FIrst Microsoft kills off all popups reducing revenue for a lot of people existing on the exit traffic as the profit margin....

Now Epoch steps up and kills off prechecked cross sales.

My my surfers arent getting charged for something they really didnt order to begin with!

Thinking like that is exactly why the average webmaster is living on air and ends up back at their previous 9 to 5'er

Sounds like someone we know?
Bad time for spammers and scammers.... hey isnt that some of that AdWare that Flop Earred Bunny was bragging his system did?

CONCORD, N.H. - A federal judge has ordered a man known as the "Spam King" to disable so-called spyware programs that infiltrate people's computers, track their Internet use and flood them with pop-up advertising.



U.S. District Judge Joseph DiClerico issued a temporary restraining order Thursday against Stanford Wallace and his companies, SmartBot.net Inc. of Richboro, Pa., and Seismic Entertainment Productions Inc. of Rochester. SmartBot's principal place of business is Barrington.


Prosecutors sought the injunction on behalf of the Federal Trade Commission, which targeted Wallace in its first anti-spyware action.


The judge ordered Wallace to remove software code that exploits security holes in computer operating systems and Web browsers, then tracks people's Internet use to bombard them with pop-up ads.


Wallace also is accused of trying to sell computer users $30 remedies called "Spy Wiper" and "Spy Deleter" that the FTC says don't work.

Not all webmasters are stupid.

They're going to want to know how programs can pay 30-35 per trial signup now that they also know there is no way to keep a "profit margin" with exit sales and cross sales.

What will the new excuse be?

Wait, I can already hear it.... "Our shit retains forever!"

stamford Wallace, aka "spam king" has had so many judgements against him it is ridiulous. I think he first got the smackdown in the late 90s. i thought he was dead, personally. hes been around for at least 10 years with the spam stuff
Actually he was at the Venetian Jan 03 I think it was during Internext, playing craps at a roped off reserved table.
