My my, this seems to have got your goose!
Now, let's see. The purveyors of this cell-junk are fully aware that many of those under 18, thus legally prohibited from entering into a contract without the approval of their guardian, possess cell-phones and that these cell-phones contain money ( in one form or another ). Legally the phone belongs to the guardian normally, so legally there is no "issue" with their cell-junk "contract". But, of course, we all know that the guardians and parents are not in any kind of position to completely police their kids' phones, so this opens up the opportunity to steal candy from babes, as it were, and ain't that candy SWEET.
So we obtain some complete trash, doll it up, get some sucker ad agency to create a TV commercial that DELIBERATELY states the "subscription" nonsense in tiny letters so as to be virtually illegible, and make sure that this legalese is flighted for the shortest possible time - so short that Superman's x-ray eyes would struggle to read it. Then we punt our trash day-in and day-out, and steal the money from the children, leaving their parents with very little recourse. We also make it difficult for anyone wishing to object by hiding any bricks-and-mortar business office, and join the industry association that we have set up to protect ourselves while claiming legitimacy.
You're right - it is not "rape" - it is "statutory rape". This slimeball "industry" should be banned, along with kubus kulture.
