Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I don't pay in to any of those things. There's also privacy concerns with how facebook shares your personal info with app developers.
Still, I can't say I was joking with that charging people who watch the screen step. I remember reading that was one of the reasons the movie industry was so reluctant to allow any home video format at all back in the day. There was never a way to count the heads to charge people as if they were going to a theater, and thus they were afraid it was going to cut in and destroy their lucrative theater going revenue. >_>
