> it is ridiculous to build your buisness model around it and disrespectful to the customer's intellect

Many things in business are easy to defeat if you’re willing to break the rules. Enforcement is handled through audits, flagging suspicious activity, and investigations.

It’s ridiculous to think that because you can temporarily circumvent a restriction that the rules don’t apply.

I don’t agree with the excessive enforcement used, but there is a lot of tortured logic in this thread trying to argue that the contract terms shouldn’t apply to service usage because the customer doesn’t like the terms.

> restriction in both cases is so easily overcome

We’re like one comment away from HN discovering that insurance fraud is both easy and punishable.

> disrespectful to the customer's intellect

Murder is easy. It’s not disrespectful to anyone’s intellect to then punish it.

> The restriction in both cases is so easily overcome

And? Being able to easily bypass a providers rules does not make that rule invalid.
