Re: inb4 every corporate executives... Generally I wasn't referring to this article itself, but to how a few out of many corporate executives would act, if it were for the sake of making a quick buck.
By criminal, means things that may not be legal, or may even be bad to the general public.
For instance, what if ads that are injected, for the sake of gaining more profits, they use ads that may be linked to virus sites or even have scripts run when the media/content appears on the site? |

| Just because its not legal does not make it criminal. Criminal is a whole different ball park. at best this would be civil and not anywhere near criminal. |

Chesterfield, MO | If they replace an ad, they could be charged with fraud/deception. I'm sure you can agree if a postal worker took payment to put a sticker that covered the front page of a weekly ad mailer with competitors ads, that's fraud/deception for profit or gain. That is a crime. For profit and gain, both the postal worker and the organization who paid the worker are deceiving the intended recipient of the mail and the original advertiser. (While not currently relevant to Internet bits and bytes, they are also tampering with the mail which is a federal felony -- if only we had a law like this for the Internet!) |
