As a user, text ads are not irritating and I wouldn't mind seeing the ads. But aside from that how about a link promoting your other blogs ala "See more at Weblog Empire". This would be good for cross promotion. Adam raises a good point, will it get you in trouble if you have Google Ads appearing on another site?

The scumsters who steal content are sometimes more lazy than unethical. I just hope no spamjerk steals my content with ads in it and then gets ME in trouble with AdSense due to having the banners surrounded by inappropriate content .

Downloading redundant copyright info seems silly... if there's gonna be wasted bytes, why not let you have a chance to make some money off of them? However, unlike a customized copyright notice, an ad will be easy for downstream aggregators to strip. There's really no reason for them to strip anything (your ads don't hurt them), but it's still something to consider. Duncan: When wearing my user hat, I’d probably prefer the ads.
