kudos:1 | lawsuit time Hopefully the will get sued and have to pay a huge amount of damages. We need one ISP to be used as an example so that none of the rest of them think that this is a good idea. |

| damages for what???? Can you cite a law that is being broken???? And you do realize that many ISPs have more money than you can dream of to keep things like this out of court. And don't ask the FCC to do anything for you. They're powerless as it is and do not control the Internet.
And you do realize that there is a clause in many ISPs's AUP/TOS that states you only lease their private network - which is an IntRAnet and not IntERnet. Meaning they can do what they wish with THEIR private network, they're only providing you access to the Internet at will?? |

If I create content on MY website and someone else is putting ads on there are getting revenue from it, then that is a problem. |

| Or, in another case, if their ad injections results in sites that are criminal or dangerous to the general public.
Most ad generating revenues that is used online, are done to maximize profits, even if it means increasing said risk of exposing the public on your site to script based hijacking if they click, or even have the ads run when they view it. |

they're NOT on the website. That's the part you don't seem to get on most of these. They're just a pop-over. And still is not illegal. There is NOT a law that states they can NOT do it. That's the whole point. You are all claiming this is illegal but fail to cite any laws that make it "illegal". Especially when copyright laws does not make this anywhere near illegal. |

| What gives any ISP the right to use up your paid for bandwidth. They can't legitimately set a cap and then force you to use it for their advertising too. That's the biggest problem with the internet, like television: people are being forced to subsidize revenue in the guise of user fees. Shouldn't have to pay for tv if you have to watch advertising, anymore than you should have to pay for bandwidth if they are going to use that bandwidth to make you watch ads. How come no one ever screams bloody murder about that? |
