Surprise, when browsing thru the main page, I saw, and clicked (so you guys earned 10c) on several website advertising via google ads downloading CR right away, using file sharing programs.

Just a thought, but you guys should probably check those sites, and delete them from appearing in your google ads program. It's much worse advertising those, than letting people post some jpg images of the movie in the forums to illustrate a point, I think. :)

Thanks for the heads up on this. We'll look into that and see what we can do about it.

Unfortunately, we have very little influence on the contents of those Google ads, it even happened once that we had an ad for CnB on the site.

I have google ads too, you can zap unwanted sites, by putting their url on a list on your personal google ads page. All you have to do is save the unwanted site url, and put it in there. It's pretty simple, and help avoid national front ads and such appearing on your site.
Connect on your personal google ads page on the google site, and search for the section on unwanted sites.

Yes, certainly. The trouble with those download sites is, the you can't name them before they showed up for the first time, because there are so many of them. Zap one, and two previously unknowns will appear.

The Admiral surely knows how to handle this...
