You know it seems like it's getting harder every day to make money online, and like some one else mentioned, the net seems to be turning into a big shit pit. I hate to be negative, maybe it's time for a vaction..
What I still don't understand is how this can be legal? Every where I read, it is legal because the the surfer knows about it when they install or download the scum ware. But just like this whole thread is about, it's the websites that are getting ripped off, not the surfer. Just like everything I've read from Gator's cheif or what ever, it's the same, "It's legal because the sufer knows", well the surfer is not the one getting the shaft! If top text can change my pages, how can that be legal? I made those pages, they are on my server, my domain, my bandwidth at at my cost and they are servering their ads so they make money, there's no way that can be legal!
Seems like it would be very easy for any big company with the resources to document whats happening and sue the pants off them. Install their scumware, do screen shots and avs's or mpg's of it happening. Am I thinking wrong?
To me it's like a newspaper stand taking all the magazines off their shelves, pasting their own ads over the ones there. Then putting them back on the shelf to sell. Whats the difference? Would the magazines stand for that? I guess it's just a matter of time some one actually goes after them. I would hope it happens and maybe even some ruling or law against any program doing the same crap. Maybe I'm thinking in the clouds..
