It makes sense to charge according to the VALUE a customer gets from
your product.

It seems illogical to me that I pay the same for a program I hardly
ever use, and one I use continuously. You need some sort of scheme to
share the cost pie of providing the service. So long as the seller
has not wangled a monopoly position, he should be free to cook up any
scheme he pleases. The market place will punish the irritating
schemes..
