WhenU.com Enjoined From Competing Pop-Ups

Posted by timothy on from the a-little-too-easy-that-way dept.

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."

    see all spammers and pop-up software writers be sent directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.
