No disagreement there.

If someone were giving out free apples, and everyone who wanted one
had already gotten one, and there were a bunch left over that would
go to waste anyway, what would be so bad about taking a second apple
under those circumstances?

Isn't that the current situation with Gmail accounts? When Gmail was
first released, there were far more people who wanted one than were
available.
But eventually, people were dumping their invites at places like
isnoop.net.
So if all these invites are sitting around unused anyway, what's so
terrible
about someone having a second account, especially if they're not doing
anything abusive with it?
