Ummmm. Hacking is a crime for end users(and in this case 'wiretapping' by the ISP to be specific). So why is hacking the users data by the ISP, via DPI and javascript not a crime? Hmmmm.
Whoever has the biggest payroll to buy Federal Judges tends to win, as the end user can not afford to spend years on what should take 15 minutes to fight in court. With the innocent users winning.
Until enough people from various ISP's standup and say, "no freaking way will we let you Hack our data to insert Ad's or notifications".
Quit trying to protect big business. They got Rich with zero regulation and paid for Judges in a specific State/county, to be able to not give a ratts ass what the law says.
It isn't hacking and it isn't illegal interception by the true definition however it crosses ethical boundaries and certainly borders on intellectual property rights violations which would be civil in most cases depending on the severity of the violation. For the later of the two whoever takes this on legally has one hell of a fight ahead of them because I'm fairly sure this would be uncharted waters....not a good place to be unless you have deep deep pockets.
