[LUG] Adblock

 

"AdBlock Plus sued by German marketing companies"

http://www.neowin.net/news/adblock-plus-sued-by-german-marketing-companies

Okay, was going to happen sooner or later, but I expected the Americans to be first. What I didn't expect was the news that Adblock had been taking money to auto-whitelist certain ad-generating domains. I'm a little disappointed by that as this was one of my "go to" game-changer plugins.

"Awfully nice banner ad you've got there guv, be a shame if something was to happen to it..."

Not sure who I support here. Authors of a free-to-use plugin who have been taking bribes, or advertising agencies angry their competitors are giving those bribes.
