how about Wikipedia's "no original research" policy?
DemandMedia supposedly pays their authors for writing the pieces - which supposedly means original content.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not equaling current Wikipedia
and their overall great goal with DemandMedia. I'm just wondering - if the content farm hunt happened several years ago how would Wikipedia survived it.
>and slapping ads on it
well, i'm for one would like it if search engines rated lower any web pages with ads - more ads (like page real estate taken) - more scores taken out. It is like with Congressmen - more money in donations from Shell - less my trust that the Congressmen will support any anti-global warming efforts.

I think you're equivocating over 'original' here. On Wikipedia, it means that everything you write is either directly sourced to another work or basic connective prose and obvious trivial inferences; it's a matter of citations and verification. With DemandMedia it simply means that the prose hasn't appeared elsewhere.
