Hypothetically speaking….
-
Let’s say that somebody had tested a streaming service a few years ago, but cancelled that service before they actually charged him/her/xer/fuzzy unicorn. Let’s say a few years later that service gets folded into a larger service and said somebody decides to try it out. They/xey/fuzzy unicorn download the new app and try to cream an id only to discover that there is already an account under that email address. On a hunch, said person uses their/xeir/ fuzzier old log in from the old service. Sure enough, it works. Not only does it work, but they have full access WITH NO PAYMENT INFO on file. “Oh, there must be a trial promo for former members..” says this hypothetical person/horned equine.Three months go by and they/xey/fuzzy unicorn still have full access with no payment info set up.
What would you do in said situation?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Jesus H. Christ
The "H" stands for (insert Spanish accent here) "Jesus."

Start a consulting LLC, give them a sales pitch about how you can identify such problems. Continue to use the service free as part of the research for the consulting contract. Show them how they are vulnerable to moochers, and collect your consulting fee.

@george-k
Jesus saves but Esposito knocks in the reboundIt has been over 50 now years since that line was popular. Of course it was known to all where I lived. He was kind of garbage man hanging around the net cleaning up garbage.
He was loved. Until he went to NY, not so much then.

Riiiiight. You were asking for a friend.
Seriously? I was opening an old Amazon Fire we have last night to put some memory games for Finley. When it turned on an ad (Gah, I despise some things about Amazon… An ad on their screensaver?) for a movie that was showing on that app popped up. I hit the ad out of curiosity and it popped on… I have a mild interest in the service and may occasionally activate it for a month or so for a few specific shows. Now I’m concerned about them coming back and charging me for these three months…

I'd enjoy the free streaming service as long as it lasts. If they are too incompetent to keep track of who pays and who does not, they deserve it.

My thoughts, too. I paid for Sirius radio in my old car after the free trial ran out, and after about a year of paid service called to cancel it when I moved out of the country. They thanked me for my business, and then never got around to actually turning off my service. I got free Sirius radio in that car for over 10 years, until I had to replace the car.
