=don't use digital cable, they know you channel surf to Cartoon Network and watch PowerPuff Girls
-don't use a grocery shopping card that gives you instant savings, they are tracking your consumption of pudding
-don't use a credit card, they know about the blow-up doll you purchased with the lifelike hair and the school girl outfit.
-don't turn on cookies in your web browser, they know you visited DrSpock.com and you don't even have a kid.
-don't answer the phone, the homeland security has all calls bugged, running them through a monster of a sniffy program that analyzes audio and will know you like to talk dirty on the phone.
-don't open your door, people will see that you hadn't showered in 5 days.

I find that entire post quite rude...
If the attitude through this venture is that webmasters must give up their rights for the good of the sponsor so YOU can make your money... Then good riddance...
There are many reasons, other than illegal ones or cheating ones that webmasters choose to control traffic through their sites...
First of all this is a commercial venture... You can go on all day about the Righteousness of it and all that but bottom line is it something to make YOU money... Not the webmaster, not the Sponsor, Not ASACP... YOU...
If you were in this for the morality of it then you would give the technology to ASACP, not be trying to market it...
So, if you want to get some webmaster buy in on it I would suggest you stop dismissing the privacy and rights concerns of the people in this thread as being unimportant because we can trust you guys etc....
