    What I want to see them tackle is automatic renewals for subscriptions. It should be the law that when you sign up for a subscription service, you have to opt in if you want automatic renewal. What every service does is make you sign up for automatic renewal, and then you have to remember to cancel. And even though most sites will extend your subscription to the date you’ve paid thru so you can go cancel right away, that’s never stated clearly on their site.

      Not doing that is fraud/theft. It’s fine for free trials because the customer didn’t pay anything.

      I found out the hard way that Hulu ends your subscription immediately.

      Edit: I was remembering a free trial, not paid subscription.
