Why?  Why is that not a legit business model?  Along the lines of 
some people are willing to watch TV-censored movies.

I understand this.  But that doesn't make the ISP evil in as much as 
it doesn't make the application evil.

The point I'm arguing is that the subject is once again "making a 
mole hill out of a mountain."  Maybe ya.com's practices will go the 
way of other failed business models as customers try it and walk 
away.  That makes it unprofitable, not evil and not the end of the 
world.
