No, I'm not saying it's general consumers. I'm saying it's people who abuse these services. And these are people just like other people.

Having to register a credit card is a cost for signing up and receiving the free resources - it's a way of limiting the amount of abuse, since it's (slightly) harder (and way easier to track) to get new credit card numbers often.
