This isn't about advertising your software or game.  This is about
illegally copying them and then distributing them on a site that sells
ads.

I tell you what:  let's get copies of Mike Kay's Saxon libraries and put
them on a site for free downloads.  That site will be paid for by ad
revenue from commercial ad servers but the advertised products will be
pornography and deadly fake pharmaceuticals.

Of course, it isn't theft.  That software is free.  Problem solved.  Now
drink the milk.

A lot of how some information industries work ( journalism, music,
movies, etc.. ) is self defeating and favour big titles, but would
kill medium size or small ones. Using these self-defeating rules the
game is ringed, but is possible to use technology to change the rules,
and then become a win. A lot of people should start changing the rules
of the game, and stop crying about the ruined milk.   I respect when
some authors say "thief"... I know where that claim come from, is a
feeling, but strictly speaking in not correct, and is not building
towards a solution.
