Good points.
It's because theres a myth out there in mainstream land that websites SEND you information, whether you've asked for it or not.
I recently saw a news piece on CNN and the reporter was trying to describe how "surfing" works. He said in effect that the server is *sending* information that you may or may not wish to see.
As we know, thats pure shit on so many levels, but it's the prevailing mis-understanding out there in the "real" world.
Someone needs to have a court case that defines how the 'net really works. The browser *literally* is requesting a webpage. A server merely listens for a request, and if the page is found, it's served.
But to listen to media, you'd think it's as if a porn store was coming to your home and forcing porno under your door.
Pretty fucked up.
