This reminds me of the old trial membership game that was used a while back. I'm not sure if any sites still employ it now. The way it worked is that you signed up for a few days for a buck. In the TOS that you agree to during signup it stated that you had to cancel membership before it expired or it would auto-renew at X amount. Of course most people never bother reading the TOS and let the membership expire and the PC hijacking commenced! It was deemed legal since you agreed in the TOS.
