Scary. So next time you pirate something, realize that you're helping move music, movies and software to what is mentioned in the last paragraph.

No I didn't miss the point at all and yes it would suck, especially as far as movies go, but hell if I had a book with ads in it then I would just turn the page faster and be one more page closer to the end, or rip them out all together. CD's you could just toss em on the PC and copy the song files and burn a new one. I'm simply saying that a scare tactic such as this isn't going to sway people from getting it for free. I'm not all into pirating stuff, hell i don't even have any music on my PC, but the ones that do haven't been scared off by lawsuits and losing their computers so I hardly doubt this will steer them in the right direction

Anyways I understand what it's all about I'm just simply saying that they always return to old faithful (advertising) and that's not gonna pay all the bills either; however, as a Graphic designer it will pay my bills . The internet itself is laced with ads but it doesn't make me click on their banners and buy their stuff.

What can they do?? If I knew that answer I'd be richer than Bill Gates

What if the ad was in the middle of the content? Like, there was a small ad between each paragraph? What if the ads were appended to the song files? Now this is the scariest part. What if the songs and ads blended together? What would you do if you were reading a book with the plot centered around chicken mcnuggets or listened to a song about nike shoes?
