to the media companies that feed off of advertiser dollars it is offensive. It is taking food off the plates of those that work in the entertainment business since advertisements and product placement are a huge source of revenue.
In the UK where the public airwaves TV are subsidized by the government and the license fees that are generated, I would think that it's much less difficult.
