Agreed. Also, quite simply, the companies usually have an agreement with their feed site (most aren't directly connected) that they'll keep within the rules.
If I ever see again any of the blatant "I can advertise and you can't stop me" BS that I saw a couple of weeks ago here, I will be talking to (as in: telephone) the responsible feed sites. That's something for the advertisers to consider...
