FTC Bars Popup Backdoor Ads

zanderredux was one of several readers to note that the FTC has banned backdoor popups. This is the result of the D Squared case that we've heard a bit about in the past. The case also restricted them from sending IM ads as well.

The corporation is a tool to avoid liability, otherwise unavailable to mere humans, unless they incorporate.

If you are such an expert on corporations, you should know that corporations offer LIMITED liability, not a complete avoidance of it. And here in Colorado, it's cheaper to incorporate than to buy a copy of Doom 3, so why don't mere humans incorporate to gain that "awsome" power?

BTW, you still haven't answered my question on why people commit fraud just don't incorporate and commit fraud through the corporation to avoid jail time.

Do you honestly believe that a small business owner who happen to incorporate has same protection with a CEO or a mega-corp with an army of lawyers and funds to settle?
