MR - Enjoy your Pop Ups - they could be history

After reading about SpecificMedia's apparent hostility in comparing blocking pop-ups to ripping off music, thereby "stealing" from websites, I offer this thought. When I'm driving down the highway, am I paying for the advertising on the billboards along the road? You know, the ones that block out the scenery? If I chose to ignore those billboards and only pay attention to the green and blue signs (with the occasional yellow or red thrown in), how am I "stealing" from the advertisers? <br /> <br />I pay to access the Internet, businesses pay to advertise. I don't have to pay to enter my local Wal-Mart, I can step in, step out and not spend a penny. <br /> <br />I think Mr. VanderHook is shooting from the lip, so to speak.
