When did they start putting advertisements in torrents?

They're embedding advertisments in TORRENTS now!!! The following files have shaken out of my daily haul today...

*No credit card or any payments required*

Really easy, all you do is sign up and enter where you want them to send your check.

-Next, log in and go to the "earn money" tab. Click where it says "Click here to start the Surf Junky Browser".
-Your web browser window will pop up and rotate ads.
-Leave it on overnight or something, and you make money for all the time you leave it on.

-It's 45 cents per hour if you just leave it alone and dont sign up for anything, but it adds up if you just leave it running whenever
you aren't at your computer.

Ive already gotten 2 checks from them, they send out a check every month, as long as you have made 25 dollars.

Who would have thought....

When downloading the torrent, you have the choice to not download certain files. Well, you know what to do.

That is true. I normally don't even look at the file list. Now I know to.
