Tweet goes viral fueling criticism against HP

You're not paying for ink cartridges silly, you're paying for how much you print!

It all makes sense: if you stop paying for the service, you stop receiving the service, duh!

It's not illegal so it's crazy that people think they're this evil corporation!
