Correct. But the companies who use adware traffic are not the source of the problem. True if the adware companies had no clients they would die but going after that part of the process is not attacking the source. If I wanted to get rid of tobacco I wouldn't go around to every store that sells tobacco and ask them to stop. I would push to make it illegal to manufacture tobacco.

Also, saying we are all connected and directly or one or two steps away from supporting adware is not a cop out. You have said many times that adware affects us all. Right now at least, each of us is more involved in directly or indirectly supporting companies that use adware traffic than being adversely affected by it as affiliates.
