I would be willing to bet it cost them nothing and cost Anon thousands in the end.
Being you and I both know they dont give their service out for free and surely made up the cost and then some in the price of his service. I would say they even received more profit on that with the expedited depreciation schedule they get to use now to show more expenses and thus reduce their tax write off on a line that will probably be there and used (if someone subscribes) for the next 50-100 years.
