Mass advertising through software is an interesting idea, but I think any
attempts in this direction would provoke the same response as has copy
protection -- a major outcry of protest and a thriving industry for
removing the unwanted features of the software.  Although some advertisements
are recognized for artistic merit or comic relief, the public generally
is contemptuous and unappreciative of advertising.
