Apple and Napster pull ads from P2P sites

After the UK record industry threatened Apple and Napster with legal action, the two have pulled ads for their music services from P2P sites. The UK labels called it "ironic" that the two leaders of the legitimate music download industry (Napster's a leader? When did this happen?) are advertising on sites that prosper from the illegal distribution of music.

The big problem I see with this is: if you take ads for legitimate services away from the one likely place music pirates might see them, how else are these wayward downloaders going to kick the habit? Oh well, guess this is why the RIAA isn't trying to recruit me.
