A little constructive criticism is in order, Jon. I like P2Pnet, but sometimes reading your stories is tiring. While I appreciate that you want to convey that the RIAA and MPAA is acting bizarrely, using the word “bizarre” is an indirect author’s comment. The site is bias toward P2P issues, but you’re crossing the line into writing propaganda and that is what I find tiresome.

Don’t misunderstand me here, I am all about reformation of copyright laws, believe that the RIAA needs to re-examine its policy and business models, and also think that DRM is contrary to the efforts of the copyright holder. Yes, I want the information, but I don’t want to be told what to think. Give me the story and let me form my own opinion.

Perhaps a better way would be to write the story, then write an opinion piece.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but just “seeing” the green underlines does nothing. You gotta “click” on them to generate revenue. So perhaps a better thing to say is, “hey people, click on a few links then close the extra windows, to at least generate a few extra cents..”

Alright, because you provide such a valuable public service, I have decided that p2pnet.net will become the first and probably only site to ever get to my adblock+ whitelist. I hate ads but I’ll do my very small part to help you out. (so long as the ads don’t become flashy, loud, or otherwise too annoying)

Good morning Jon,

Above is a link to a screenshot of how to whitelist p2pnet for Adblock. Until I whitelisted, the green lines didn’t show up for me either .
Check that box people!

Just a change, you need to add p2pnet.net to adblok white list (prefix by @@ to be in white, else it’s blacklisted) to see ads on the right.
May you earn lots of money

When I read about that new ad system on p2pnet, I told myself: “strange, I never see any of it, but I have activated javascript for it (firefox’s noscript plugin)”, then I thought: “maybe it’s adblock (adblock plus + filterset.g)”, I deactive it and bingo, I have green dotted line. I looked in adblock options, and added p2pnet.net to “sites to help” (I translated back from French) so now, I see the ads.
Cool ? You can do the same.
