kazaa + toptext = content theft

If you run a website, you might have been upset to learn that Microsoft’s “Smart Tags” would alter your content to show Microsoft’s advertising as links within your pages. Microsoft postponed this plan, but apparently another company has launched a similar technology.

The technology is called TopText. The marketroids who vomited this onto the Internet work for eZula.com.

First, read the original report from the Chron: Mystery Links

Next, read the Slashdot analysis: Don’t Eat the Yellow Links.

Then, opt out by emailing support@ezula.com.

Kudos to miester for the warning!

Update: you can sign a petition to shut down ezula.com!
