Probably even worse. Your hurting the website even more - lowering the
CTR [1] by registering an impression, yet

Ad blocking is short-sighted and selfish - you are costing the publisher
money and preventing more content being produced in the future. Pretty
unethical.

I did some sums on this, with a view to using S3 to deliver some images and
video.
I pay around £15/mbps for my bandwidth (in the UK, its less elsewhere). 1mbps =
~320Gb/month transfer
320Gb transfer with S3 = $64 = £32.
About twice the price.
Of course I'm not factoring in storage costs -
All my personal point of view, as usual
Seriously guys why the need for DRM, I've only just reconciled myself
that I'm not going to get radio in ogg format, and will have to put up
with real player as long as I want Radio on demand; now this?!
Most BBC stations have a Windows Media stream as
I've never posted to it - although having a look at posts on there, it
