no matter how clear it might be..why do you think its ok to use others content as a means for advertising over top of their own advertising?

you mean like how when I send email to my customers and they are using a service like google email that insterts my competions links right into my email the one that I have a relationship with ? I understand where you are coming from but I disagree. The surfer has downloaded and accepted to get ads for use of software, you and I might think why would someone do that, I would not do that. Well I would not buy porn on the internet but I sure am glad somebody does.
