Plus there's the unspoken assumption of profit. If you see an ad, you assume the site is making money off it. Which is, usually, true. So by trying to be selfless the org would actually end up appearing like it's profiting off the hobby.

I don't see the .org doing something similar since I'm sure it involves licensing fees, a more sophisticated music identification system than what we have now (which is based entirely on the editor entering the correct information), and lots of legal wrangling (e.g. U-Tube and Warner Music).

And Phade was saying, he didn't want to have paid ads on the site, because he didn't want the impression we're making money off distributing others' intellectual property.

But some people are dumb and won't be able to figure out that they aren't paid ads.
