Most people will be too busy with their laptops, tablets, and phones to pay any attention to whatever ads they put on those screens.

It certainly wouldn't be OK for anyone that actually wants to use the in flight entertainment. I watch whatever TV shows and movies that I downloaded ad free and never turn on the seat back screens.
