Actually this is part of a move all over the commercial sector to put the onus on consumers. Have you read the fine print on various contracts. Lets say, for example, your Lawn Care Service, the contract probably says it will automatically renew next year if not specifically cancelled, in writing, by you the consumer. Opt Out Baby. That is the new way of business. Check out Sun Java updates. If you aren't careful you will install Google Toolbar. Same with Rhapsody music player. Face It. There is no more "Opt In". Can't wait for 30 year mortgages that "Automatically Renew" and the "EverFull Starbucks Cup", tied of course to your bank account.
