if NebuAD wants to defuse the PR nightmare, then they should stop doing what they're doing.
Fat chance of that.
Up yours NebuAD, flame on!  |

| Yes, Nebuad and similar spyware schemes deserve a "public relations nightmare" and much worse.
Unfortunately they still haven't got the message: The blurb from the press release still does not promise to let anyone opt out of the data-interception. The description is consistent with merely a non-cookie-based means of opting out of the ads, while one's data is still hijacked. |

| Exactly, and I happen to believe that the click data is generated on my computer on my home network first and foremost and is therefore MY data. It does not belong to the ISP I am connected to.
Just like any company who is generating data on the web, the fact that it transverses common carrier networks does not mean those carriers have rights to view or use the data.
Of course the ISP folks will or have just put terms in the TOS which indicate you're screwed and that they can spy on you whenever. Isn't that how it usually works?
