＜Japanese Version＞

　商業的WEBサイトにはID・PWを決めて会員になると更に有用な情報が得られるものが多く、その数十パーセントではユーザーの氏名・生年月日、年齢、性別、家族構成、興味範囲などを聞くものがある。私もこれまで沢山のWEBサイトに登録してきたが、中にはある一定期間が過ぎると有料に変化するものがあって、沢山の内規の中に有料化の規定が書かれているらしい。Goo￥¥¥やAdo@@のような有名サイトでは知らない間に年間～月間料金に変化している。その様なサイトの幾つかを解約しようとトライしているのだが、解約関連ページ内の情報が多すぎて分り辛く解約手続きを諦めてしまうことが多い。このような有料化に至る仕掛けは何か意識的にしているとしか思われず、誠に腹立たしい感じがする。

＜English Version＞

　There are many commercial websites where you can obtain more useful information by specifying your ID and PW and becoming a member, and tens of percent of them collect information such as the user's name, date of birth, age, gender, family composition, and range of interests. 　There's something to hear I have registered with many websites, but some of them charge a fee after a certain period of time, and it seems that many of the internal regulations have provisions for charging fees. 　Famous sites like Goo￥￥￥ and Ado@@ change their fees from yearly to monthly without you even realizing it. 　I am trying to cancel my subscription from several such sites, but I often end up giving up on the cancellation process because there is so much information on the cancellation-related pages that it is hard to understand. 　I can't help but think that this kind of fee-based mechanism is done consciously, and it's really upsetting.
