I'm a newbie here and there are things I don't understand.

I use BlackWidow from time to time on certain sites that are paysites because I don't want to have to access the site all the time to review the same documents.

It seems that Black Widow will not access the site if I don't have the password.

Why is it that you'd want to block the PAID user from accessing the site?

Is it part of the TOS that site rippers are not to be used ?

Or is it just a tactic to prevent the user to have a convenient access to what he paid for, imposing a nuisance on him in order to entice a renewal of the subscription?

Or what is the problem if it is of another nature?
