They seem to want to play both sides of the piracy argument,
I find it VERY hard to believe they have no control over where their ads are placed and as they use the same ad agency as telewest (who's ads don't appear on edonkey AFAIK) it strikes me as odd.

Erm, I believe the article you posted referred to eDonkey as a website.. I don't think anyone else has.
One final thing, just because NTL and Telewest are using the same ad agency, does NOT mean they advertise in the same places. Has it occured to you that they may just be advertising on doubleclick, or a similar online agency that eDonkey uses to provide adverts. Also, no one said they have no control. In fact, I would say they have control as they have said the adverts will stop. I said they may not have been aware their ads were on eDonkey, which is possible.
