There are others -- gmail and such. This is just what can be had *for*free*. For that matter, the uploading process doesn't require a user to agree to those terms at all. There's a module in CPAN that allows an upload, and never asks me to agree to any terms, nor does it ask me for an account password. I don't have multiple accounts, I don't *use* the encryption to attempt to circumvent the download restrictions, especially considering that said download restrictions don't even come into play until I need a restore. By the time I do need a restore, I'm willing to pay money, as 100 megs a month is certainly not going to be enough.
