when looking at most of his posts it seemed to be a need of his to bash someone rather than stay on task with information.
