So you want quality TV and don't want to pay for it? Up to you. No adverts = no TV.

allow for file transfers and thus can not be controlled.
Is this in reference to TV material only? Otherwise it sounds like if crime can be committed using computers and the net then it is not actually a crime.

Noooooooooooooo! That's can't be right.
That's the only way I get to watch TV now, by skipping the advertisements! I can't stand to watch a 15-20 minute show in 30 minutes just coz they want me to look at stuff I don't need or don't want to buy.
But I can see this catching on, unfortunately!
This is just crazy! Why do all these people always just want to make our life's hell?
So soon, in cinemas, will they made movies have ads in the middle of them also? I am sick of all this malarkey all the time!

At lot of us pay for TV and get overloaded with commercials.If I can have it for free, I'll deal with commercials.
As far as quality TV, I believe that is quite rare.

With the cost of receiving programming,(cable, dish, etc.) there should be no need for revenue from advertisement! Just as in the early days of broadcast, one or the other should be sufficient! If we are to pay for the ability to watch television let it be through one source!
