Not neccessarily right. To show this, I'll give a slightly but maybe not too
different example: assume a company A writes a PC game and convinces another
company B to use this for advertising. Now of course company B would love
millions of users to copy this game. But company A, unless they sold B the
rights to make as many copies as they want, loses the sales. You shouldn't
forget that - depending on the actual case - a company has to *buy* its
advertising material as well.

Nevertheless I'd love to have the commercials...
