How did they get to your site? How can you complain about them "using your resources" and not paying for it? You can claim all you want that this isn't about the offer of "free stuff", but that'sa the hook EVERYONE uses to get customers. If you don't understand that, then you're seriously deluded about how this business works. Free galleries, sample vids, whatever. It's all about the come on to try to sell sign-ups. Well, you offer loss leaders, you have to be prepared to take the loss sometimes.

That's only because you choose not to. Everyone who is saying they have the "right" to force anything on exiting traffic because "they are taking my shit and not paying for it" is whining. But whining bitches never think they are whining, do they?

So, you walk into a theater which says "free movie", and on the way out they tell you "Now you have to sit though this sales pitch for timeshares for 1/2 hour". You say "WTF?" and THEN they tell you "if you dont find it a deal we dont expect them to come back".
If you want to "charge", whether it's $ or by forcing anything on someone who clearly doesn't want to do it, you'd better do it on the way in, not by ambushing them on the way out (NB: remember we're not talking about simply pop-ups, but hacking someone's OS so that you disable their pop-up blocking).
