Perhaps the "theoretically objecting subscribers" are victims of an 
uncaring society? Perhaps they don't have internet access? Maybe 
they cannot use a keyboard? What if they are sufficiently challenged 
in a cognitive way that they don't understand how their rights are 
about to be trampled on? Thank God for Lesher et al. Thank God for 
the fundamental liberal impulse: "You don't know what's good for you 
but I do."

Or, more commonly, "Banned in Boston."
