Not just that, but why wouldn't ads start using your bandwith for this sort of thing ? Do you get a legal claim for your bandwith costs (especially on mobile) against the site owner for doing this without your permission ?
Do you get a claim against your browser maker ?
- Myrth 11y agoIs there a difference between using bandwidth this way, or loading say 150MB image? (bandwidth costs wise)
- iofj 11y agoI would certainly say yes. They're using your bandwidth to serve another one of their customers, for free, without compensating you in any way. Whereas loading a 150MB image from their server is using their bandwidth (that they're paying for) to serve you. Legally, I have no idea. Morally, it'd be nice if they at least asked and actually had a working site if you say "no".
