Let's post some thoughts here or form a mailing list to beat these paranoid greedy creeps at their own game. We PAY for that space, we should control its content!

I'm working on ideas now (HINT: watermarking images with my web URL to protect from copyright infringement already got me a slap on the wrist). I'm not giving up. They've gone too far and have gotten too cocky.

Lets see...

How about a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT for egregious violations of the SHERMAN ANTITRUST ACT. Can anyone here spell RESTRAINT OF TRADE?

'Only a venues' simply have no right to manipulate content or impose competitors advertising on paid ads. Sure most juries would agree!

The best way to stop them is to stop listing there.
There are heaps of alternative sites around. You may have to list twice as much for twice as long but the sales and revenue is still there.
Don't just gripe about things ... vote with your feet and get out of there! Fast!
