Advertising isn't some zero-sum game that suddenly makes you lose because you happened to see it. Republishing is - the original publisher loses out on the value of his publication because that means either reduced ad revenue or reduced subscription. I'm guilty myself of reading republished articles, but it is a loss for the publisher.


I hope you realize that what you wrote isn't related to my point at all. It's fine, but why put that as an answer to my comment is beyond me.
