This guy is pure dirt. Pointing to the positive effects of the internet to back up his claim that advertising will somehow aid that. Advertising isn't anything more than a rude manipulative sales man that you cant slam the door on. The reason the internet is making such an impact is because it is once and for all liberating human awareness and potential, by making all information freely available. This abundance of choice has given presidency to quality. The lies can't compete

Someone's been drinking the cool aid. Advertising supported content may be more appealing compared to things that cost money, but nothing beats the convenience and freedom of file sharing.

@sketchyj That in itself could be an unusual way to promote an established brand.
Ad's are just a part of marketing. The brand will be seen in the store. Coke is practically ingrained in our culture so much so that advertising for Coke only reinforces the idea of the brand in the mind of the consumer. Your idea is catchy. Yeah, why not do a promo' campaign donating the ad budget to charity. It's a great idea that would likely receive media attention. That = brand promotion.

"only three ways to acquire content: at 1:26
1) steal it
2) fees or subscriptions
3) or accompanied by advertising"
What about free, user-generated content such as in my own work on my own blog? I pay for its publication. It's not ad supported, it's free, and therefore, cannot be stolen.
I think you overstate the importance of ad supported media. (See Clay Shirky.) People are more than willing to share their own creations and pay for its dissemination..

Its a nice idea, not only coke, all the major brands that doesn't need a marketing exactly can donate 25% of their advertising money to those who really need will be a great help to millions...
