Cambaby: Actually, go look up the fair use cases for images. You will see that what fusker does is far beyond fair use.
Further, they present the content within their site, on their web pages, with their advertising, without a license.
Content providers these days are pretty much lame-ass when it comes to legal action. They aren't making enough of a margin making content to be able to afford a lawyer to serve these people in another state, and they don't want to be the ones setting the precident. So the whole thing just goes on.
Programs (such as AVNAds) are not bound by court decisions to make their choices. It is clear within our community that this type of arrangement isn't good, it steals from other webmasters, and money is made by having other people pay to support your site unwittingly.
Any number of news organizations have already won lawsuits stopping "inside" linking of their material. Fusker is the ultimate inside linker.
