I was wondering if this could be done without being malicious to that level. If they are costing you money, then I have no moral qualms playing in kind. Taking that next step would then give up the moral high ground and potentially introduce yourself to legally questionable grounds.

I get the lack of time/energy for this type of thing. It is one of those projects that could be satisfying for yourself, but very hard to justify if you're a family person but something a younger person might get a lot of pleasure from.
