About 5 minutes ago.
THe article is about atechnology which is going to be in IE6 that adds *smart tags* to webpages without the authors permission that add links based on words to various sites, no doubt these sites will pay a premium to microsoft for this. I have to question the morality/legality of modifying copyrighted content in *any* way without the authors opinion, what do you lot think? They will eb able to be disabled but still......As the author of ocelet.hypermart.net the idea of microsft, a compnay i despise shoving its paid for links all over my content shits me up the wall.....
