The story about Mikie Rods and Reffy/PRstorm
Michael Pollit asked me to hold back some information about Mikie Rods when that case hit. He was going to write a story for an English newspaper, and wanted some info to come out then - Mikie lost his broadband internet connection. That part of the story was something Michael had ferreted out, so it was his to release.
Now, finally - after many delays, the story is out:
Michael Pollitt enters the murky world of referrer spam.
Moral maze
From loans and ringtones to pornography: Michael Pollitt enters the murky world of referrer spam
I’m actually surprised he held back when it came to M0nkey. I know who the guy is. That may be why he more and more hid behind other people, changed the name of the software and eventually sold it.

Why would it be unethical, any more than it is unethical to wear a highly visible company logo on a piece of clothing?”
Heh heh. Someone tell him to make highly visible red and pink stickers which says “TEXAS HOLDEM POKER PHENTERMINE VIAGRA MILF RAPE SEX,” and walk around Oslo, randomly slapping those stickers onto people’s clothing without permission, then claim that it’s all perfectly ethical when the mob comes with pitchforks and tazers.

Or better yet, make that Bergen, a big Norwegian city quite close to where M0nkey lives…
