In theory, you are correct. However, no other media (that I know of) that uses advertising to generate revenue gives you the choice. I would love to watch ad-free television, read a magazine with no ads, listen to ad-free FM radio, or surf an ad-free WWW.

None of these are an option; I can only assume that once advertising got into a media distribution system, that it would be there to stay.

I would, however, love to be proven wrong!
