I understand that advertising is what pays the bills, but why are most of these ads on P2Pnet the most deceptive P2P scams imaginable? Although these Google ads are selected based on keywords, is there not some way to filter out the scams? Or if not, at least put a disclaimer on the page - ideally right next to the ad - warning people about these "100% legal free downloads". Or does P2Pnet get a cut for every poor fool who gets hoodwinked into paying for something that everyone else gets for free? I have to wonder if anyone has been sued as a direct result of responding to an ad promising "safe, legal downloads" that appeared on P2Pnet? If I were running a P2P site using these Google ads, I would be in constant contact with Google complaining about all the deceptive advertising. These scam ads are a disgrace, and their inclusion on this site might even call into question the very integrity of P2Pnet. Most of the ads on P2Pnet are these same scam download sites.

At "20 to 30 subscriptions per day" I can see why these scam sites continue. $50,000+ ewww, Gross! Love that irony:
