I volunteered for this study and was given the DNA vaccine. One of the heftier dosages.
I was compensated, something like $25 a visit, hard to remember now, but in terms of travel time, not to mention a whole lot of holes poked in my arms, I wouldn't say that was the main attraction.
A friend talked to me about it who spent quite a lot of time in Africa, and I joined him.
I'm looking forward to finding out how long the antibodies remain (without the cold virus to help 'em spread a bit, probably not long) and what sort of protection they confer. Now that the study has been announced I'm going to have to hassle the researchers for a little more data on us.
And they say no side effects. Dunno, I seemed to have been sick every other week that winter. Could've just been coincidence though, or hypochondria.

In the GNUtella network, any sort of information is allowed. So yes, you could add your ads to the whole mix. However, subverting the system to return false information is not kosher. In this case, it's not the same as simply having a similarly named file. They respond to each and every request the same way. They are not adding to the system. They deserve to be filtered.
