Not really. I felt it hypocritical to complain about advertising if
you're grabbing shows without paying for them.
My main sources of streaming entertainment are netflix and hulu, and I
don't mind the advertising on hulu because it's usually of the "2
minutes at the beginning and then here's you're entire show" variety, or
30 seconds at each break instead of 3 minutes at each break, which I
feel is acceptable for the convenience of watching whatever I want
whenever I want.
My only vice is a particular sporting event that is pay-per-view only,
so I usually head down to Buffalo Wild Wings or some other sports place
to watch them for free, and enjoy some wings while I'm there.
This is completely wacky off-topic so I will stop now.

You're kidding, right? I haven't had TV reception capability at home
since about 1995. I
download those very few shows (mostly geeky stuff like Star Trek and
Stargate) that I want to watch. I'll be damned if I'm going to PAY for
someone to run an advertising pipe into my house.
Just curious if you PAY for the shows you download.
