That tool more or less strips banners out of galleries/sites, so that BigKing Surfer has the comfort to see sterilized pages without even the need to looks at ads anymore...

Now the programmer of that tool claims it would be benifitting us hardworking webmasters because 2 tiny text links which are shown along with the "leeched" content might not only improve the surfer's 10000% jerkoff experience, but also the webmasters who might have another opportunity to sell through his program...

1) i don't want any sniffing program to babysit my bandwidth usage, by cutting out any graphical ads.
2) 2 tiny text links as shown on http://www.picsniffer.com/images/fullscreen.jpg

for sure won't increase my chances to sell something.
3) i highly doubt that a program like that is benifiting anyone but the programmer himself who cashes over 30$ per copy
4) I'm not waiting until that proggy gets so popular, that no one can change anything about it.
5) I want to be able to block that programm's user agent through htaccess (which ain't possible yet) along with all other bandwidth raping tools
6) and now here it comes :

From the point of vue of licensed content : HOW LEGAL IS THIS PROGRAM ?!? When i sign my licences, i sign them for being used on MY domains, and not for being used by 3rd party browsers which strip any selling-making opportunities out of my business...

Content providers : Isn't it infrigement of copyright and theft of services if a commercial tool like that allows access to content on my domains, for which i didn't give the permission for?

Free Site owners/makers : What is your point of vue about that?

Thanks, Michael

PS : that same thread is going on AW,I for those you'd like to read some of the background. But please reply here. Thanks.
