I think there's a place where "freemium" is the right fit... if you have non-essential content, or don't spend much time or effort on your web properties, it's probably an ok thing.
Once you have anything worth backing up/restoring, you should start paying for what you use, because being a customer means something (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1684732 ... "If you're not paying, you're the product").
There are those who can't pay, and for that reason I do think it's good to fight this kind of blatant identity-theft.
Still a lesson: If you can afford it and if you have anything of worth on someone else's servers, you should be paying for that privilege.
