: : Sorry, I missunderstood : We denizens of the internet are far to used to getting all kinds of free info.
: I just hope they don't start bottling it like Viacom. That would suck.
: On a side note, have you noticed the new advertising at the offical ST sites?
: I wonder if theres advert inside also.
: Not only will they make you pay for cheapo goods, but they'll happily put banner ads at the bottom of the screen.
: I say if they're going to put up ads, they should make it free. The overhead on the net is so low, and the fact is, if they opened those kinds of floodgates, they would make way more money. I agree, I think the banner ads are there just to get you to spend money. Viacom
doesn't care who it steps on- they get to sit back and watch the money roll in while
we sit and bitch. Its all about Monopoly- all about MONEY, but they can do that
because no-one has any regelations to stop something like this. It would take a massave
writing campaign to even crack the DAM- then maybe the flood gates will open, but there just aren.t enough
people who care.
