I don't get the constant references to "business" from you and others with similar views. Traffic hijacking has nothing to do with legitimate competition and it is obtuse to imply otherwise, simply because the law always takes a while to catch up with technology and hasn't done so yet in this case.

Or is that someone who writes out a check to Zango (or to an affiliate who pays Zango) is somehow not stealing traffic as surely as if he wrote the code himself and planted it directly onto your server?

By extension I don't get the talk about friendship, liking etc either. Unless you are kidding yourself that traffic hijacking isn't really theft, how naive (at best) do you have to be to rationalize theft away according to the way it is done and the amount involved? Simple question: what kind of "friend" would steal from you?

I can respect the heck out of someone who beats me fair and square. And if I respect someone, there is a pretty good chance I might like him/her too. But respect or like someone who clearly thinks I'm just another mug to be suckered? What kind of of fool would that make me?
