I’m so excited I can’t even type, so no commentary (yet!) Just want to share the GREAT news from Commission Junction’s “Network Quality Department”. No Parasites ALLOWED! Thanks CJ!!!

(Added later) OK so I got carried away, it’s not quite as good as I 1st thought after only skimming (as several people pointed out to me.) However, it’s still a step in the right direction and every little step helps! Here is the most important paragraph:

“In order to sustain this open marketplace of information, Commission Junction will no longer allow special programs engaged in the purchase of media from ad services that download and install software on an end-user’s computer. For special programs currently engaged in such practices, Commission Junction requests that you immediately discontinue such practices. We will continue to monitor such programs to insure that special descriptions are properly updated. ”
