Even you just said you needed their willing assistance. That's my point. You couldn't have done it without that assistance--legally.

But I will agree that 'once paid, always used' is the way I see most people using their apps. The argument that everything will be used on a 'fee' basis in the 'cloud' is unlikely to be popular until they can prove it's cheaper and more reliable in the long run. This may work for enterprise users, where their entire server farm is owned and operated outside the company, but for everyday consumers, they won't be willing to pay multiple fees. They might be willing to pay a monthly fee for access, but not a separate fee for every single app. As yet, I don't see that happening on any kind of real basis outside of certain backup and synching services like 'Go to My PC' or me.com. I do, however, see where that is becoming more common over time.
