No payloads please. (Score 1)

I think the easiest way to express what we want is to say that there be no payload in the Flash Player download. When we ask people to download Flash to view our sites, we do not want to open the door to unrelated advertising or marketing activity. It makes owners of Flash based sites unwilling and unpaid partners in Macromedia's 3rd party marketing efforts.

More pragmatically, you can see where there might be a problem if we are competing with whatever the payload is.
