No kidding! It's such a scam and it's a crime they get away with calling these people users when 90% of them aren't even knowingly "using" their product! It's unreal that this company gets to do what it does, and they defend it as if they've got a legitimate customer base :|

See you in Hell, Gator :| from heaven of course

"users"...."victims"......really just hair-splitting if you ask me.

OMFG. That SEC filing is better than fiction.

"If we fail to sustain and expand the number of users who have installed our AdServer software, we may not be able to maintain or increase revenue. "

Nobody asked for it.

"Changes in Microsoft?s software and other technological factors may erode our existing user base, curtail future growth of our user base and negatively impact our ability to deliver advertisements. "

Nobody wants it.

"Negative perceptions and adverse publicity concerning our business practices could damage our reputation and harm our business. "

You reap what you sow.

"We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which could cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantial damages and be prevented from providing our services. "

Oh darn!
