There are also apps (for free, even) that can kill such pop-ups, and other irritating ads from ever appearing. I use on at home and as work: AdSubtractPro does the job fairly well at work, and "adkiller" at home does a fantastic job of killing any such annoyance. I highly reccomend finding and using such apps.
So, which of those, BoR rights does stealing others work fall under? The "pursuit of happiness"? I don't see the argument here. It boils down to a matter of, supply and demand. If you feel the RIAA, record companies, artists, content creators are charging to much for their intellectual property....DON'T BUY IT! But, don't steal it either. If enough people don't pay the demanded cash, the price will have to go down or the creators don't have a business. Seems simple to me.
Ahhhh, the old dicussion as timeeless as time itself. Why, why, why can't everyone be like me???
We cannot "pin" down the reason that people are jerks to each other. They are myriad and diverse.
Maybe its like the way people drive: the anonymity of being in your car, and all that power and steel surrounding you, makes it ok to cut off the other guy. Or to flip off the person who offended you in some way. Or maybe you are right, people take out their frustrations in an anonymous way on people who didn't really do anything to them. Asking the "good guys" to stand up to it is nonsense at best. Should we all strap on 45s and call each other out, like "Shoot out at the OK corral"??? We must all learn tolerance. Which is ever so difficult in an intolerant world.
I'd bet the people at HP ignore those little nasty grams. Just as any proffesional should.
