how is asking about paid services stealing?

Hey, DrMatrix, I know it’s verboten to talk about illegal activities here, but isn’t your trigger finger a little itchy?
He asked for opinions/information about available services, and how much they cost. Where do you get the idea that he is trying to subvert and/or steal them?

I understand T-Mobile has such a service (they’re partners with Starbuck’s) and I’m interested in hearing about experiences with it or competing services. Why is this discussion not allowed?

(Granted, it doesn’t sound like a GQ, but that’s another issue)

I agree. I can’t imagine how he got stealing out of asking how well a service works and if it’s worth buying. You might email him with the contents of this post. Maybe he just scanned the linked thread.

No he was not. That was not even implied. He was asking for opinions from people who had paid to use the service.

I think Dr. Matrix must have misread something in that post. I can’t find anything that even remotely sounds like asking how to steal the service.

5

Yeah, he must have read it too quick.

6

Yep, too quick.

I agree, I think he saw “free” and didn’t read the rest too carefully.

Since THAT thread has been re-opened I’m gonna close this one.
