I wonder why companies would possibly try to stop someone from attempting to make money from their intellectual property. I'd imagine that this was a situation where the MPAA had a brotherly talk with its foolish 'younger brother.' Something along the lines of.... 'So these guys are abusing you, eh? Let me show you how to fix them...'

I just had a thought... I'm surprised that they didn't go to all of the companies who's ads they were streaming (and it sounds like a LOT of them) and say, "You know, we got your ad viewed by 50,000 additional people last month. You should concider paying us to advertise for you."
I know you gotta advertise to make money in this world... if a company saw that people were voluntarily downloading their commercials for entertainment purposes, that has GOT to be worth something to them.
I have to imagine that would be every bit as effective an ad placement method as a newspaper or magazine ad.
However IANAAM (I am not an ad man).

Uh, bugg.. Ad agencies pay stations to air their ads. Not the other way around. If stations paid for ads, then Fox would have nothing but beer, car, and bikini ads. (Sarcasm intended)
When will Slashdot fall? (Troll -1)

This will get modded as a troll, I'm sure, but I think this is a question worth asking: When might Slashdot fall?
It seems that the biggest and baddest of companies have a difficult time paying the bandwidth bills when they become popular.
Do you think the economy will turn around in time to save Slashdot from a similar fate?
