I'll say it again, THIS IS A FREE WORLD, and nobody can dictate that
you should download the adds period. If that means that some of
those "poor" suckers doing "free" websites have to close, well

Its obvious that you must be affiliated with one of those companies
doing this kind of business to have this attitude.
