Ok, don't get mad get even...
Gator is so sure that if a user agrees to what is happening it's ok to screw a third party (in this case the webmaster) out of their income.
Ok, if they're so sure about that let's switch this. I'll put a message up on my site that everybody that comes to my site downloads gator's programs/graphics/code/scripts without seeing anything of it. By Gator's standards that would be ok, 'cause it's in my small print. People saw me use the code before. I have no problem giving out a piece of JavaScript that will load stuff in the background, 'causing high bandwidth bills with no result for them at all. But by their standards this is cool.
I'm pretty sure that if enough of the big sites (if we can get a couple of free hosts and bigger sites that are abused by this we're talking a shitload of bandwidth), as soon as their bandwidth costs are going to get higher than what they make out of this they eventually have to give up. This could become a nice battle...
