Re: He's right....
The links to the ads are embedded in the web page but the browser requests the ads, and the address in the header would be that of the browser's connection, not the website.
This whole discussion is silly anyway. As TK Junk Mail  points out, the "content providers" have a lot more to lose in this battle than any ISP. What do you think would happen to Amazon if they cut off Comcast, for example? That's a lot of shoppers.
And as we sit here wasting keystrokes, nobody has actually done this (on either side). What you've got are some pinheaded corporate execs spouting off without thinking, and some equally pointy-headed bloggers ranting away at ghosts.
Once there is a verified case of this happening, then the discussion has merit. The rest is a colossal waste of time. |
