Direct Revenue Settles Adware Class Action LawSuit

In what looks like a huge victory for Direct Revenue Adware Suit they settled a class action lawsuit based on allegations that they installed ad-serving software on computers without the owner's consent with no cash penalty. The proposed settlement (it still has to be approved by the judge) will have Direct Revenue stop distributing adware on sites targeting children under 18, and from using the word "free" in banner ads, unless they disclose that the service will be ad supported. They also agreed to use the word "advertisement" instead of "offers" to describe their promotions.
