I would agree with you that the a site's owner has the right to conduct the
site any way they wish, and it is unethical to try to get around their
restrictions. But I also feel that is dishonest to change the implementation
without alerting the customers, just as I feel it is dishonest to place
restrictions which are not traditional without making it clear before you sign
up. I ran into that problem with Tara Caballero's site. Most sites allow you to
download the pix from the site. I signed up for Tara's site, and found that it is
impossible to download the photos. I assumed it was a technical error, but
when I contacted tech support, they told me "why are you trying to download
the images?" I carefully checked out the free tours and sign-up info, and
found no indication that the photos couldn't be downloaded. I find that very
unethical and dishonest, and immediately cancelled my membership. I'm
disappointed that Lisa-Marie toyed with the idea of this sort of unethical
behavior, but I'm glad that she decided against it, and I don't have to take
away my business.
