Well here's what one court case had to say about it.

Problem with American Law is that there are so many loopholes that lawyers exploit them with abandon.

The legal community is it's worst enemy and the legislative branch of our government is grossly negligent in curtailing these events.

The law shouldn't be confusing. When it is, it's no longer the solution, it's the problem.

Yup...

The American System is broken. I am still wondering why American people are not burning shit while hanging Attornies and Politicians yet.

Exterminating the rich politicians and taking there money can do wonders for the defecit. Besides its our money anyways.

Relax in the next 4 years you may see some changes to this.


I mean the burning and the Hanging.

When people cheat you and steel from you, you do not have the slightest inclination to see them go down?

AlienQ, that's a two-fold sword. The American people allow this shit to happen because so many of them are 'in on the scam' and let the attornies do this shit. Crime is America's big business machine.

We lie about it through our teeth but still let every damned scam and ripoff we can muster get through the cracks, put an umbrella on it and run and hide when the heat comes down. People only get arrested when they louse up a crime, not because they're committing a crime.

The crime statistics are abominable. Even our government has committed heinous crimes against us for profit and vindictiveness.

If you really want a scare check out the mind control experiments from the 50's on up til now. Freakin' evil-ass-shit to say the least.

You wonder how far this shit will go on sometimes.

Just drop a search on MKULTRA and that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's no telling what other sinister shit has and is going on to bend the minds of the public to the military-industrialists.

Reminds me of that cartoon character in the GI Joe toon: Dr. Mindbender.

In addition, look at Los Angeles. The most undermanned police dept. with millions of people at the hands of gangs that have been around for decades.

Know why? Because there's more money to be made in crime than stopping it.

HotBar is another shit application pulling the same kind of stuff.

If I am not mistaken this webpry stuff is the same shit concept.

If you have it, you cannot uninstall it without knowhow, or a couple of third party applications.

I installed on one of my older machines to see how it works.

Anyone with major traffic should be worried about this, imo.

I made a post on the board a couple weeks ago about it and not one reply. So either folks don't care, or just don't understand.

Go to sex.com with HotBar installed and it is simply a big ad for sexsearch.com. If you go to sex toy sites all you see is AdamEve ads everywhere.
This especially sucks if you have just payed a buck to get that visitor to YOUR site.

I told my sex.com rep about it and he just laughed and went on to tell me how to remove it, lol. I figured they would care about this kind of stuff, but...:helpme

funwebproducts
is another one I am sure alot of you guys see in your browser stats.

Greg B 11-06-2004 01:07 PM

Quickdraw I know that one. I had to fix that myself. I can't count how many spyware things that I've had to debug that everyone couldn't. When I worked for AOL there was one every other month.

Another one that pisses me off is that 'free porn portal' thingie that pops up and hijacks your browser and sends trojans at the user.

I'm so tired of this kind of shit I'm headed over to my old legal squad and set things right once and for all. It gives us all a bad name and gives the man the proper cause for jumping down our throats.

It is best if everyone in the adult community dogpiles on these types of things. Those that don't are gonna be the ones first suspected.

Commission Junction (a.k.a. CJ) continues to allowed WhenU to be a super affiliate member. Jeff Pullen CJ's president even defended (in a manner of speaking) WhenU's right to swipe commissions from other affiliates.

No shit! That's alarming! Does the program swipe porn affiliates or does it just hit mainstream shit like Amazon?

This is akin to putting a fake doorway on your competitor's shop so that people going into his store goe into yours instead.

I think the legal eagles have overlooked something fundamental and I for one am going to the big guns in D.C. to point this out.

With all the mom and pop websites out there trying to eek out a living via the web this is sure to cause an alarm. I wonder if Matt Drudge knows his affiliate signups are being swiped. Hmmm....

JimmyF, you can say that again.

With some of the shit I've seen crop up in this business over the past year and a half I wouldn't be suprised if one day we all woke up and half the web was gone.
