Yahoo! China sued over ad software

Obviously, Yahoo! is getting some opposition for its use of unsolicited ads. A Chinese users' organization with the strange name "Anti-Hooligan Software Federation" brought to court Yahoo! China's Yahoo! Assistant, a small so called IE helper tool. The software bugs you with all kind of commerical pop-ups and unwanted ads.

Interesting to see that some online revenue models do not seem to hold very long before users get annoyed.

Nice coverage here: ChinaDaily
