I read his article last night and wasn’t sure why he posted it because in the comments he said it was a post for my parents?

Common sense be damned, Allen. This is web 2.0!

Zing! Well said, Allen. I agree with you a thousand and twelve percent on this one. To disagree is foolhardy and ignorant, imho. TC tends to promote a sensationally extreme agenda when it comes to the way business should treat their consumers. The music industry should be giving away it's products and be overjoyed with illegal downloads, the web apps should be ignoring the load on their servers and SANs and giving infinite features for free for life, etc. Jason's post last night is just another in a long line of examples of how the TechCrunch staff is willing to throw logic out the window in the interest of arousing their militant army of freetards (aka: people who think they should not have to pay for anything and that there should be no consequence for their violation of terms of use).

Tell me all you want about “accepting the terms” but I would argue that is purely for legal protection, not for brand protection. I would expect any veteran of the business world to understand the concept of properly setting customer expectations. Without the users, the service is useless and pissing the users off, even due to their own negligence, is no way to run a business. I use POP access myself.
