KennyMillar writes "BBC News Online is reporting that advertisers are starting to place ads on P2P networks, because they are so popular. But the owners of paid-for download services are accusing them of "providing 'oxygen' for companies that support illegal downloading.""

    Those evil advertisers! They put ads on webpages that serve files via HTTP! OMFG! They are supporting illegal downloading by supporting HTTP!

    We must ban advertising so it stops fueling the rampant illegal downloading.

    Actually, come to think of it, that wouldn't be such a bad idea ;)
