An interesting article, especially for those using KaZaa. From the article: “If you haven’t caught up with this topic yet, prepare to be horrified. When I checked CNet’s Download.com this week, eZula’s KaZaa had been downloaded 7.4 million times. Many of the 7.4 million people who downloaded KaZaa – a Napster-like file-sharing tool – apparently didn’t even realize that they were also installing TopText. TopText, like Microsoft’s widely denounced SmartTags, works through your browser. It modifies your web page, highlighting in yellow all the keywords which eZula has sold. Advertisers pay per click for the keywords. What it’s doing is inserting advertisers’ hyperlinks in YOUR pages.”
