"Spitzer's civil suit accuses Intermix of violating state General Business Law provisions against false advertising and deceptive business practices. He also accuses them of trespass under New York common law."

Good call. Like I have stated at least several times, there is no need for new laws to handle the internet medium. It just requires applying existing law.

"In a separate move, CNET Networks Inc. announced it was removing nearly 600 programs from its popular Download.com service under a new ban on "adware," or software for distributing advertising. CNET already had a ban on spyware."

It'd be interesting to see which programs are removed.
