I really hate the idea of "we'll do something not-so-nice and allow people to opt out". Most people won't bother, it doesn't scale (how many things do I have to opt out of, again?), and it's passing your problem on to me.
That said, "click here to donate your spare CPU cycles to awesomesite.com" would be just, well, awesome.

We always wanted a way to make them contribute to folding@home while spamming the site, but we settled for putting them into an endless loop of recaptcha instead.
