Remember when one of us posted the link for a free MW subscription... well I still receive free MW issues and they always try to bill me. Of course, I always discard the envelope (read: shove in the recycling bin)... and do the same with the magazine, after a short read.
Who else thinks they're very desperate

Is that the honorable thing to do?

Explain how this is not honorable.
I give them the chance to hook me up to their magazine, I give them time every time I get the new issue. They have their chance. Maybe if the magazine actually had interesting content... but it's a load of iPod accessories ads. I didn't ask for these issues.
Heck, for all I know they're happy that I lay my eyes on their advertisments. If they were not, they'd stop sending me issues I didn't ask/pay for.

Do the ethical thing and call Macworld customer service at 800-288-6848 or email them with your mailing address using www.subhelp@macworld.com

Wont be funny several years from now when you are trying to get a mortgage or a car loan and your credit report pulls up a delinquent account because of a no-pay (yes, even a 1-year subscription can be reported to a credit agency when you default on it, and you have to take care of it eventually)
Just cancel it, or take an invoice and write in big letters on it CANCEL CANCEL and mail it back to them.

Yeah, Laugh now. It's probably on your credit report as we speak.

No it's not. He hasn't ordered the magazine in the first place, so non payment is not an issue. I would recommend telling them though.

To all the idiot telling me about my future reports: I never agreed to pay a single one of their shitty mags. How is that bad credit if I don,t respon to their Spam?
There is no ethical thing to do, Benton. They send me **** for FREE. They are well aware of it, and it's NOT a bug, or anything like that. It must be profitable for them to keep harassing "trial" users to pay for their magazines. Who knows, sometime they might even get me as a new customer (if the magazine changes drastically). Damn, you're an idiot. Stop telling me about ethics.
