Slashdot Mirror
Web Publishers Sue Gator
shofmann writes "The Washington Post is reporting that a number of publishers, including the Washington Post, is suing Gator Corp. over their obnoxious spyware, saying that Gator is "a parasite that free rides on the hard work and investment"
of other people's web sites. The lawsuit alleges that Gator's spyware contributes to trademark infringement, misappropriation of the news, and
represents unfair competition." The publishers seem to be distressed about Gator replacing website ads with its own. Several people submitted this related article about blocking internet advertising - nothing really new here for geeks, but a good URL to send to your less technically-inclined friends.
News for nerds to pass on to their friends, stuff that matters to other people?
sdsdfs this is the first asdfadsf
There are ads on the web? With all my anti-ad stuff, I never see one.

Sounds like the welfare system. And social security. And Medicare. We need a lawsuit to get rid of those parasitic, cannibalistic programs.
They're merely theft. Legalized plunder.
