So,
I know there's probably not one lawyer here but maybe I can get some helpful advice in this regard.
What are the legalties concerning adware? If I'm not installing via a botnet, there's a TOS describing the software is supported by ads and you can easily un-install it -- you are good to go? I mean how does PPV get away with it? It obviously can't be completely illegal.
This leads me to my real questions:
1) Can I legally insert ads into another page or does it have to be a pop-up? Is there a difference? Pretty sure yontoo is one company that is inserting ads into the pages rather than popping windows.
2) Can I replace existing ads in pages with my own? (eg: replace google ads/facebook ads with my own) -- this sounds like the one that would get me into trouble.
This sounds like a case of 'you can do it but as soon as you start raking in the dough be prepared to sell the company or get sued to oblivion'. Does this sound right?
