Title: Share Cool Stuff and Make Money
Post by: Mulligan on September 13, 2012, 10:53:36 AM
There's a WordPress plugin on the market until six p.m. EST today (9/13/2012) that I think raises some complex copyright issues, and I'm hoping some of you can take a few minutes to watch this sales pitch video about this "TrustJacker" plugin:

Using this plugin to frame content (articles) on other sites with an ad the site knows knowing about seems legally dangerous to me. What do you think?

SCAM! destined t be an epic fail.. can't speak to the copyright issues, mainly because it would depend on how the content is framed, by the name of it alone, it's cause for concern..

It will work for a few people for a little while. But then what...

Suppose I have twitter followers, I use that plugin and start dropping links. Pretty soon my followers are going to get pissed off when they learn that they are arriving at a framed page and will be presented a pop-up after click.

But also: To the extent this catches on, site owners are going to start using framebusters routinely.
