The question becomes… would it be more cost-effective to buy software that kids can use indefinitely?

I’m not saying parents should buy every subscription that kids want, but I like the concept. It’s “green” (less plastic toys that kids don’t play with anymore going into landfills), and when the child stops using the site, you just cancel the subscription. (Personally, I wouldn’t even tell them… just cancel it… because you know it’s the ONE toy or game or application, in this case, that you suggest throwing away that becomes their *favorite* all of a sudden, even if they hadn’t touched it in YEARS prior to that!)

Yes, with all this pay-per-access, ads on the Internet, etc. we’re breeding yet another generation of consumers… but that’s been going on for *decades*. That’s a whole other issue I have, personally.

But if it’s going to happen, I don’t think the venue makes a difference.
