Everyone knows that there is no such thing as something for nothing.

If you want something there is a cost. However, the tradeoff should be fair.

Spyware/adware isn't a bad thing in all cases, however, when you take advantage of a situation you're in the wrong.

If in order to get a few smileys i have to see some ads I should know what the marketing cost for my free smileys is. If the program offers free smileys and embeds itself in my computer to the point where I can't remove it and my system becomes inoperable well that's too far.

Look at Google. They serve contextual ads to everyone, it's the price you pay for awesome free resources. Good tradeoff.
