For me commercials provide FREE > television and FREE radio (not having to pay $13 a month). > > That's a positive not a negative. > You do realize (maybe you don't) that that argument is actually a straw man. There's no such thing as 'free' radio or television. When you buy a product (Coke, Ford, KFC, Trojan Enz) you're paying for "free" broadcast media. Do you think that the price of advertising is not passed on to the consumer? It's sort of like when your employer pulls money from your paycheck to send to the IRS and SSA, it doesn't hurt so much as it's money you never see (unless you're lucky enough to have some of it coming back to you at tax time). I'm sure that you and I pay far more than $13 a month in inflated prices from paying for advertising.
