Hollywood victory in DVD hacker case.

I'm too disappointed with recent rulings to comment properly, so instead I'll talk about web advertising. Salon has gone absolutely bonkers in web advertising lately. In addition to their no-ad subscription system, they're doing pop-overs, pop-overs with sound, animated delay screens, in-line big-boxes, interactive in-line big-boxes, and even in-line big-boxes with full motion video with sound. Some of it I hate: sound should most definitely be something the user requests specifically, pop-ups should be limited to one per page view, and delay screens just suck. But some of it I love: the looping full motion video compelled me to click on the "listen" button (to turn on sound that's off by default) and I watched the whole damn ad. I've seen some great interactive in-line big-boxes here and elsewhere, too.
