I would never subscribe to, for example, HBO NOW if I thought I’d have to go through HBO (owned by AT&amp;amp;T) in order to unsubscribe.  I want the guarantee of easy cancellation.&lt;p&gt;I am also fine with Apple collecting a modest fee for providing that service.  That fee should probably be somewhere in the 2-3% range.  Demanding what amounts to a 30% “introducer fee” is beyond absurd.&lt;p&gt;I also do not approve of how inconsistently Apple enforces their own rules.</text></comment>
