I wonder why all those companies do that when I "register" for millionth time as Bard Simpson or Fugg Ovv from Angola. What does it gain(huh?) them except pissing off their visitors is behind me. Thank goodness for "Bug-Me-Not" FF plugin, though it does not work 100% of when I need it of course.
You do not have a God-given right to free content provided at the expense of the work of others.
Maybe not in exactly those words but i thought that was the point of the internet. If you want to make money for providing a news service maybe the internet is not a good option for you. Before the internet was commercial it was all about free exchange of information. Honestly i wouldn't care if all the ad-supported content left the internet. I am sure if this happened someone would step up and provide all the worthwile information for free.

Conflict of Interest: Two men, whose family and business associates and friends have extensive investments in global oil businesses, are president and vice-president of the entire U.S. government.
Using dishonest means, these men convinced U.S. taxpayers to pay for killing people in Iraq. What has been accomplished there? The killing under Saddam was less than the killing under George Bush.
One thing that has been accomplished, however, is that the profit from oil contracts involving Iraq has been shifted from Saddam to U.S. companies. This was accomplished while minimizing the support for U.S. troops.

We have a Republican President and a Republican House, and a Republican Senate. They don't give a rip about things like civil rights or privacy. As long as someone can make a buck, it's allright by them. Unless of course, it costs them money.
