Stupidest idea I've heard in a long time. Extortion, outwresting, or exaction is a criminal offense, which occurs when a person either unlawfully obtains money, property or services from a person, entity, or institution through coercion or intimidation or threatens a person, entity, or institution with physical or reputational harm unless he is paid money or property. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extortion

I just modded you up. Yours is the most point-on comment on this entire page.

I think this has legs. Could be positioned and designed something along the lines of http://www.shoulddothis.com/ or even http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ (but this service would be 'doesthissitesuckorisitjustme.com). It's not 'extortion' to companies subscribing. It's valuable and a cheap form of research. Has to be presented 'nicely' of course!
