DemandMedia sure send a lot of spam. And they don't accept abuse complaints.

Demand Media is not the first to truly invest in, pioneer, and develop the Dot TV industry. Unity 4 Humanity existing one month before the inception of Demand Media has set, and continues to set all benchmarks in this industry. DotTV is what it is today largely because of U4H and Demand Media. Although Channelme.tv sites are nothing more than glorified parked pages, Demand Media is helping raise awareness about .tv domains. Many technology experts hope in the future Demand Media will move away from this horrible gimmicky platform and begin to work with Unity 4 Humanity in developing unique Dot TV News Channels and true Internet Television Broadcasting. Demand Media seems to be a company with idol worship, investor capital, and a lot to learn. Much of what can be done to strengthen and develop this industry however can only be achieved by Unity 4 Humanity.

Great concept. Demand is definitely onto something with deep pockets and a proven concept in the online advertising industry.
