Default Buying software online? No on!

Isn't that annoying that it has now become commonplace that you only get 1 year
subscription. Even worse, the vendors hide in the small print that they will
automatically charge your credit card for the next year subscription unless you
cancel the continuation, but the cancellation will only be accepted if it is
received in the month of the otherwise automatic renewal, and of course the
vendor has to acknowledge the cancellation, and anything can of course go wrong
in that communication...

Well, I for one am no longer interested in buying online under such conditions.

Use a cahoot Webcard, or similar.
