A friend of mine actually used one of those "free AOL discs" - and you know what happened? They charged him for it. He used the "free disc" and they charged him for the service. When he called to inquire about the charge, he was told to refer to the "fine print" . . . True story.
According to AOL, they had to start charging for the "free service" because people were subscribing and cancelling, and subscribing again, perpetually, via free discs. He sort of felt like "why is that my problem?"
