German court: popups need permiission - GoFuckYourself.com

Is that the future?

(sorry if it was posted before)

A European court has issued a preliminary injunction against Claria--formerly known as Gator--that prohibits the company's pop-up and pop-under ads from appearing over a German rental car Web site without the agency's permission. The injunction, announced Friday by plaintiff Hertz Autovermietung, the German division of Hertz, is the latest victory for companies that oppose the unauthorized use of pop-ups on their sites. The Court of First Instance in Cologne, Germany, ruled March 12 that Claria had violated sections of a German law against unfair competition. Claria and others, such as WhenU, distribute software commonly called adware or spyware that monitors Web-surfing behavior and delivers targeted ads that pop up as windows on the computer screen. The programs sometimes wind up on PCs without their users' knowledge, because they come bundled with other programs, such as file-swapping applications.
