I fail to understand how this can prevent the stores involved from purchasing advertising space outside the mall's property. There's always the option to buy air time on radio, TV, and billboard space. And does the prohibition extend to business cards of the individual store owners? It would be interesting to see this go to court. If the mall wins, which I doubt, it'll only be due to technicalities in the lease contracts. Surely some compromise to this may be possible, where the mall can advertise the products of it's tenants online, and therefore receive a cut of take. (Of course, it'll mean somewhat higher prices for the online purchasing public. LOL!) Kibble
