原文标题:Real Evil: ISP Inserted Advertising by Duncan Riley (TechCrunch)
Texas based ISP Redmoon has implemented software that hijacks pages being visited by their customers by placing Redmoon’s own ads on these pages.
德州的ISP公司 Redmoon 开始在自己的用户上网时向他们浏览的网页里强行插播Redmoon自己的广告。
The technology is provided by NebuAD, which boasts that ISP delivered advertisements are an untapped source of revenue.
Redmoon公司使用的插播广告技术是由 NebuAD 公司提供的,后者认为这种强行插播广告的模式是一种尚未被挖掘的收入模式。
Every single web site owner is affected by NebuAD’s technology: whether a site is running ads or not makes no difference, Customers of any ISP evil enough to run NebuAD’s platform are going to see ads on every page on every site; ads that don’t benefit the content creator. It is important to note that these ads are NOT pop-ups, and this is not a free internet service; the ads are served as if they were part of the page, to paying internet customers who are NOT made aware that these ads have been inserted by their ISP.
所有的网站都会受到这种插播广告的行为影响,无论该网站本身是否显示广告。只要是Redmoon这种无耻ISP的用户都将会在自己浏览的每个网站的每个页面上看到被强行插播的广告,当然广告收入不属于网站。值得一提的是这些插播的广告不是弹出窗口广告,而ISP也不是提供免费上网服务。用户看到的广告就仿佛是来自他们访问的页面本身一样,因此多数用户根本没有意识到自己看到的广告是ISP强行插播的。
As a content creator I’m horrified that any page I create could be plastered with advertisements I don’t approve of as I’m sure many others will be as well. There are probably copyright issues as well in terms of hijacking original works for profit. We can only hope that this evil form of advertising does not spread beyond Texas.
作为网站内容制作者我对这种行为感到震惊,因为他们强行在我网站上插播的广告根本没有经过我的认可,并且我坚信其他人也会同意我的观点。从法律角度考虑这种行为同样会有侵犯版权和产生非法收益等问题。现在我们只能祈祷这种无耻的行径不会流传到德州以外的地方。
