1 edit | Injection is illegal
It's illegal (at least in the US) to modify copyrighted works.
In order to insert these messages the ISP intercepts and modifies the HTML of the content (eg Google's HTML being rendered in your browser) to inject a line of code that executes their javascript (that creates the frame etc). Without this javascript line, there can be no ad injection.
The HTML is copyrighted and can not be modified without the permission of the author.
As for DNS redirection...unless the ads on the DNS redirection page use some sort of NebuAd technology, this DNS redirection is just redirection and has nothing to do with DPI.
While redirection drives me nuts and breaks a lot of apps, I know people who actually like it as the results near the top of the page are typically what they were trying to get to.
But these services should be opt-in not opt-out. If DNS redirection is so great and so wanted, the ISPs would have no problem signing people up. |

2 edits | Because a copyright holder has to bring suit and they won't bother spending the money when Congress is already looking at NebuAd and may do the work for them. |

1 edit | NebuAd does not just toss ads in on any page. They work with ad networks such and doubleclick
But next they'll just do pop-ups or something else to get around anything.
ISPs will also just buy Congress and get their way. besides the Sentors that decided to "look" are only wanting to get their names out due to elections are coming up. |

| Doesn't matter who's ads they are. It's NebuAd that is intercepting and illegally modifying other's copyrighted HTML code to add the javascript execution line required to place the ad (whoevers ad it may end up being).
Meanwhile while ISPs attempt to buy Congress, content providers and ad competitors like Google have more money and have PR on their side. |

Cleveland, OH | NebuAd does not modify any code. They WORK WITH OTHER AD COMPANIES TO DISPLAY THEIR ADS ON THOSE PAGES!
YOU DON'T LISTEN! |

1 edit | And you don't READ. Faireagle was developed by NebuAd.
»ISPs Injecting Ads Into Pages
»www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/23···_nebuad/
They ABSOLUTELY modified HTML to inject javascript...that's how Faireagle works.
It's certainly no surprise that 6 of their top goons work for Gator. |
