Refuse. You are knowingly breaking the law. Even if a sympathetic court were to appreciate your moral dilemma of 'doing the right thing' and doing what your bosses tell you to, you are responsible for IT so the buck stops with you.
If you refuse and the company fire you, there is one almighty case for wrongful dismissal. I would suggest you get all of this in writing to as many key people as possible (bosses, HR, marketing/PR... and maybe even an outside party), making sure that any correspondences are dated and signed. Also request they acknowledge the receipt of anything you send them.
If you ignore the problem and FACT find out, the only result will be your neck on the chopping block.
Good luck

How annoying is that? You knock the mouse, something else opens. Some things open when you aren't even near them and if your cursor is on the left and the link you want if on the right, everything in between flashes up as you move.
I would actively avoid such websites so I hope this isn't a sign of things to come

This stuff isn't that new. It definately has been sold for quite a while under the name TX Active [ http://www.italcementigroup.com/ENG/Media+and+Communication/News/Corporate+events/20060228.htm ]. They used it to make the Air France head quarters at Charles de Gaulle Airport a few years back. http://www.physorg.com/news67012896.html
