With all the bandwidth, disk, and cpu required, I can see where their monthly expenses would make their revenue-on-advertising model difficult. OTOH, if no one else is offering this service, it seems to me there should be a way to make it work. Heck, I'd pay $10/month for access to that database of information if I had to.
