They use a free API to geolocate their visitors. Except their excessive use is way outside the AUP.... I've tried to contact them to no avail. Their geolocation is currently 403'ing to reduce load on my servers.

Since the javascript call cannot be canned by the firewall, the AUP clearly states:

Quote:
For users of the javascript webservice that bypass server identification, blacklisting means we reserve the right to change the output of the javascript to offset our costs, or refuse service completely, at our discretion. Users of this javascript service to geotarget advert-networks are particularly invited to contact us, since ad-network distribution put large stress on the servers due to the shear volume of hits they receive.
So, at my discretion, I'm offering up all these hits. You can use to hijack the window.href if you wish and control all of mediaset's traffic....
