This looks like a dumb move on AOL’s part. They’re big enough that they’ll get away with it, I s’pose, but I can’t see it being okay long-term. What if they tried the same thing with email? Google caught heat for a much less invasive plan for gmail.

Guess this is the result of letting the lawyers drive the company. Someone should take the steering wheel back from Legal over there.
