You do have a point, shipping 50lbs of pet food for free was not sustainable for pets.com in 2000 but one could hardly fault customers for taking advantage of such foolishness.

Let's set aside any moral/ethical implications of ab/using free services for a moment.

The problem for you as a customer is that once the service closes it might take some time to find a new service.

Second, your time is valuable too. Making multiple free accounts to save $10 a month is an activity which might make perfect sense for a poor college student but would draw comparisons with Mr. Burns if you are a middle-aged high wage earner.

It took a while for amazon.com to get into pet food business.

When del.icio.us became slow and uncared for it took some time for me to find pinboard .

At what point is it not acceptable to use free accounts or discounts?
