Gator, an online advertising company, that bundles its software with many popular file sharing programs is been sued.
The Washington Post, The New York Times, Dow Jones and seven other publishers this week sued the Gator online advertising network in a bid to bar the company from serving pop-up ads on their Web sites without their permission.
