People trying to use loopholes such as this is what encourages companies to use things like restrictive DRM, or discourage the company from making products like this completely. When deciding whether or not to do this, factor in whether you value what the company is providing and the effort of the people working to build the product for you, and whether you would be pleased if you were a business owner and had a customer using similar tactics when buying your services.  It strikes me kind of like finding out that the kid down the street charges by the square foot to mow lawns, so you only have him do it once every 6 weeks to save a few bucks, even though it is going to take him three times longer than if you had him do it every week or two. After you did this a few times, I'm pretty sure I know what the kid would tell you to do with your lawn.</blockquote>
