Banner Hijacking

[webtrend]

There are toolbars out there which upon installation will replace all the standard sized banners on pretty much any website with their own ads. To me it sounds like a boat load of legal problems down the road unless I am missing something.

What do you guys think?

The idea has popped in my head before, I didn't know it was already implemented. The reason I dismissed it was that popups are probably better anyway

its kinda arbitrary what law takes precidence i think. its not illegal to bypass ads, why should it be illegal to switch them around? provided the user has accepted a license agreement ofc.

also i know nothing of the law, you should consult with legal expertise instead of relying on me. nothing good would come of that

 

[iliketurtles]

why would it be illegal?

why would you post this? oh i know, it's because you're a retard

So in essence what you guys are saying is that you can alter any publisher's webpage and represent the ammended version to the enduser and the publisher will not come after you? I highly doubt that.

QFT. The OP is a complete an utter fuckwit.

There should be a toolbar that replaces all the bullshit threads in forums with threads full of boobs and ninjas.

The technology is out there... (not exactly executed the way you mention, but much more efficient) and it's pricey ($1.5k I think)
