Umm.. more importantly, this can take away steal my ad revenue if it grabs my pages' code, deep packet inspects it - saving my visitors click-data, cookie info, etc., then injects its own ads over mine.
What makes them think this is even remotely legal? |

What makes them think this is even remotely legal? It's not legal. A few years back, some websites started to engage in "framing". For example, they would show the New York Times website in a frame, while displaying their own ads in an adjacent frame, thus effectively attaching their own ads to the Times (without any permission from or payment to the Times). Framing was challenged in court, and found to be illegal. That's why you don't see it any more. For an ISP to inject their own ads into your web pages is certainly illegal under the same principle. |
