Remember, you're not OLC's customer - you're their product.

(Same with

Google, Facebook etc.)







Are you saying that the description on the OLC website is not a

true representation of their organisation?

I think the comment is just a bad marketing move. Based on their website information they are using this extra money to support the hardware to prevent becoming a victim of their own success.
As for the German text - Google translate helps ;-)

Should we pay that money or not? If you're using OLC a lot and flying 50.000USD/EUR+ material then what are we talking about?
This is almost like the complaints i see about the planned (?) yearly fee of 1 USD for Whatsapp. What is wrong for asking a tiny bit of money for a service that you choose to use?
