US judge: Web users 'must endure' pop-up ads
Quote:
Monday September 8, 2003
Internet users will continue to be plagued by unwanted pop-up adverts after a US judge ruled websites can do nothing to prevent companies placing ads on their pages without permission.
"Alas, we computer users must endure pop-up advertising," district judge Gerald Bruce Lee ruled in a US court in Virginia.
While this ruling applies only to America, other US-based web judgments have tended to set a precedent on this side of the Atlantic.
The decision is a blow to the owners of websites that have been plagued by rogue advertising.
Over the past two years online publishers have filed more than a dozen lawsuits against internet advertising firms Gator Corporation and WhenU.com.

One reason more to use Popup killer ( or equivalent) and not to use popup as part of your site ( popup photos, forms, ...).
