Normally I'm not a huge fan of throwing in new laws but I do think it would be reasonable to legislate that unsubscribing from a service must be as easy as subscribing. If we are going to give companies the legal ability to auto-charge you each month, we should give people the legal ability to stop that at any time easily.

California has done that, and hence NYT allows you to unsubscribe online without this hassle if it's IP geo-detection detects you're in california, which exposes this as the business/retention decision it is and not a technical limitation.

But the free market will regulate itself! /s

What else are laws for?
