its not so far off the mark to call it adware, but not all adware is bad.. icq offers a pretty nice service for free based on ads. Im happy and i know what it does.

This isnt an exe its an mpg , it doesnt need to be uninstalled and isnt nefarious in any way. it pops one popup , its very clear where it came from.

The method you describe doesnt work on p2p and it never worked on freesites if p2p had every file served up fast from every members area. i see your point , but they dont , That wiggle room is exactly what we take advantage of.. If anything the p2p just primes the surfer with content he couldnt get on a website.. making him want more.. we give them the op to pay and get it much easier.
