Court Says Gator-style Ads Are Legal, "A federal court has ruled that pop-up ads for rivals of U-Haul International, placed atop the moving company's own site by a third-party software application, are legal."

"The summary decision", came out last week. Not sure what type it was or the rational. Full decision will be available next week.

Hopefully more analysis then. As for now note this is not a decision about "drive by downloads" but is probably really an issue of "palming off".

I can't really see how any court would not think this was palming off or some other form of unfair competition but only time will tell!!!
