Gator-style Overlay Ads Are Legal, Says Court

donutz writes "C|Net has the scoop: "A federal court has ruled that pop-up ads for rivals of U-Haul International, placed atop the moving company's own site by a third-party software application, are legal." In this case, it was ad serving company WhenU.com placing the ads, but this decision could have a big impact on the court cases that involve competitor Gator."

    Hint: They don't look right on Mac OS X, either.

    Hint: Linux is about as popular as Windows, and both are far more popular than OS X.

    The numbers speak for themselves:

    Searched the web for Linux.

    You really ought to question the reactionary approach against viruses etc. (Reactionary : after the harm has been done)

    Take the proactive approach. Make sure no such program ever becomes active. Simple way to do that : install linux, where programs do what you want instead of what they want.
