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.

Personally, I wouldn't mind reading ads when reading books. Makes it easier on the eyes

But on a serious note, I have tried to cut down on pirating stuff recently, so I'm helping to relieve some of the burden.

even so, we should try to get others to stop as well.


But anyway when you think about it, ads are popping up everwhere. It's becoming so bad that it's resulted to all that adware crap that comes into people's computer. When you think about it, 5 years ago, pop up ads didn't bother me that much becuase they rarely poppped up, even w/o a pop up blocker. I know this may seem irrelevant, but the fact is, that all that adware stuff is coming into our computers, trying to get our credit card numbers, false advertisement. etc. Because they want money.

And now, more and more ads are popping up because companies are trying their hardest to advertise, even if one is using a pop-up blocker. And many of those pop-ups are about celling cds, magazine, signing up for stuff yoiu have to pay for, etc. Just think, if filesharing gets worse and worse, more ads will pop up. You're right, it's already happening. Even under our very nose.

Sorry if my argument seems a little well... confusing. All I'm saying is that now, pop ups and ads on the computer/internet is getting worse ever since the filesharing started.. around 4 to 5 years back.
