  That's just plain silly Henrietta.  Users have bought and paid
for that service--it's not a privilege it's something they've already
purchased.  If you go in for a bite to eat you don't assume
the burger you just paid for is a 'privilege'.  It's that type
of mindset that will lead to consumer protection regulation--long 
over due--far too many crooks in this industry.
