Okay I cannot being to describe how bad this is. Ushering in a whole new era of cockholsters, now there's no need to get your own traffic, I'm not going to describe how you can get a massive install on millions of computers but let's just say it's cheaper and easier than people think. Now you can have all the traffic you want siphon'd right off the pages, this sets SUCH a bad precedent I don't even know where to begin. You think companies like Gator were agressive before, this has just opened the floodgates, rather than pop a small 200x300 ad for Expedia on Travelocity now they can just pop a full screen ad and the user will see the intended target AFTER they make their purchase elsewhere. Same principal is being applied to adult by MANY, MANY cockholsters, sorry if I'm stealing your word Mike but it seems pretty appropriate here.

Ask 12 Clicks how easy it is to do....

This is a bad decision, bad law.... Hopefully someone litigates another case soon, and does it is successful. If not there will be a MAJOR war on the net.... It will be like the Gangs of NY but on the net!
