I am glad that the Cerberus Network is really going to pay off.

Then they've already delivered substantial free content and its okay to charge for some other stuff, which they were planning to do anyway.

I think it's a great idea. Free DLC is always awesome. Happy that BC2 is doing it too.

Why? Anyone paying for the network either saved a lot of money by buying the game second hand, or pirated the game - in which case they're not really entitled to anything.

This is welcomed. But still, I think I'm all Mass Effect'ed out. Thats my problem with DLC, usually by the time it comes out I'm done and dusted with the title.

What Cerebral said. If you bought it second hand you saved money, and none of the money you spent purchasing it actually went back to the developer. The developer made nothing off you and you got a better deal, so you're really not entitled to anything at all.
You buy the Cerberus Network card as its the developer's way of saying "Okay, you've given us some money back now, we'll give you some free content". So far they've delivered on just that.
We've also got Kasumi coming (apparently), though I wouldnt be surprised if she was paid DLC. Not everything will be free, and I think we've gotten a pretty crazy amount of free stuff already. Especially from a company that doesn't handle DLC very well and is owned by EA.

Kasumi's data is already in the game, you can find videos of her in the final mission on Youtube from someone who modified his save game file. The DLC that makes her available would just be one of those 108kb keys, which I think people would object to paying for. I'd guess that Kasumi would be the last bit of free DLC.

Her voice work, scrapes of coding, and placeholder model are in the game. Which makes sense as she was probably planned for some time. Her loyalty quest, room on the Normandy, and proper model do not exist in the game, so it will be a bit more than an unlock key.
