...researchers ran similar tests involving a four-minute clip of an animated sword fight between two pirate characters and a three-minute nature video about ducks. In both cases, when commercials were inserted into the middle of the clip, respondents reported higher satisfaction levels than did those who saw it without advertisements. Also, those who saw commercials were willing to pay more money for a DVD compilation of 15 shorts by the director of the pirate video and to donate more funds to wild-duck preservation.

(The paper's exhaustive investigation of the case is available online). But the exclusion of a key suspect exacted a steep price on many people. By exposing his adultery and painting him, however briefly, as a suspected murderer, the case torpedoed Condit's career and left his reputation in tatters.
