WhenU.com Enjoined From Competing Pop-Ups

Frisky070802 writes "The NY Times reports that a preliminary injunction has been issued against WhenU.com, a company that distributes software that performs certain tasks for users but also intercepts their website visits so that, for instance, a visitor to Expedia would see a pop-up ad for Orbitz. Now if only we could get rid of all the rest of the pop-up ads."

In terms of ads and pop-ups, what would you recommend companies use to pay the bills? It's one thing to have community projects running around, but even those have a bottom line.
